The PS3 will have better specs, but the Xbox 360 will more than likely be more popular. I heard that it will be compatible with the newer, more popular Xbox games, like Halo 2 and Fable. Personally, i like the Xbox 360 better. Ive got one on Layaway/Preorder right now, that i still need to pay off despite my lack of money. I heard/saw on G4TV's coverage of E3, that the Xbox 360 controller will be wireless.
On a side note, whats with the literal opposite coloration of the Xboxes? Xbox is black and the Xbox 360 is white... To quote many people: "FTW?"

PS3 is compatible with PS2 and PS1 games whereas xbox 360 is only compatible with some older games.

PS3 - 1
360 - 0

Its probobly because, after only having a PSX, PS2 and PC for the longest time, you get to loathe Sony when your computer is taken/off/fried. When i first played on the Xbox, i played Ghost Recon. I loved it. The graphics werent what they are now, but i absolutely loved the change of controller and everything. Since the Xbox 360 is going to have better graphics capability than then Xbox, im putting my money on the Xbox 360 for a purchase.
Another possible reason, is the graphics. Like a said before, i used to only have the PSX, the PS2, and a PC. The PC had semi-decent Video Card(ATI Radeon 7000.), but overall, the graphics on all three werent to great.

This old gem again?

From what I understand the X360 is going to be a more flexible system for developers which means we can expect to see more games. And that’s what it comes down to, the games.

Sony has been known for their pack of lies (PS2 will have graphical capabilities of Toy Story. PS2's power blows Dreamcast out of the water. Blah, blah blah). I just can't believe some people still think the tech demos from the Sony E3 presentation were shown in real time.

I don't want to be seen with the Bananarang controller for the sake of my sexual orientation.

It's just a concept, it isn't final.

What are you talking about? The PS2 is more powerful (in almost all areas) then the Dreamcast was.

The PS2's power over the Dreamcast didn't live up to the hype Sony gave it. I never said the Dreamcast was more powerful.

O.K let us change the subject.
I would like to say what would I want from the PS3:
1. Ability to change function of every button to the way you want to.
2. Free on-line gaming
3. More First Person Shooters that allow mouse
4. Ability to open the DVD-rom either from the top (PS1) or from side (PS2) (I know this will not be implemented, but it would be cool)
5. Ability to browse web
6. Ability to play American as well as European DVD movies (not games)
I can't think of anything else right now

Most modern games allow you to do this anyway right?

2. Free on-line gaming

No Chance

3. More First Person Shooters that allow mouse

Likely but who knows?

4. Ability to open the DVD-rom either from the top (PS1) or from side (PS2) (I know this will not be implemented, but it would be cool)

Again, No chance

5. Ability to browse web

Why? Every man and his dog has the internet already.

6. Ability to play American as well as European DVD movies (not games)

This wouldn't really appeal to me as I don't watch many movies. I suppose it would benefit somewhat.

I can't think of anything else right now

Why is that? Because you're an xbox fanboy?

Hmm... I don't know? Maybe because he got so many disc read errors with his PS2 that he had to buy another.

But hey, it's just a guess.

Not exactly. Many games do not allow this. For example GTA does not allow this(not sure about San Andreas). On PC, at least 90% of games allow you to change controls to any way you want to

2. Free on-line gaming
Quote:

You sure? PS2 has free on-line gaming so why shouldn't PS3 have it free too?

3. More First Person Shooters that allow mouse
Quote:

I think that EVERY First Person Shooter (or third person) should allow the use of mouse. I just don't understand why GTA Vice City, Or Ghost Recon does not allow use of mouse (I have not tried these games with mouse, but they are not on list of games that allow mouse)

5. Ability to browse web
Quote:

I guess you are right, but it would still be cool. O.K never mind that

6. Ability to play american as well as European DVD movies (not games)
Quote:

Yeah it would be good. Through this point, I also wanted to say that I understand why they made it so that you can't play European PS games on American PS and vice versa, but I think that Europe and America should not use different DVDs for movies.

O.K I have few new points to add:
7. More RTS games! (you can almost count number of true RTS games for PS2 on both hands)

8. More games that would have ALL of this:
- AI (enemy/friendly)players/bots in multiplayer
- (at least)4 player split screen
- (at least 2 player)co-op with friendly bots included(this is rare right now).
VERY few games right now have all of these things.

9. Games that would allow the USB head set to be used instead of some buttons (ex.: In Need for Speed if you say "go" the car will start(you get the idea))

That is it for now.

I think your TV would have to support both NTSC and PAL video to be able to do that, unless of course the console can convert it for you Sarcasm


When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself,
First as a dark demon,
As a demon it uses its power to reign death upon the land;
and then it dies.

However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns.
This time as a great hero...

I think it would be better if the console could convert it. But this is not very important. One more thing, the TV does not have to support NTSC/PAL, only the DVD player. This point was put there just for fun, so I am not going to discuss it any more(there are more interesting points to discuss).
