    Like what one can do the most stuff?

    And also, can u use the wii control without like swinging it around and stuff? Like can u just sit there and use it like a normal control?

    We already have the xbox 360, so dont tell me to get that lol.

  • Another which is better question...

    Well the PS3 does more stuff but both are the consoles are good. For some Wii games you can sit down but not a lot. Get the Wii and I'm only saying this because you asked this in this category. I'm not a fanboy! I like all the systems.


  • xbox is pretty much on the same technological level as ps3, offering similar graphics, controls, games and online capabilities

    the wii on the other hand has quite rudimentary technology because it is designed to be cheap and fun. The graphics arent that good but the games are awesome because they are so interactive (Wiisports, wiifit...) - for traditional games its a similar range to the kind of games that were available on nintendo 64... this console is for casual gamers only but that doesnt mean its not worth getting


  • you are better off getting a ps3 because...

    - ps3 has a built-in blu-ray player

    -ps3 supports 1.3 HDMI which has rich colors and xbox supports 1.2 HDMI

    - ps3 has much more and better exclusives, most of them cant go to xbox 360 because it cant handle that many data(DVD- 8.5gb, blu-ray 50gb)

    - because of the blu-ray's huge space, ps3 will have WAY better graphics than 360

    - online is free for ps3 not like 360

    - ps3 will have over 300 games released by this spring

    - you can browse the internet on ps3, no such thing for xbox 360

    - when developers get used to the system, the graphics will be WAY better than 360. should take them a year to get used to it

    - developers stated that they will start using ps3 as the lead platform and port ps3 games to xbox

    - playstation home, its a virtual community where you can hang out with friends and customize your own apartment which xbox doesnt have(FREE)

    - ps3 is a true HD console. xbox 360 upscale games to 1080p and ps3 DISPLAY games up to 1080p

    - built in Wi-Fi

    - xbox 360: 33% hardware failure
    ps3: .2% hardware failure(see the decimal? less than 1%!)

    - ps3 has better back-comp except the 40gb

    - rumble returns in spring 2008

    - you can upgrade your harddrive without voiding warranties with any 2.5 HDD, which xbox cant because you have to buy a xbox HDD
    (they actually have the step by step on how to upgrade it on playstation.com)

    those are the ones that i know right off my mind but there are much more reason than this

    Now I want you to do me a favor, list all the reasons why xbox is better than ps3. I PROMISE you that nobody will get at least 5 reasons

    Prices as of today:
    160gb ps3 $499.99(comes out in november)
    ps3- 80gb: $499 with metal gear solid 4
    80gb: $399 ( this is the 80gb core pack)
    xbox 360(premium)- $299.99
    (elite)- $399.99
    if you want the accessories that ps3 comes with, that would add up to over 650 dollars, so that means ps3 is actually cheaper

    Let's compare PS3 and XBOX 360:

    1). A third of XBOX 360 (33%) are malfunctioning right from the start. PS3 return rate is only around 0.2%. Despite some people say, that new 360 has no breakdown issues - just visit Xbox section of Yahoo answers and see for yourself an amount of complaints.
    2). PS3 has 8 (7+1) kernels in Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 3.
    3). PS3 uses advanced tech called Blu-Ray, one disc can store up to 54 gb (in the future - up to 200 gb), Xbox 360 - regular dual layer DVD-9 (8.5GB). It's possible to get HD-DVD (max. - 30GB) for 360, but it'll cost you around 180$, in this case Xbox is going to be MUCH more expensive, than PS3.
    4). Calculations per sec - PS3 - 51-billion-dot-product-operati... per second
    Xbox 360 - 33.6-billion-dot-product-opera... per second
    5). PS3 has full media support - USBs, built-in 4 slots card reader (except 20GB and 40GB versions), ability to use printer and so on.
    Xbox 360 has USBs and only 2 memory slots.
    6). PS3 supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers
    Xbox 360 - up to 4 Controllers
    7). PS3 - wi-fi included (except 20 gb version)
    Xbox 360 - wi-fi will cost you around 100 $
    8). Graphics are stronger in PS3, due to RSX chip, that was developed by Nvidia exclusively for PS3. RSX runs on 550 Mhz. It's difficult to compare their graphics chips, because 360 has a video chip with totally different structure and operating memory is divided differently in both consoles. However, PS3 exclusives look better than 360's exclusives.
    9). PS3 uses technology from AGEIA company. It does to physics of the game same thing GPU (videocard processor) does to graphics. This thing is on sale for PC(special card). The price is around 350$. There is no such thing in 360.
    10). Xbox 360 is widely known for so-called "red ring of death" problem - it gets overheated easily. My PS3 was running for more than 15 hours non-stop with no problems. Sometimes Xbox 360 becomes so overheated, that thermopaste on CPU melts, drips on motherboard and successfully shortcircuits it. That's why in some countries people call Xbox 360 "Coffin 360".
    11). Besides all of this, I've seen disassembled Xbox 360 - regular PC architecture - Billy Gates is an uninventive nerd (as usual).
    When I saw disassembled PS3 - it was a surprise - smart architecture, good cooling (don't buy external PS3 coolers - they make everything worse - original system is good), etc.
    12). In 2008 PS3 will get more than 300 games, including Metal Gear Solid 4, The Agent and other great exclusives. Here is the good link to the future PS3 releases. http://ps3.ign.com/index/release.html......
    13). PS3 online is free, Xbox 360 - you have to pay.
    14). There were reports, that 360 scratches discs. No reports on that in PS3.
    15). The funniest thing, that right now there are no games for PS3, that show full potential of the console. Biggest games weigh only 25 GB (Xbox 360 will need more than 3 discs even for those).
    16). On PS3 you can install other OS, such as Linux Yellow Dog, Ubuntu and others. Sony officially lets you do it. There is no such thing in 360.
    17). PS3 HDD can be replaced easily with any 2.5" SATA 5400 RPM HDD (used in laptops). 250 GB will cost you around 170$. In 360 you have to buy exclusive HDD, where 20GB will cost you 100$.
    18).Sony expects PS3 to stay on the market for, at least, 7-10 years. Also Sony reduces price now. There is a cheaper 80GB version of PS3.
    19).Sony constantly upgrades PS3 software (free updates for OS) - you get new functions and improvements.
    20). PS3 controller (sixaxis) has a motion control - you move controller - game responds. Wii has it, Xbox 360 - doesn't. PS3 is getting rumble controller (Dualshock 3) in 1st quarter 2008, Japan already has it. On www.ebay.com I saw those controllers on sale 50$ and up (unofficial import)
    21).On PS3 you can help sick people by running Folding Home project. Wii and Xbox 360 didn't even think about it.
    22).New 80GB is 399$ or 399 euro (depends on the region) - it has no backwards compatibility with PS2 games, has 2 USBs instead of 4, no built-in card reader, but it's the same PS3, strong, reliable, less noisy, different cooling system. The price is friendly. And one more thing the ps3 is way nicer!!!!


  • In the next few months the WII HD (high defintion) will be coming out so wait a bit


  • The PS3 definitely does more and has better graphics but if you are looking for family entertainment then a wii would be better, although most of the wii games do require swinging the remote about not just standing/sitting still and using the wii remote as a normal controller.


  • get the Wii because the Ps3 and x box are almost the same exsept for exclusive games, get smash bros. brawl, or Metriod prime 3, Mario Kart, Galaxy, RE4, no more heroes, Metal Slug, points card, third party classic control, gamecube control or anything from Nintendo most good third party. but some third party games and ports are such crap. so beware do research on games before buy those. yes there are games that don't use it. but you do not have to swing all over the place. people over react. only sports types of game with force detection will have to. some fighters to but you can just use a Game Cube control thankfully.
    the best games for the wii-mote are FPS games. some others too. there are a lot of cool wii games coming soon so do more research.


  • The PS3 has a blu-ray player, so it's a pretty good buy, but rather expensive. It has a lot of shooters, so if your bf likes those, he may want a PS3. It also has a game called Little Big Planet that he could spend hours playing and you could even join him =]

    The Wii is cool too =] It has a lot of games that you could just pick up and starting playing within minutes. It has Zelda, Mario, and Metroid, so if he likes those, get the Wii. Most of the games require you to at least move you hands more than you would a regular game, but nothing too crazy. It's also much cheaper, so if price is an object, the Wii is for him =]
