Well everyone I'm hear to let everyone know of my take on the biggest gaming question of the past few years, the present, and the future.... Playstation 3 or Xbox 360! I have played PS3 for over a year and when it broke recently I went out and bought a 360. Here is my take on the two.
Sony Playstation 3
It has great controller! The controller is wireless, motion sensored, rechargeable battery, the analog sticks never wore out on me, and it fits MOST hands comfortably. Sleek look FREE ONLINE, but with free online comes terrible lag on most multiplayer games. PSN is great, movies, game videos, TV shows, game demos, game add- ons, and much more. The XMB is mediocre and not easy to navigate. Friends are easy to view for the most part. HOME is okay, nothing special. The PS3 has many other options such as adding another OS such as Linux. And of course last but not least... BLU RAY!
In the end the PS3 is a great system, has many functions, and it comes with a built in BLU RAY player. ] Microsoft XBOX 360
GREAT ONLINE SUPPORT XBOX LIVE is $50 a year for a great online experience which includes Netflix, 1 v 100, Last .fm, Twitter, Facebook, and little lag in multiplayer games. XMB is great easy to access and has a lot of information about XBOX 1v 100 is a really cool free game. (Wish PS3 had something like it) Controller is bulky and the analogs wear out quickly. The 360 doesn't give you as many options as the PS3. No Blu Ray. Not the best looking hardware, but it has it's own look.
In the end the 360 is another great system, great online support, and many features within it self.
So here is my verdict....
If your a casual gamer who likes online, but will only play a few hours a week the PS3 is for you. If your looking for a Blu Ray = PS3 Like gaming, appreciate a good games with good graphics, like RPG games = PS3 If your a hardcore online gamer = 360 Want to play online with people all over the world = 360 If you want great support from developers = 360
In summary both systems are great systems, the system for you all depends on the type of gamer you are, how much you game, and the extra features you would like. If I could only have one I think I would have to with the XBOX 360. I play a lot of online multiplayer and like the extra features you get with the 360. But I miss my working PS3 a few of my friends have it and I made a lot of friends while playing it. Hope this helped some people out. Or was an interesting read. Sorry if this is all just repeated things to you. Happy Gaming!

Ohhh goooddddd.... Not another fanboy wars...
Not to flame, but the systems are what they are, they both have their own pros-cons which make them equal. OkaY? ( I don't want a fanboy fight, sorry if it sounds like I'm flaming!)

OH MY GOD.ANOTHER ONE??Da%& it.You guys never give up.The systems are both equally good.I have a PS3 but I also rather like the Xbox360.I made an exact video of this because of you guys.Some say they love the Ps3 and rather have the Ps3 because they have a ps3,not an xbox360.Some love the Xbox360 because they have it.Microsoft and Sony are both awesome company,each has a thumbs up.But you guys,come on!!Stop the console wars.Sorry for being rude but I just hate people who start console wars.

Well, I'm gonna get my flame on.
The PS3 are suckzorz. Teh ecksbawks is ossim.
Right, now down to the actual comparison through my eyes. Yes, I probably am a biased poster, due to the fact I don't own a PS3, and I haven't played one long enough to get a decent opinion on the overall console. Regardless, here we go:
The Playstation 3 is an amazing console. Regardless of whether you own an Xbox 360, or a Wii, you have to admit, Sony's machine is extremely impressive. The PS3 has an extremely good library of games that I'd like to play, and the console itself feels extremely well built. I can't see a single thing wrong with the console on the whole. I don't know much about the online side to things, owing to the fact I spent about 15 minutes playing Call of Duty 4 on the console. Some people say it is a good service, and some say it is poor. I will take the cowards way out of this one and say I think I don't know.
The Xbox 360 is also a superb console. I prefer the controller for the Xbox 360, due to the more 'ergonomic' shape, though the PS3 controller is a very good device. Some of the updates Microsoft have added are superb, and welcome IMO, but some are not. I don't like the New Xbox Dashboard, but I love Facebook, Last.FM and Twitter on the console. The games library is equally matched, I think. PS3 has some games I want, and the 360 does too. Online, I'd say the 360 narrowly edges in front, due to the Zune Marketplace and stuff. I don't know if the PS3 has similar features or not, so I can't really make a fair opinion. So, with that fact in the way, I say the 360 is slightly better, but we don't know what 2010 will bring.

As long as this thread is kept mature and responsible will it stay open. If there's any kind of heated argument that takes place, the thread will be locked.
If you have a disagreement with what someone says, then try to address it in a calm and collected manner. If you can not do that, then discuss it with the person in a PM.
I don't mean to be all bossy like this but I'd rather not see a full on console flame war here.

