First here is nice nice ten reasons to buy a 360:

10. First-Party Exclusive Games
9. Wireless Controllers
8. The Xbox 360 Launch Lineup
7. Backward Compatibility
6. Xbox Live Arcade
5. Impressive Graphic Power at Good Prices
4. Multimedia Hub
3. Xbox Live Marketplace
2. GamerCards
1. The Next Generation Now
1. There First Party Games aren't that great.
2. What console ISNT going to have wireless controllers
3. The Xbox 360 launch titles offer prettier, more realistic graphics, but don't really play fundamentally different from current generation projects
4. If by Backwards compatible you mean 40% of games then yes
5. The Acrade is pretty cool
6. Not really a BIG difference in graphics although there is some (Nothing worth 400 bucks tho).
7. I'm sure there is a less expensive media hub at my local wal-mart.
8. Nothing to say about the market place.
9. Even if i had an xbox 360 i wouldnt get a "gamer card".
10. It's just a xbox with some enhanced graphics and a new look...nothing really THAT new about it.

yeah on the same analog tv you wont see much of a difference, and a gamer card is not an actual card its an on screen rank, zone, avatar, gamerscore thing.

things i dont like about the 360
. no built in wi-fi
. poor media capabilities, especially compaired to XBMC
. "perfect circle" disc damaging
. PDZ was not as good as i thought

* but all things concidered i like the 360, mainly because of xbox live, NFS most wanted, and call of duity

if any one wants a gmail invite i got like 50
i support xbox 360

Those ten reasons wernt that great I must admit but niether is the PS3's.

Dont argue about the games becuase there are some very good games coming to the 360 have you checked? Oh no of course not you a PS3 fanboy.

Ps3 will be good, cant wait till CES. Just more pushed towards 360 at the moment becuase of xbox live and the good games coming to the system.

and have you not seen the countless good games coming to ps3? i gave the link before to the list of them all.

and call of duty was released on the ps2, what makes you think it wont come out on ps3 someday?

But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of very simple things. You forget, because youre so busy going from a to z, that theres 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out...

Correction I have seen all the games that Sony have shown so far and you have not seen the counteless games coming to the 360 becuase your a fanboy.

That is why i am undesided on what console to get just now becuase Sony havent showed everthing but you have already made your mind up regardless of what Sony have or havent shown.

You know, I remember something like this way back when the PS2 was being released, it was head to head with the XBox at the time. (obviously the blurb was different)

there are alot, they were what, 2 years apart?. its like xbox was its own generation of console.

I was arguing about the games that went with the launch not the games that have yet to show.

so from observation of launch games you will sugest 360 is rubbish, well done.

From what I wittness I dont judge a console on its launch games, esspesialy when most are imports so the 360 had game at launch.

I personly thought it was the best launch line up I have seen so far. With the Megadrive all I had was Altered Beast, with the PS1 all I had was Total Eclipse and with PS2 all I had was Fantavision.

If I was to get 360 I would have an awsome game of Perfect Dark Zero, Kameo, PGR3, Call of Duty 2 etc.

Next time if you do mean thier line up say it.

so so sorry about the all caps, is this better?? now all this talk about launch games is lame.. if halo wouldnt have been a launch title would the xbox be junk?? not even close. if you want a reason not to buy a 360 it would be the crashing prob that M.S. is known for. but ill buy one anyway, when i find one!!!
almost forgot about the lack of needed disc space for 360 games.multi disc games r a pain, and if M.S. changes the system or has an expensive add on such as an external HD-DVD drive i might get alittle ticked.

Disc changing isnt a big deal but if Microsoft releas a HD-DVD drive then there better be some compensation for those with the DVD9 drive otherwise I can see people getting peed off.

Talking about launch games is stupid but these PS3 fanboys seem to run thin on negatives with the 360 agianst PS3 so they bring stupid things like launch games up.

i so agree with u zelda with flamin everything that you have said, you are the most UNBIASED person ive ever seen on a forum, and that is deserving of much respect.
biased = bad. it blinds you and submerges you into total denial if you hear something that is very bad and true about what u *LOVE*. aka. u PS3 fanboys.
i like BOTH xbox 360 and PS3 (xbox 360-60%, PS3-40%), currently ive got a 360 core package, no premium's till march (sh*t!!). AND my core package was the second to last!! (proper lucky). if i missed that i would have been waiting for ages, <phew>.

its ace, how can any of you non-experienced PS3 fanboys (who havnt played on a 360) who dont know sh*t about tech either, argue bad + biased points with have no sway over people whatsoever??

WICKY WOOOOOO - dont ban me, lol


Don't judge the consoles by specs, more isnt always better, espec in PS3 specs.i know the truth, ask if u wanna know.......

Do not compete without valid correct technicality on your terms of the argument.

yeah i have to agree with that aswell, but kookoo can be also very unbiased except for when he starts getting really frustrated by me, lol

this is one of the most unbiased articles i have read on xbox 360 vs ps3

I think we have all good views and Kookoo is unbiased just like truthman, fazyninja and chimpanel.

Its just the occasional fanboy that comes up with stupid things.

im not playstation fan boy...anything that has a good game to play is alright with me. im just saying that when it comes down to xbox360 vs ps3 vs revolution the xbox 360 is the most uninnovative. Ps3 = Blue Ray drive, HD capabilities. Revolution = New Way of playing games and ability of playing 20 years of games on one system. Xbox360 = HD capabilities that arent as good as ps3. Personally I'd rather have a new way of playing a game over an updated look/graphics.

i myself am not a fan boy. more of a fan, like you for the 360. some things have pushed me towards one, such as you. people see certain priorities in some areas, and some people in others. most of this is a matter of prefured opinion.

But they all do sort of the same thing, and that is rearrange what you thought was real, and they remind you of the beauty of very simple things. You forget, because youre so busy going from a to z, that theres 24 letters in between... You turn on... tune in... and you drop out...

well i think that xbox was already so advanced that it could not really get that much better than in graphics and some aspecs of games like ff.

the xbox 360 has improved the xbox live service they have a much better controller and the game linup for 2006 is for me unbeatable, even if i was a fan boy for sony i would still find it hard to turn my back on it and considering that the ps3 2006 lineup looks nothing compared to the xbox 360 one. also the ps3 only has the diff of a blu ray but they still have the same games (MGS4)

totally agree with you there fazyninja. Thats what makes me laugh at the people who are all about graphics because i know the next console launches 6 or 7 years from now will be it in graphics..things will start to look the same graphic wise because there is nothing to improve after that which is why i look for the innovative technologies like nintendo's new controller that offer new ways of playing the games.
