BASICALLY THIS IS TYPICAL ANSWER:
(bare in mind, this is not considering the piracy factor..please vote for original..)

PS3 FAN will say:
1-xbox got 3ROD (but in here there's on person name tech2 that can cure the 3ROD-3 Red Rings of DEath)
2-xbox have to pay for online gaming (but the crowd is better as xbox establish earlier before..but ps3 also nowadays not bad as well)
3-We got Blueray and it's the Cheapest solution for blueray in the market! (if u make a home theathre of the ps3, u might take this as a factor)

XBOX FAN will say:
1-PS3 games is expensive! (the game price is around RM100-RM220) - new release games mostly RM170 n above
2-PS3 is heavier! (ps3 is around 5kg..!)
3-PS3 got lens problem! (but the statistics shown is a rare case..mean not so much happen as 3ROD)


I just list the major factor people will say..but act it depend on you.
For me i love ps3 games and i need blueray~ then i buy a ps3...

Thinking of one thing, u want to buy for your nephew.. If he can really take care about console very well then my suggestion go for xbox360!
if can't really take care well..then go for ps3~ owh..btw, how old is ur nephew?

U can also research by go web search..the console wars has begun since the released~ hope this might help you~

I'm none a PS3 fanboy...for me both machine are greats~ u r the buyers, u have the choice..u have the money..take it!

Not again.....
Both console got their pro's and con's(Suggest u go check the Xbox and Sony section), since this is not for u one, just throw a coin to decide which console to get lah.

Thanks for the info nakata..I have searched in the web and i am a bit puzzled. Well for me I am not sure which one to choose as my nephew likes the both. My nephew is about 10 years old. So is there possible for me to get to know the cheapest price I can get for Xbox360 and PS3. I have to ensure that can both consoles use pirated dvd game as myself prefer for ori games but am not sure on my nephew and his father.

There wont be pirated games for PS3 games... for now i think... maybe for atleast 2 or 3 more years.

The mkt price for PS3 now is 1200+, but with the games cost around 150 - 200 per piece.

xbox need to depend which version that u want to get since it's come with many various packages.
The cheapest now is 1200+ but it able to play pirated games since they're mostly modded in the market.

then go for xbox 360~ but have to say to ur nephew..dunt play for all day long..if not kabooom~

easily get 3ROD..

go to xbox360 since ur nephew more towards pirated games...cause PS3 only can play genuine games.

buy x box360 1 game rm10 lol keng ....not nice play can buang from 10 floor down np

who says 3ROD is curable.. mine got hit hard! cannot revive

if you want to consider about getting a console which can play modded games.. then hands down xbox 360.

if we compare original to original. PS3 beat x360 in the sense:
- ps3 now officially launched here and covered by sony local warranty
- ps3 has blue ray player
- ps3 has a very solid hardware design, its quiet and can let u play a few days non stop
- ps3 has very promising exclusive games.. little big planet, resistance 2, killzone 2, ff13 versus, god of war 3.
- ps3 network is FREE
- built in WIFI, Internet Browser, Music/Video Player

the console is abit pricey (you only pay one time and it will rarely give u any issues at all) and yes the game is a bit pricey.. but compared to xbox original games.. its just RM 20 - 50 more considering the discs are in blue ray. Just choose the games carefully.

if you do not want to support the great satan, BILL GATES, then support SONY and buy a PS3 on September 20.

3rod is not curable..yeah its true..after that buy new console ,then 3rod...buy again then 3rod..this console are blood / money sucker

again? in 1 day gap? arghhhh....

Childish saids :" Xbox360 not good, got too many FPS, always got 3rod... play 1 days got 3rod ad..... new one also got 3rod, PS3 good, dun have hardware problem, got many RPG game now, FPS and ACT also better than XBox360 one, Racing game Sony GT is the best one, no need play other racing game after play this game. "

yeah..i wonder who the child is..lol

Anyone???? Who wanna match it???

Perhaps another thing to consider is that most of the games in these two consoles are mainly for more mature gamers...... would it be appropriate for your 10 year old nephew (contents like gore, swearing etc)? would it be potentially fun for him or would some of the game be too complex and he'll just give it up?

Also, these are expensive and fragile machines, so if you're getting it for your nephew, make sure he really treats it well...... these machines aren't just game machines anymore, both of them can do a lot more like playing videos/music, chatting, web surfing, its essentially like a PC.....

I've also heard that modded Xbox360s will potentially have their Xbox live account banned if the Microsoft network detects it.......

i do think Nintendo Wii the best for his nephew...or PS2
