Debate: Is PS3 better than Xbox 360
Side: PS3 is better

Ok, time to end this whole debate ONCE AND FOR ALL. The PS3 IS BETTER. And here is why:First let us look at Microsoft, and their track record. How were they made? Do they copy other companies? Are they really a great company?1. Why does the richest company in the world need you to pay them to play games on their console online? Hmmm?2. Why, when they are into computers, did they not just make software that would turn your home PC into a gaming revolution easily integratable into your HDMI set-up etc. Don't say it is so easy, because while I, and YOU might know how to do it... The millions of people who only use their PC's to troll on youtube, and whatever don't have a clue. Geek squad most likely hooked their computer up in the first place.3. Bill Gates and Steve Wozniak. The two founders OF Windows software... Yet we all know how Bill dicked Steve over. And took Microsoft into his own hands. What did STEVE do? Built an operating system (Mac), that sells more and more each day. Is mostly virus free. Is less bulky, less hazardous. Less prone to fail. Comes packed with more out of the box DIY software like IDVD, IMOVIE, IMUSIC, etc. Microsoft is so cheap that they removed Windows Movie Maker (was shit anyway) in Vista and 7. Not ONLY that but to make Windows Movie maker on XP anywhere near as good as IDVD you had to pay 15 to 30 dollars to upgrade...4. WTF was Zune? Inferior every way to the Ipod, and yet they made it to compete with Apple... Fail again.5. WINDOWS 7. I'm looking at it right now, and still I'm not sure if its WINDOWS made to look like MAC OS X, or if they just copied MAC OS X ENTIRELY and put some windows logos in. Get real, MAC sells so good for all the functions that Windows 7 claims they ADDED for the PEOPLE. But they really added them as a gimmick. Something to lure in the gullible, while not mentioning failures, non-compatable software, and lets point out that Mac OS was doing most of this since the late 90's. Way to take a decade to catch up Microsoft. 6. They MAKE a NEW VERSION of Windows every few months it seems now. Which tempts people to rush sooo fast and get the newer version, which they put a hefty price tag on, and upgrading isn't much better. But oh my god we all need the new Windows right? It has ALL OUR ideas right? Is it just me or did I miss the invitation to put my ideas in. Because if so... Windows 7 wouldn't be the shithole it is.7. WTF is Microsoft's problem? They act like a monopoly. Buying out Yahoo, trying to buy google. They are competing with a god damn search engine that is how bad they want to control EVERYTHING. They've filed a lawsuit against google. WHY? Because Microsoft owned/sponsored websites aren't always on the top of Google's search lists. Well wait, doesn't google rank stuff depending on relevance, most unique visits, etc.? That's so wrong that EVERY website gets a FAIR shot to be on top isn't it? Microsoft is calling GOOGLE the monopoly... yet Microsoft is trying to compete for the Mobile PHONE OS (fail horribly), Mobile MP3 players (FAIL HORRIBLY), Computer operating systems (FAIL HORRIBLY). Stop, you know HOW BAD Microsoft FAILS? Let's put it this way, I like Linux because I own a SERVER. I'm a web DEVELOPER and software ENGINEER. Linux, Ubuntu, THEY ARE BETTER FOR THAT. AS far as everyday operating systems... Microsoft must FAIL really hard for non-technology person(s) to be using and defending systems like linux and ubuntu. WOW.Now lets finally get to reasons the PS3 is BETTER.When it first came out people were crying about it's price tag... But lets REALLY look at the tech and then can we complain about the price?? At that time Blu-Ray Players were brand new as well and you couldn't get a good one for less than 300 dollars, even today you can't get a great Blu-ray player for cheap. So lets mark the price at 300 dollars. Ok. Built in Wifi, how much is the 360's wifi adapter? 99 dollars. Ok lets add this. 399 bucks. Isn't todays most powerful PS3 ONLY 400 bucks? Wow... lets keep going anyway. The PROCESSOR. It took a budget of 400 million dollars, and 4 years, co-development by Sony, Toshiba, and IBM to create the Cell/BE engine processor. So now, During Development Microsoft wanted their own, and they had to go to IBM to make them the Xenon. Which is no great feat at all, and cost way less than the CELL/BE. STOP > Sony put a budget of 400 million into developing something amazing for us, their customers, and for the first how many months sold us their product at a price lower than what it cost to make, resulting in them LOSING money. Just goes to show how much Sony ACTUALLY cares about their consumers as opposed to Microsoft.Yes, the Xbox 360 came out first, but Microsoft EVEN STATED they rushed to put it out first to gain the marketplace BEFORE SONY. This resulted in shambly development, which gave the RROD problems to 10,000 systems per week, and has brought Xbox failure rates up to 33 percent... That's disgusting. RESUME > Batteries/ Charging. Ok, lets look at PS3, comes out the box with rechargeable Wireless controller. 360 you buy the adapter... OR buy batteries. LEts quick assume that in a given 365 days for a hardcore 360 gamer, they go through 2 sets of batteries per week (REALLY LOW ESTIMATE, WILL STILL PAINT THE PICTURE RATHER NICE). 52 weeks x 2 is 104 x 2 batteries is 208 batteries. STOP > This adds to environmental PROBLEMS. Resume > Price at the dollar store? A dollar for 2 batteries. So 104 dollars per year lowest estimate. But we know the xbox hardcore gamers will go through more batteries than THAT. Let's now see the price of the Adapter. 