Xbox is better hands down. Ps3 has no really good games. And if it does have a good game xbox has it and xbox makes the game look so much better. We should just lock this now cause we all know xbox is the more elite system out of the two

i own both, and personally, overall, probably ps3 better, cause it costs less (due to xbox live-$50 a year) it breaks down a LOT less, and it has blu-ray. I however play on xbox because all my friends are on it, and i like the controller better

I personally think this is an interesting topic. i used to have a PS2 and it took my friends a while to convince me to get an Xbox 360 and ive never looked back. im not playing down the PS3, Sony are a fantastic company and although ive never played the PS3 im sure it is an awesome console. i personally would only stick to Xbox 360 now as i have many friends online who i play with. i would like to try the PS3 but i dont really think it is worth it. Again this is not me playing down the PS3. your reviews of both consoles were good cbranger, and thanks for the info on the PS3.

Hmmmm I am going with the Ps3.Not because I have it but only because of the features.Blu-Ray,better quality,and different types of games Xbox360 does not have like God Of War,Rachet and Clank,Little Big Planet,etc,etc..The price of Xbox Live is awful.20 or 50 dolars a month.I fuc%&/( blow my head off.

I swear you all, Why does "Free" have to translate to "Bad"
All this talk of lag on PSN is utter BS.

I've got a PS3 because I prefer them. I've been a PS gamer since the first console game out and I ain't gonna stop now. I hate Microsoft as a company as well with their lengths to grab money off you at every available opportunity. Apart from PS3 been the better console Sony give much better service, my brother's PS3 got yellow lighted and the console was out of warranty but Sony still gave him a new one. You certainly don't get that with Xbox's ring of death....

360 does seem to take gaming a little to seriously as well. I'm not a fan of their own titles for that reason. Gaming is how it sounds, gaming. That's why I hate all these pretentious 360 fans who claim they are for 'real gamers.'

I'm a sole PS3 owner, played Xbox a few times and liked it but My two pence worth;
When PS3 launched Xbox had the major advantage, price, backcataloge and support.
Currently I think they are pretty much matched - you either want an entertainment system that is pay once and go (PS3) or you want a gaming only system with ongoing costs. Games are pretty much equal, both have awesome exclusives, graphically pretty much the same (most games have been developed on xbox so slightly better but I think this is changing).
Future? I think PS3 is going to storm away, MS have a bad rep for the poor quality of the system, Developers are starting to use the PS3 better as they are used to it, the PS3 has much greater potential for develop because of the better hardware content. Now the price on the PS3 has come down you get a reliable bluray playing machine at a reasonable value.
Mainly I think it comes down to personal choice though, what you are used to and what all your mates play. Mine all have PS3 and that's what I got.
One question i would ask is, how many PS3's have you owned? I have only had 1 and so have all my mates. How many Xboxs have you owned (including all the sent away and rebuilt)? None of my mates with Xboxs have still got the original, think of all that time and pain away from the gaming or having to buy a new one? Reliability alone is reason enough for me.

Clever stuff but it's not an original idea at all. Sony have been developing software like this for years, even with basic things like the Eyetoy. As far back as the Dreamcast had a very similar thing with Seaman (pun intended), a fish that you could talk to through a microphone and he would respond. Once again this is probably just Microsoft making something look bigger than it is, remember the whole voice recognition fiasco? It's probably the same and they are just selectively editing what they want you to see.

Well, I have had one PS3 and looking to buy my friends for $160. Have had one Xbox for a few months now. No problems

Maybe it is scripted.Just another lame idea made by Microsoft to gain some money by making it look like a freaking king.It's very clever but is not worth it.
Question-If I tell Milo to drown himself in a freaking toilet and then screaming:I am licking a cereal box. WOULD HE DO IT? Guess not...

Good point, probably is scripted. At the end of the day as well what is the point in this? Why would you want to buy this? Would you want to stand around talking to a computer? Chances are the novelty would wear off in a few days.

My issue with Natal is how we could possible play most types of game without a remote. I fear defeating the undead thrid reich wouldn't be easy with out one.
I might well have to don my cowboy hat and leather duster, before riding off into sunset with a shotgun in grip.
Seriously though shooting without a trigger.

Computer games seem to becoming less and less about games, I mean look at the Wii for example; it has some vaguely good fun games and the rest seem to be about physical fitness or cooking and such. It seems as if Microsoft is going down the route as well when to me it doesn't even seem necessary. I'm guessing all this interactive crap will be like when 3D graphics first came around, it will be a novelty at first but in 10 years time will realise back then it really wasn't that great. This sort of thing takes a looong time to perfect and to be honest, I don't really care.

Yeah, it's cool, but so extremely pointless. Out of all my Xbox friends, 99.9% of them would feel retarded talking to that...... and yeah ,the ps3 does have it's own thing coming out , I tihnk the new rumor has it that it's called the Arc. I'll find a video
