Fanboy is a term used to describe someone who is utterly devoted to a single subject. This generally is followed by the devotion and support even when proved wrong.

Anecdotal, by my definition, it's the way too many people here think. It's also all the evidence you have.

Xbox 360 GT: NEGATIVE 273K

My advice: Wait for PS3.

So Reasons? are you not just a PS3 fanboy then?! Me, I just love good games whatever platform they are on. If anyone wants to read those links....be prepared they are booooring! Unless of course you find this stuff interesting like I do. When can we see some in game PS3 footage rather than all this pre-rendered junk they keep spewing out.

My rig: Intel Q9650 3.0Ghz, ATI Radeon 4870 X2 2048Mb, 6Mb DDR2 6400 RAM, Asus Rampage Formula X48 Motherboard.

I like xbox 360 more because it suits me better and the games are perfect for my tastes. I do admit though that Ps3 does seem more power but Im still sticking with xbox 360.

Peace out!

There is one reason why the PS3 is better or this one feature is better...Playing online, i think it will probably be free, unlike the x360 you need to pay for xbox live.

ps3 is better
ps3 Processor = 3.2GHz Cell w/ 7 SPEs
2.0 TFLOPS

x-box 360 processor = 3.2GHz G5 w/ 3 Cores
1.0 TFLOPS

the only thing bad i can see about ps3 is that i think its bigger console than xbox 360

As long as you can see, admit, whatever you have to do, that the PS3 is the stronger hardware. As for the other reasons you like Xbox, go for it, that's good. Your only a fanboy when you argue a point that can/has been proved wrong.

I prefer the PS3 because of it's power. Not only that, but I can't wait to experiment with programming on the Cell and RSX using the linux that Kutaragi promised.

It'll be a whole new open source OS world, with millions eagerly contributing and collaborating on amazing apps Microsoft will never have on the 360, unless they make them just the way they want and then you pay for them and can't change them.

The 360 is going to be locked up, the OS, the hardware, everything. I go with SOny because they are going open source. MS will kill the expandability of their system. Come on, Apple inspired hardware, and a windows OS. Windows and OSX are locked up, and Apple's hardware has always been the same. Steve Jobs won't even let you put windows on MAC hardware.

Open source will send the usability and features of an amazing machine through the roof. It'll have everything Linux has now, and more because of all the people who are more willing to help out on a project this big. Everything windows has will probally be illegally ported to it in no time. I can't wait to use Itunes on my PS3, LOL.

Fanboy is a term used to describe someone who is utterly devoted to a single subject. This generally is followed by the devotion and support even when proved wrong.

Anecdotal, by my definition, it's the way too many people here think. It's also all the evidence you have.

When you look at all the technical stuff like memory, processor, and stuff like that it looks more like a computer because... well it is. So when you look at it your getting the best high-end gaming computer that would normally cost $1500-2000 to something like $300 for the 360 and $500 for the PS3 so my point is whatever the price is I'd say its a good deal. Screw PC games the consoles are gonna kick some ass. Pardon my language.

$60 a year for xbox live doesn't sound so bad you get to download all sorts of great stuff and demos plus big games like halo and quake are gonna have sponsored gaming tournaments with cash prizes and if your not the greatest at shooters (like me) you can always watch for a good time so...not bad.

Are you the type who will only play a video game online only on the weekend? Most of should plan on paying for gold. Who knows though, Sony could charge, and just isn't saying anything.

These systems are costing them money to sell, but they make it back fast and by the billions with the games.

There might be a problem with the PS3 that the PS2 (all vrsions had except v7)...its the laser...who knows sony might make their own laser and f*** everything up...they should work with like samsung or something so samsung will make a drive for them.

That was very irrelevant, only time will tell. So much is at stake it's unlikely.

$200 huh thats pretty good but i'm still getting the 360 because I haven't seen any gameplay footage on the revolution and the 360 is gonna have better games. I don't want to make a mistake like I did with the gamecube... that was a waste of $200.

Hi,

just a quesion, dunno if its already asked but ahh well.
well about the dvd formats, Sony usses blue-ray Xbox usses hdd ore some thing.
so if im corect sony can store up 2 max 54 gig
and xobx about max 32 gig (http://www.hardware.info/artikelen.php?id=104)

but if im corect xbox wil use HD DVD-R and that can store 15 gig
so sony hase the upperhand, now my question. doesnt the lagg of less storage on the HD DVD-R causes less quality for the games like smaller maps, the game graphics ect ??
ore will sony use a 23 gig blue-ray dvd.
if the are going to use a 50 gig disc its going to be so freaking expensive.

thx and greats
Gp,
bee-Z-bee

The Xbox 360 will use a 12x optical DVD-9 drive. Not HD-DVD. The capacity of the Xbox 360 will be limited to 8.5-9GB per disc.

Sony will use a BD drive, 25GB per layer. Because BD disc do not incorporate a glass layer like DVD disc, the manufacturing costs actually end up about the same. What they will charge will probally be in the 1000% profit margin however, just like how we are getting raped paying $4 for a dual layer DVD, that is extortion to anyone who knows better. I'd feel sick paying more than $1.50 for one. They will do the same to us with HD-DVD and BD-R however.

Hold on let me reiterate, Xbox 360 WILL NOT USE HD-DVD. As for the latest spec sheet.
