Sorry, but this is just hating....hell, I'm a guy with an Xbox 360 and a PC, and I still think this has no place here. The PS3 does have legitimate good games, it just needs a little more time to mature into a good console. Wait 'till MGS4 and LittleBigPlanet.....*drool*

I disagree.
Lets see, BluRay, won the format wars.
Killzone owns, not interested in Halo at all, played the first to completion, boring.
Ability to play my old PS2 games, able to download PS1 games.
I think PS3 has it for me, I like the Xbox, but it's not any better.
And the Wii is a short term fad, it's fun for a few games of Wii sports, but what good games does that have?---

The Blu-Ray player is outdated and can't take advantage of new features
Killzone sucked for PS2 I don't know which version you were playing
Wii isn't a fad, it's a gimmick.
PSX games are free via emulator and most are cheaper from stores
Overall I think PS2 is better due to being a lot cheaper, but then again it may be that PS2 has a lot of the games I enjoy so other peoples opinions may vary.

Okay, its simply a matter of time. The PS3 as a system is better than the 360, when you look at the hardware. I mean come on microsoft admitted this when they tried to buy rights to Blu-ray so they can include it in their future waves of 360's as well. For everyone who "hates" the PS3, their only argument is that "Xbox" has more exclusive games..... and this is true. but that does not define a better system. But Im not going to argue.... when i get the money I will buy myself a 360, since I got my PS3 as a gift.
But, to catch up in that department, here is what is going to give PS3 a HUGE boost
Metal Gear Solid 4 (killer)
LittleBigPlanet
Final Fantasy XIII (another killer)
God of War III
Lets just say you Xbox fans got lucky too, with GTA IV deciding to sell out, or that would have been another blow. Regardless, both systems are great, Xbox with more games, PS3 with higher power and Blu-ray. And PSN is fastly improving, catching up to the greatness of Xbox Live, and lets not forget, its still FREE!!!04.29.08 4:52 pm-

Live has full voice support, but Xbox does have better online, and their getting the new Tales RPG (big JRPG title). Over in Japan though PS3 dominates, lol. I'm waiting to buy a PS3 till the price drops and I have money and FFXIII is out. Personally I think the PS3's late release really damaged it in North America, if it had been at the same time I would own one simply due to the fact that I had a PS2 <.<

Are you kidding me? Do you know that Sony's lost their best exclusive rights already, and they'll probably lose more?
GTA was always a staple of the PS2 and PS1.
Resident Evil was originally going to be only for the PS3, but wham, they lost that too.
Those are some pretty big losses if you ask me.

I never played a PS3 but it looks liek a nice system. I do like the Wii & the Xbox360 which I have played. Each have thier own styles of play, games & even set up which is nice & what people look for.
I can't really say one is better then the other but once i get to play a PS3 maybe I can see whats the big deal. I did like the PS2 & PS1 on some levels & didn't like them on others. Same for many Nes systems other then the classic. But thats me.

Just having better hardware doesn't make it a better system, the original xbox had better hardware than a ps2, did that beat the ps2? No. It seems now the roles are reversed, where the ps3 has the better hardware but the 360 has all the games. The funny part is the only things really better is the cell processor (not even utilized yet and probably won't) and the bluray ( doesn't seem to effect gaming at all). While the 360 has a better GPU and ram modules. Also if we want to argue hardware, everyone should just shift to PC, since consoles hardware cannot touch it. The PS3 is not a bad system, the problem is the lack of current games, while there are some good games coming out in the future. There is no reason to buy a PS3 at this moment. In the mean time the PS3 is struggling while the Wii and 360 are flying of the shelves.---

I think it can have all the hardware in the world, and getting into a debate about performance aside, there's little difference in graphics between 360 and PS3 games. Sadly this is due mostly to the fact that most games are on both platforms, so they don't bother programming for the PS3's unique hardware, though MGS4 proved what the PS3 is capable of.---

Man I loved the PS2 and hated the original Xbox. Now I have a 360... I'm the complete opposite this generation. I even have more 360 games than Wii games and I'm a Nintendo kid through and through.
I've considered a PS3 a few times, but between the price, the constant retiring of systems to make new ones, the backwards compatibility hoo-ha, the fact you have to download gigabytes of information into the system for a good lot of the games and still deal with loading times, being completely apathetic about Metal Gear 4 and FF13, and not having a HD TV or giving a crap about Blu-Ray I... yeah. I really can't justify dropping 500 bucks for it.---

Actually seriously, I only own a Wii and 360, but I find the PS3 to be a bore. I guess I'm not into the whole hardware comparison thing, so I guess I purely base my preferences of game selection. And well I didn't even like PS2 that much, I prefered Xbox over it.

It's funny how you seem to forget not everyone has XboxLIVE.
For example, the Xbox doesn't practically live over here on the Balkans, and the PS3 is already the top selling next-gen console in this area, while the Wii is a rarity.
So, to me, the fact Xbox has an online community does absolutely nothing. Also, I somehow always have the impression that most Xbox games tend to base themselves on the online part - Halo just being the prime example. (Which I still don't get, I tried it and it seems very generic for an FPS...) The PS3 has games that interest me, so I'll buy it sometime in the future, but if that wasn't the case, I'd go for a Wii.
Other than that, both consoles are pretty much the same when it comes to sheer strength, maybe over time the PS3's processors will be put to good use, but hey, good graphics don't do much if there's no decent gameplay, right?---

1. If you know anything about the PS3, you would know that this video MUST have been produced before it's official release as SONY almsot immediatly dropped the multi-color availabilty of the PS3
2. If you have read the GameInformer magazine, you would see that the PS3, even it's price tag, is maturing at a faster rate than the 360 did. Also it is predicted to be the top console by 2010, it just needed time to get it;s roots in the ground.
3. The only reason that the 360 seemed better was because they releasedthe 360 a year before the PS3 did. WHich gave them time to stick their foot in the market. But what did that do? it caused them to have to hurry production and skip valuable testing time. What did that cause? it caused them to miss some thingslike the cause of RRoD which is now costing them millions of dollars... Yeah microsoft has always been the smartest of them all...
4. Blu-Ray disc is now 100% supported by some of the largest movie production companies and is putting HD-DVD completely out of business. The Blu-Ray format has pretty much won, meaning that if you spent 200$ on a player for HD-DVD, your are out about 150$...As Wal-Mart, BestBuy, and several other stores are offering money back deals for those who wish to get ridof their useless hardware.
5. The Playstation Network (PSN) is completely free and works about 10% less effectively than XBOX Live... And PSN is FREE!!! not no 15$ a month, that is rediculous and just plain greedy...

Thats exactly why in my mind the PS3 is a more economical and effective choice in the long run..but 360 fanboys don't care about statistics or facts..
If you tally up the total cost for a PS3 plus a year of online (which is ....free!) and compare it to the cost of a 360 plus a year of online which is ($50!) the 360 is the more expensive machine.
This was posted as a comment to the video..and although a bit off, it speaks the general truth.
Console: Ps3 $499. Xbox $299
HDD: (20GB)
S3 $0 Xbox $100
Video Drives: PS3 Blu-ray $0 XBox HD Drive $199
