the ps3 is the best console of this gen people with xbox 360 just dont want to admit that a better console is out yes 360 might have better games at the moment but its been out a year longer than ps3 the cell engine wich powers ps3 is the most powerfull chip in the world so far it has blu ray so thats twice as much disk memory for ps3 cause blu ray is 50 gig disk 360 disk hold just 9 gig i own both ps3 and 360 i love them both but people just call ps3 and say 360 is better look it up whats inside the systems u will see p.s once the cell has been unlocked and the power of ps3 relly comes out we will see who the winner is thanks for reading

I wish I had a PS3, I really want to play the fnal chapter of the Metal Gear Series.

The PS3 is a let down, not only with it's lack of decent gaming titles, but the multi platform titles that are out there look better on the 360, I own both and have run them parallel on the same setup and the 360 knocks spots of the PS3, I only got one for the exclusive titles.

GAME Thinks XBOX360 is better.
Console of the year award.

I love the Ps3, great exclusive games coming out, the graphics are amazing, the failure rate is like 0.3% and the Ps3 works out cheaper then the Xbox 360 once you consider Ps3 has free online, free wireless controller and a Blu-Ray dvd built in.

The Xbox 360 has RROD, 30%+ failure rate, no decent future exclusives except Gears of War 2, (which is rumoured might not remain exclusive to 360), Xbox live costs like £30+, Wireless controllers have to be purchased, it does not even include a dvd player, HD-DVD is dead, poor customer service and hilarious methods made up by Xbox 360 Fan-Boy's like the Towel Trick to get there Consoles to work again.

Ps3 is a must have and i would recommend it to anyone that wants an amazing Gaming/Dvd experience. 10/10

The ps3 is a very good console. A good features is PSN. PlayStation Network is an online shop, where you can download free demos of games, and buy games made espiecally for PSN. I also playing online, becuase you can chat to the people you meet using the messaging feature. It has a lrg libary of games, and can have up to 8 players playing on 1 console. it may be costly compared to an Xbox, but if you bought an xbox and the accsesories a ps3 comes free with (internet browser, Media player, PSN) the xbox would actually cost more. A great console, better than xbox, and would be a great combination if you have a wii to. 4.5/5

i have a 60GB ps3 since it was released and i have to say i have recently considered with some thought trading it in for something else like a wii or x box elite dont get me wrong everything you want in a next gen console is here but the waiting times for the best games to come out is daft i mean like res 5 which is out next year gran turismo 5 no mention at all grand theft auto 4 is finally here but once the hypes eventually faded how long to the next big one you tell me every game thats going to be a smash hit on ps3 either a years wait or a flop waiting to happen demos from mags make games look great but the amount of bad reviews it gets from customers sums up we've waited for this. People want to entertained is this the console. no gamers now complete games after a few hours, a day or week, then put a side unless its got a great multiplayer mode. ask yourself this worth 50 quid a game,
blu ray costly and finally i seen over 200 cueing for wiis at christmas how many for ps3, 15
