Think its been asked before (cant be arsed looking, to be honest....   )but what are the merits/demerits of Xbox360 versus PS3??

If looking for shoot-em-ups as the major gaming experience, whats the better??

both good systems  ps3 more powerfull more expensive and more reliable
360 prone to 3 red lights caused by over heating

both platforms have shootemup games avaliable

PS3 is a brilliant piece of kit.

Great games machine
Good media player
Very good BLu Ray player
Pretty good upscaling DVD player

BRs on our new TV are jaw droppingly briliant

There a few exclusive games, Little Big Planet, Gran Turismo series, Motorstorm series off hte top of my head

I have to say that I have been looking into consoles recently....

Of the two, the PS3 is better than the Xbox 360....the graphics are a different league!

Will probably end up with a Wii though for erindoors

Got Wii Got PS3

Wii is good for Mario Karts and Super Mario Galaxy

Everything else played is on PS3

[Kate]

Xbox 360 is good for the price!  It's a lot cheaper now isn't it?

[Markie]

Ive got all 3......well we have all 3 due to having a 12 year old  :-/.

Dont get much time to use them, I love the concept of the Wii but usually end up with the PS3 and Grand Turismo Prologue or Resistance Fall of Man...

xbox over ps3 anyday.

PS3 controllers are extremely poor, no rumble, which is very important first person shooters / drivers games. PS3 controllers hurts your hands after about 3 hours or so. xbox ones are much nice to use.

Graphics wise? There is nothing in it, they are much the same. PS3 is slightly more powerful.

Now before Mr MarkDTM goes all techy on me and Martin saying how much better the PS3 is WAIT.....

These games are developed, and then shipped on multiple mediums (PC/Xbox/PS3) there is no difference in the detail/graphics shipped on each medium, its the same data just burn on different discs in slighly different formats.

Yes the PS3 is slightly better and more powerful, but because xbox has the bigger market share, games are designed for xbox, and adopted for ps3 you have the same data on both, just a different disc!

Only PS3 unique games will be better graphics wise, of that the only decent one is GT5.

The ps3 is just not worth the extra money!

We also have a Wii but thats a different type of console.

Tunnie. You know your stuff

COD4 is one of the best games for the xbox, along with GTA 4.

Don't get my wrong the PS3 graphics are better, BUT only if they are developed ONLY for the PS3 like GT5

But the developer companies such as EA Games, unless sponsored by Sony will develop games for both consoles, having to cater for the less powerful xbox.

So there really is no need for the PS3, it was only useful as a blueray player really.
