PS3 is better than xbox 360

"For one you'd be hard pressed to find a game that works better or looks better on ps3 than 360."First of all i will agree that multiplatform games on the 360 tend to look better than the ps3 but the difference is subtle. I would have to say that games in most cases work equally as well on the ps3. "In fact, some games, like Game Of The Year 2011, The Elder Scrolls V:Skyrim, are much much better on 360."Yes skyrim is better on 360, but what you must understand is the Bethesda has a reputation for making their games worse on the ps3, this isn't intentional i am sure but for example fallout 3 was much buggier on ps3 than on 360. Bethesda is used to developing for a windows type system and the 360 behaves like windows. My point being is that this is not the case with most games and i would even say that most games work equally as well on ps3."Achievements earned during gameplay."Dude, we have acheivements too they're just called trophies on ps3 because sony didn't want to use the same name because it would be copying the 360. Both acheivments and trophies do the same thing which is the reward you for doing something in the game. It is really a matter of preference."Gamerscores amounting the total ofa user's Achievement points."we have the equivalent of this on the PS3, but we are on the level system. For example: the more trophies you get the higher your level is on PSN. They both do the same thing in a different way, they give you a ranking based on your level of trophies or acheivments. This is just a matter of preference."Rep voted by other users preferring or avoiding the user."I will agree PSN does not have this feature and i would like to see it implemented. I will admit this is a fault and give you this one."Rep defaults to five stars ove rtime after the user has been preferred by at least one other user."good point, this happens to be something that the PS3 doesn't have and i would like to see it implemented in someway but overall it isn't that significant of a feature i would have to say. If you didn't like somebody you played with you could always block them by putting them on your ignore list on PSN."Friends list displaying the user's chosen friends of up to 100." PSN has this feature too."Recent players list displaying the last 50 players the user has met."PSN also has the feature to display the most recent players you met."Complaint system allowing users to file reports of other users that have broken Xbox Live Terms of Use."PSN has this feature too and it works equally as good."Windows Live Messenger integration. Xbox Live Marketplace offering downloadable content for games,music and movies."I agree that PS3 does not have windows live messenger intergration but in all honesty not a lot of people use windows live messenger anymore. PS3 has the playstation store which also offers downloadable content, such as games, music and movies. Because Sony owns Playstation and they also own a huge music label and are in the movie industry too that means they can also offer more movies and music than the 360."Voice and Video chat."PS3 has this feature too."Multiplayer gameplay for up to four players via system link or Xbox Live."The PS3 has multiplayer gaming too and it can also system link and play on PSN which is also online gaming."Cross-platform multiplayer with Windows gamers on select games via Games for Windows"PS3 doesn't have this feature and i wouldn't say that's a bad thing due to the fact that when people play online games most of them just want to play against other players and are not necessarily conserned with what they're playing on. However this could give an unfair advantage to pc players because it is easier to control with a mouse and keyboard."Live Matchmaking depending on the user's cumulative gamerscore, rep, location, language and gamer zone."PSN does do matchmaking and it does it based on location, language, and on the users trophy level i think which is similar to that of a gamer score. But it does not filter matchmaking based on rep or gamer zone. "Party system for up to eight users for playing games and watching movies."ps3 does have a party system however this isn't available for crossgame chat which is a must needed feature of the ps3. "Family settings controlling younger users' exposure to other users."The ps3 also has parental controls which is the same thing as family settings. the rest of the things you said were streaming options pretty much. PSN is great service and so is xbox live but the difference is the price. Why would you want to pay 60 dollars a year to do something that the ps3 and pc has been getting for free all this time. PSN has good streaming options and most people stream from netflix and the ps3 has netflix as well as several other options. Why would you want to pay money to do something like play games online, and stream from netflix, or use avatars. The PSN offers a great service, and xbox live does too but the fact that you have to pay 60 dollars a year to play games online is a rip off. I understand that Xbox live has much better social features than PSN but for a difference in social features it is not worth 60 dollars a year. Plus the ps3 has way better and way more exclusive games than the 360. The PS3 has the uncharted games, little big planet 1&2, god of war series, killzone series, infamous1&2, twisted metal, the resistance series, the ico series including shawow of the coloseus and the last gaurdian which is releasing this year. All the 360 has is gears of war, halo, and fable. The sheer amount of exclusives for the PS3 is amazing. "So which do you think you're really getting your money's worth for? Also it should be noted that despite it's significantly reduced features, the PS3 is still more expensive than the 360"The PS3 does cost more than the 360 but it is only 50 dollars more. The 200 dollar 360 only has a 4gb hard drive and it doesn't even have a blu-ray drive, because blu-ray is better for HD Tvs and necessary for playing games that the size of the game is over 7GB. By paying an extra 50 dollars for the PS3 which is only 250 dollars total, you are getting a blu-ray player, a media storage device, and a gaming system which has a significantly greater number of exclusive games than the 360 and the free PSN service to play them on. I know most people have a music collection that is greater than 4GB and they would like to transfer it over to the PS3 because the PS3 has a 160GB hard drive for the base model they could easily store that music without a problem. The 360 only has a 4gb harddrive for the base model which would be too small for storing music. Plus the fact that if you want to download a great game, a lot of high powered downloadable games are over 4GB so you couldn't store anything else once you got that game. The PS3 does not have significantly reduced features. For all the reasons i listed, in fact it is ahead of the 360 in many ways. This is the end of round 2 thank you and enjoy the debate.
