hi senior gamers here....my dad recently bought a 46" led hdtv,the colours are fantastic...and i am wondering how if play ps3 games using that tv...must be fantastic...now my questions is whether to get ps3 or xbox.....i feel ps3 is better...what u guys think??
Hmm, previously we only give people one perception - modded and unmodded and majority of people will go for Xbox360 for obvious reason.
However, that kind of comparison sort of went to heck now, so I will give you some pointers that I feel is useful:
1) Graphic - People might disagree with this, but if really want to compare, PS3 win by a couple of blocks - Examples are: Final Fantasy XIII, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 1 and NBA Games. - PS3 win on this.
2) Games available - Both PS3 and Xbox360 have almost the same equal number of games available in the market. Whether it is good games or not, that is another question. Draw
3) Exclusive Games available -
Xbox360 got Gears series, Fable series, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Alan Wake, Blue Dragon, Forza Series, Halo Series, Kinect and Lost Odyssey etc
PS3 got Demon Souls, Gran Turismo 5, Heavy Rain, inFamous, Initial D, Killzone Series, Little Big Planet, Metal Gear Solid 4, Motorstorm Series, Rachet and Clank Series, Resistance Series, Uncharted Series and Yakuza Series.
Verdict: PS3 just edge through on the Exclusive Games, but Microsoft is getting there. Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid are major coups for Microsoft.
4) Console Reliability - Although that Jasper and new Xbox360 slim had been very reliable, the dreaded RROD still happens on a 30% rate, while PS3 got less than 20% failure rate. Still, PS3 repair is more expensive than Xbox360 repair.
5) Network games - Due to the number of famous games in PS1 and PS2, PSN is always more interesting than Xbox Live, though Xbox Live has more ingenuity / new games. Special mention had to be given to Wii Virtual Console, where a lot of us can relive our childhood / young days.
6) Multiplayer - (mostly applicable if using unmodded console), crisp and good for both, though I saw reviews that Xbox360 Multiplayer is more "common", hence more offerings.
There are of course other things to compare, like cost, future aspect etc etc. You can do all these comparision between you make decision

Anybody have other comparison factors to add?