10 dollars per controller for the rechargable battery pack. So add that to the same controller cost between consoles. We essentially get our PS3 controllers ten dollars cheaper off the bat.ONLINE FEATURES: Ok, Yes Xbox live was better overall until recently. Sony is giving us cross-game chat (One of the only things Xbox live has on us), Easier friend finding (One of the only things LIVE had on us), among a bunch of other new features. But wait, what will this cost? It costs the Xbox fans 40 - 50 bucks a year to get these features. For us it will cost 0.00 dollars. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Aka. Our game company doesn't milk our pockets THANK YOU. EXLUSIVES: Ok, now you are going to whine and say Halo is the best game ever made.. but really it's not. The first one was good. Second meh, and each after is milking your pockets. Because you are gullible MORONS. The newest Halo might have a few new online types but come on. Buying the whole new game, ridiculous. They should've just made it DLC and ten bucks. Then you Xbox fans would've had something to brag about.WAIT > Can't these games be played on Windows? Hmmm... Anyone know that with some tweaking you can actually run these games on YOUR PS3? Installing linux, then emulating windows, it works with minimal lag. People see the 256 mb x 2 as less than the Xbox's single 512 mb. But they don't understand the power of the synergistic properties. Have any of you ever heard of the PS3 cluster? Where atsrophysicists have clustered 8 DONATED PS3's straight from Sony to create a "supercomputer". What does your Xbox 360 have there? Nothing. COOLING: The 360 makes that annoying fan sound even more annoying by for some reason seeming to be amplified. The PS3 is virtually quiet. Which for Audiphiles can result in greater DB levels from their audio system at lesser volumes. We know this because of the difference in enclosures, outside noise, etc. So you are looking to be immersed in your game, without having to pump the volume a little louder resulting in the neighbors calling the feds? PS3 is the way to go.MOTION CONTROL PROGESSION:Natal uses a camera with less than 1:1 ratio... PS Eye has 1:1 ratio. WE win. Natal has shown demo's that Sony showed off on the frickin EYETOY on the PS2, 5 years ago. Fail for microsoft. The company that developed Natal came first to SONY, sony passed, Then Nintendo, nintendo PASSED, and Microsoft got the software no one else wanted. It's voice and facial recognition are nice gimicks, but oh WAIT Playstation EYE already has this SOFTWARE available for DOWNLOAD. Without controllers Natal is limited to more casual-esque games. As it only PRETENDS to see in a 3D environment, and it needs pretty decent lighting just to function normally. I don't know about you guys, but lets say a new Silent Hill comes out, etc. Do you want to play it in broad daylight? Shit, I like playing horror games in the dark. Fail Microsoft. Playstation Move + EYE have better specs, especially since you Xbox customers aren't good enough for Microsoft to spend a little extra money adding that processor to their camera like they promised... Glad to know your Xbox live money really gets you nothing eh?And Natal is also limited in that it doesn't sense EVERY axis. So have fun bouncing balls, and playing games that lack the depth of MOVE, and are equivalent in novelty and gimmickry to the Wii. Even Wii-Motion Plus doesn't have half the detail that MOVE does. But wait the number one argument for Xbox fans... "The Move controller looks like a dildo". Apparently all xbox fans have the maturity of 12 year olds. That makes sense anyways, but it's kind of retarded that this is the only negative they've voiced. Our Motion control world lacks lag. Natal can't even perform great in anything than pre-rendered environments and demo's that have been edited to show what they SAY it will do. Half the demo's show stuff that isn't actually implemented into Natal yet. But they HOPE to be able to.We all saw the MILO demo right? Forgetting how lame it is anyway, did any of you notice the truth about natal? It doesn't recognize individual fingers. The girl "touched" and moved her hand in the water. But she should've kept her hand closed if you think about it because she showed of Natal's biggest Flaw. When she spread her fingers it still retained the shape as if she had a closed hand. Good job Microsoft... Another attempt at rushing a product that no one else wanted, just to milk your fan base for their parents money. That's right, I'm calling ALL Xbox Fans out. I'm willing to bet that the ones who run their mouth's are the one's living with mommy and daddy. The one's who also have ADHD, because they USED to BE SONY FANBOYS, but because Microsoft rushed their product they jumped ship. Backwards Compatability. Anyone else not understand how Microsoft would not include this? RUSHED PRODUCT. And they discontinued game development for the Xbox, and rendered the Xbox Worthless. Not ONLY that but how comes a company so powerful in the software industry, can't employ FIRMWARE updates to remove "Modded" 360s' MODS. Instead they completely ban them, and what happens? People got away with selling how many of those machines to unsuspecting people. They tried to play online, and Microsoft won't EVEN listen to the complaints. Customer Service anyone?Another FAIL > With Xbox's Failure rate 33 percent and the PS3 with .02 percent which is better? Go ahead Xbox fanboys, let that sink in a bit...Did you retain all the information yet? Take this time to Re Read everything. Go ahead.Ok, now I digress. Show me something better and why I should pay more for a shittier machine known as the Xbox 360. F you. And F Microsoft.
