Graphics - depends on the games. Each consoles can dish out very beautiful games, it is up to the game developers to optimize the graphics for each consoles. But due to the laziness of some developers, you might see some difference between consoles. But really, the case of this happening are not frequent.

Lasting - I only have my PS3 Slim for 3 months, so can't say how long it can last. X360 however is still prone to RROD esepcially if you are gaming for more than 5 hrs wan. Need to make sure your area are well ventilated. I buy 2 X360 in less than 2 yrs due to RROD beyond repair on one of the consoles.

Each console have almost every variety of games. BUT X360 seems to have more FPS games, while PS3 have more adventure type games? Hard to describe this. Again, this will depend on which type of games you like.

Good to hear ur thoughts, I love playing games like Crysis, COD, GTA, NFS, and more on those racing + action. But im afraid of getting consoles. So far on my search throughout the net, i heard many complaints on the YROD for PS3 and RROD in X360. Im afraid of buyin it and ending up waste as it fails. Im extreme gamer n i do play like more than 6 hours straight. So, should i get the console? My home has no AC, n kinda Hot here. Even my lappy gets overheated sometimes.

Hello there everyone, I would like to know which console is better, Xbox 360 or PS3.
I did some findings on both, and found that both has Pros n cons. Im considering the following situation:

1) I want for EXTREME gaming, so no compromise on graphics (Which one has better graphics?)
Xbox 360 or PS3

2) I want it to last long without any problems, such as FAILURES, REPAIRS, DAMAGE n ETC
this one dunno yet, older Xbox 360 50% suffered RROD, PS3 YLOD is much lesser than that

3) Excellent GRAPHICS of course!
most of the time its hard to notice the differences

4) More varieties of games, i mean NEW ones! Like COD MW2, AssCreed, and all those super cool new games, including my fav GTA IV
Those game both consoles also got

5) I dont care of the PRICE! AS long its worth my money

6) Excellent warranty period + good service = I don want problematic stuff and procedures,  I JUST HATE PROBLEM giving stuff.
PS3 got local warranty

7) I want ORIGINAL, i mean FULLY ORIGINAL! (May be play with some pirated games, SOME, SOME biggrin.gif)
This one get a Wii instead, though Xbox can play it, but you are playing with fire

So, hope im not that crazy saying so, but im actually dont have that much $$$ for replacement for FAILURES, i just want it to last long.
I AM CRAZY gamer, i play games like nuts sometimes, like straight 8 hours playing in my PC.

I am not a CONSOLE fan, as im more on PC fan, tweaking, overclocking n etc. But staying up with the tech makes me loose $$$, cant be changing my GPU everytime a HARD CORE game releases which needs HIGH END. So, decided to take CONSOLE for longer stability. So, what u think?

NOTE: U CAN GIVE UR OPINION ON ALL ASPECTS + LINKS + COMMENTS + ADVICE is always welcome! Im open minded + i take all comments in.

PS3 Malaysia set, since xbox360 doesn't have local warranty...

Other features should be the same, both are superb console,
Major different should be their exclusive titles...

possibility to get YLOD again is high, cost to repair is around RM400, even some sellers here give 1 month warranty, I doubt that it can last long within a month..which give some signs before end up YLOD again, fan goes hyperdrive mode, sudden switch off, always freezing

if you sent to local shop that is

not sure if you sent to Sony, they might exchange with refurbished unit maybe

I would say PS3 is more well-designed in term of giving the machine a ventilation.

Also, another reason to choose PS3 is :

- free online
- no fear of getting banned online. X360 users who modded their consoles will have to live in fear of facing ban by Micro$oft. And Micro$oft like to ban people especially during Oct- nov time frame so that people have to shell out money for another console. If you are hardcore online gamer, i would say PS3 is a safer bet.

PS3
1) Prefer the game tiles better
2) no RROD
3) Free online
4) Best of all no need 2 get a separate blue ray player

The PS3 got 2 version rite, the FAT one and the SLIM one. I heard now all is SLIM, so, is the SLIM better or FAT better? SLIM seems like can OVERHEAT. Any comments on that?
