PS3 Vs Xbox 360 Part 1

Think the Xbox 360 is better than the ps3?. Think its Impossible for the ps3 to ever come back from its rocky start?. Well im here to answer those questions in a 3 part post.

Xbox 360 vs PS3 - Price

Now you may think that the xbox 360 is much more cheaper then the ps3 but you dont know how wrong you are. Lets compare the prices.


- Wireless Controler
- 20 gb hardrive
- 2 usb ports
- wired headset
- Component Cables
- External power supply
- Xbox live
Total cost £399.00

Seems Cheap.

PS3



- Wirless Controler
- 4 Usb ports
- Hdmi port (full 1080p)
- Sd Port
- Memory stick port
- mini sd port
- 60 gb hardrive
- Internal Power supply
- Wireless Blutooth Headset
- Blu-ray player
- Playstation network (Free)
- Built in wireless
Total cost - £499.00

Thats Pricy but lets see what happens when you get all the things the ps3 has and put them on the 360.

- Hd-dvd player £200.00
- wireless headset £40.00
- 60 gb drive £240.00 (now the 360 cant get 60 gb but 3 20 gb hardrives equals 60 gb so it works like that)
- Xbox live £50.00
- Wireless adapter £50.00

So that brings the cost of the 360 up to .....

£580.00

£80 pounds extra doesnt look like alot but all those add-ons under perform in comparison to the ps3 with the exception of xbox live which kicks playstation networks ass.

so it looks like if your looking at buying a good next gen console buy the ps3 its better value for your money, But dont get me wrong the xbox 360 is also good just not as good as the ps3 but it is currently out performing it in games.
