yep my bad ...
ill rephrase myself
what my esteemed friend would ,in your views ,be the advantages of PS3 over the 360
BTW aphro...where did Sickizblank list the positives of PS3, he just made a baseless statement .....
If you really want an answer to that, then let me answer that. I have an XBOX 360 Elite as well as a PS3.
In my opinion PS3 has a far better single player gaming experiences than XBOX 360. XBOX 360 has a large game library, but there are very few quality exclusives and most of the good games are multi-platform which I would rather play on my gaming PC. PS3 has very good quality exclusives and are not made available for any other platform even after a while.
Coming to graphics, I find both XBOX 360 and PS3 pale in comparison to to a high end PC, but if we just compare PS3 and XBOX 360, XBOX 360 has equal or slightly better/inferior graphics than PS3 only in games which are multi-platform. This is because most developers spend more time on optimizing the games for PC and XBOX 360 which have similar development platforms and then just make the game run on PS3 with minimal tweaks. But PS3 beats XBOX 360 graphics hands down when it comes to exclusives where the developer has put enough efforts to optimize the game for the PS3. Even the most popular XBOX 360 exclusives like Halo 3 are a blurry mess as far as graphics are concerned. To add more, there are hardly any really good exclusives coming for XBOX 360 these days. The last time I used by XBOX 360 was for Ninja Gaiden 2 almost an year back. However I still find myself using my PS3 quite often.
As far as hardware is concerned, PS3 has WiFi, A blue-ray drive and blue tooth wireless controllers with built in batteries even in the most basic models. You will spend more than a PS3 to get the same in the XBOX 360. The WiFi adapter alone costs a bomb. You have to pay extra to get chargeable battery, never mind the blue ray drive.
Online support wise, Live is better than PSN, but you have to pay for those better features. For a guy like me who plays online very rarely, a free service makes more sense.
As for problems, both consoles are affected, but the chance of an XBOX360 getting an RROD is a lot more than the PS3 getting the SOD.
