If im a 360 owner, what does the PS3 have for me?

Please not that I am in no way or form being a Troll,a COW, or what ever the hell it is people are called. I just want to be a more educated consumer and find out what the PS3 has to offer me that I cant find on my 360. I repeat, im just a curious gamer curious about a new experience on a syestem. Thank You :)

If I were to buy a PS3, what would I get that I cant find equaly (or better) on my 360. With so many dwindling exclusives, this is something ive been asking myself. Thank you and please mind the above statement.:) 

You are Level 17. I assume you know how to click then right?

You should click on over to System Wars. Plenty of comparison threads. Albeit by rabid fanboys.

After you're done perusing there, feel free to click on over to the actual review written by GameSpot editors on each respective system. That'll be some good information.

Then, type PS3 review in Google. There, you'll find objective, well-written information without a) annoying PS3 users who are wary of trolls here and b) incurring moderation upon yourself.

Have a fantastic tomorrow! 

guess you're thinking mmainly about games, whihc ofc atm is lacking, but as I'm sure you know there's a few nifty utilites on the ps3.

Game wise you got resistance & motorstorm which are pretty funny, and oblivion (multiplat). But as I'm sure you know (and hopefully understand) there arn't that many games out atm. So right now in this hour there won't be anything spectaluar. But, and there's a but, it looks like the games will start to pour out in the months past summer, with Heavenly sword & lair in the forefront. and after that you can look foreward to MGS4 (hopefully released this year) and others.

Remember that we're only 5 months into a 60months race and the snowball called PS3 is still struggeling to pick up speed down that first hill, after that it'll just keep on rolling and growing imo :)

you should check out system wars yourself, you cant get any help there. Its a war zone, nothign but bashing and bashing.

in terms of features...they are relatively the same..with ps3 having a less capable online system but for free...and its bound to become better this year. PS3 also has a Blu-ray drive for HD movies if you want them, if you dont and Bluray becomes the next format, then you prolly will want it.  It also has a cool interface and PSSTORE, and BC with ps2 games and ps1 games.

In terms of games, the PS3 has MANY MANY exclusives(look them up..not hard to find ill name some though further down), as well as Non-exclusives.

Big named Exclusives as well as hyped ones:

Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Heavenly sword, Little Big Planet, Killzone, Lair, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Calling all cars, God of War III, Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, Ratchet and Clank: Future Tools of Destruction, Jak next gen game, Tekken 6...and many many more that are not as spotlighted..or i forgot it..lol

Non-Exclusives: Well, if its on the 360 then it doesnt matter to you in making a decision of buying a ps3 but GTA IV might have exclusive content for hte ps3 like its having for the 360 for example. Many many games are supporting both, dont believe rumors that 3rd parties are abandoning the ps3 just because DMC4 went multi..or something.

PS3 is awesome, i have one and i can say its good. Sure Xbox 360 is in a better position in terms of console sales, and online, and amount of games released, but that will change. Thus, it will come down to what games you like...and if you like many ps3 games...i suggest you get one as the extra perks in the ps3 such as Blu-Ray and PSN and other stuff are cool too.

True. But that's where comparison threads belong.

Putting them here is an invitation for System War-like bashing from fans of both consoles.

thats why I came here. i just want the unbiased opinons of PS3 owners. Not fanboys. :) and believe me, the last thing I want to do is to invite Fanboy syestem bashers. 

Sony has some ground to make up to the 360's year long head start, but from July on, there should be a steady flow of titles to make PS3 really come into its own.  There was a thread just like this a while ago, so I'm gonna copy an earlier post of upcoming titles:

heavenly sword, lair, ninja gaiden sigma, killzone 2, socom 4, ratchet and clank, MGS4, ff xiii, ff xiii versus, gran turismo, uncharted:drakes fortune, twisted metal, l.a. noire, the getaway, eight days, little big planet, jak 4, white knight, redwood, calling all cars, tekken 6, hot shot golf 5, coded arms, time crisis 4, god of war, kingdom hearts 3, and the next team ico game (makers of ico, shadow of the colossus)

Granted, some of those may not end up being Sony exclusive, but Sony is always coming out with original titles that become system-sellers. $600 may seem like a lot of money, but you get a lot for your money, including a Blu-Ray player and built-in wifi. Also, free online and rechargeable batteries standard in controllers will save you money in the long-term.

If you're still skeptical, you may want to wait until the holidays to see what surprises are in store, but if you're a fan of more than shooters and western RPGs, then PS3 is definitely worth checking out. I really expect the PS3 to hit its stride this holiday season, and I seriously doubt that you will be disappointed with a PS3 in the long run.

well, thats unfortunate. No safe place is there?  

...You get owned in Resistnace?  :o

Okay, better stop that for myseslf... *For those who seen the name "remanance" online...that's me...:( Getting owned...

Anyways, what everyone said above...*Most of them* fits in just nicely. If you like Metal Gear and FF This system...yeah... 

I own both systems, so, speaking from experience, the PS3 is an excellent buy.  Are there a lot of games out for it right now?  No.  However, a number of those games are incredible.  As has been mentioned, Motorstorm and Resistance are both games that will provide many hours of exciting game play.  I was never a big fan of FPS, but I bought Resistance because, well, at the time, it was about all there was for the PS3 (had my system since December).  I've played through it three times, now, and still enjoy it.  I played through an FPS on the other system and after one play through, had no desire to play it again.  Maybe that's because Resistance was first, I don't know, but I enjoy it a lot more.  I also own Oblivion on both systems, and I must admit that I enjoy it a lot more on the PS3.  The graphics are much improved and the load times are much shorter.  I also haven't experienced the same freezing issues on the PS3 as I have on the 360.  Nothing more annoying than having to restart my system and possibly losing game progress along the way.  That's not to say that the PS3 never freezes, I just haven't noticed it being as frequent.

But if you're only interest is exclusive titles, then there probably aren't enough of them out at this point to warrant a purchase, but as so many others have already pointed out, there are a number of exclusives due to be released in the next few months that will really begin to separate the two systems.  At that point, you need to decide for yourself whether those games are worth buying the system for.

For those who like a nice quiet game experience:

1.  PS3 = Have to put your ear right next to the vent to hear anything

2.  360: Sounds like a lawn mower eating a cat ;)

So if you want a nice quiet machine, get the PS3.  I just got one and love it.  I was thinking of doing FOLDING@Home but then thought better of it, really really dont wanna burn up my PS3 running it 24/7 (and I already do those projects on my PC, no wonder my electic bill is $83/month)

oddly, thats not what my PS3 does. I think mines the only one that has the same, if not louder, vent than my Xbox 360. I can't tell the difference.  

Blu-ray and all other genre's other than shooters and racing gamesinyourface_12

games like resistance and motorstorm????

Please not that I am in no way or form being a Troll,a COW, or what ever the hell it is people are called. I just want to be a more educated consumer and find out what the PS3 has to offer me that I cant find on my 360. I repeat, im just a curious gamer curious about a new experience on a syestem. Thank You :)

Well first off Bluray comes to mind, which is awesome btw. Then there are games on PS3 OTHER than shooters. The hardware is robust and reliable. Bigger hard drive, HDMI(if you care), Wifi built in. IMO, the XMB looks very classy as opposed to the more vulgar 360 blades. it is QUIET. The controllers are rechargable right out of the box and are motion sensative. Bluetooth compatibility. FREE online gaming. Over all, the quality on the PS3 is much higher,and you get more for your money. Also, the games and features coming out very soon look spectacular, especially if you're not a big fan of shooters.

If you already have a 360, the PS3 is good to have for the different gaming experience it offers. It is also feature rich so there is a lot to do with it. Thats what I think, but I am also a supporter of owning all three systems.

The only thing I dont like is all the hot games for the next gens are FSP. I hate FPS on the console, the control is tough.  Much better on the PC.  For me F1 Racing is the best, the Sixaxis steering works like a dream.Zoomer30

I was thinking about trying the sixaxis steering, but didn't cause I thought it might suck. you're saying it works great? I must try it now!

I was a 360 owner as well, but I got the PS3 because I wanted the two most powerful consoles out there. With great games coming out for both systems, I am set for gaming for the next 5-10 years. And the PS3 looks damn nice as well.NextGen86

I couldn't have said it any better myself!!!!

lol....very well said.

a free online service

and PS exclusives 

Financial piece of mind.  No online subscription fees, built in wi fi, controllers that actually have a plug and charge kit out of the box, a decent sized and easily replaceable hdd, blue ray, hdmi, web browser, Motorstorm.  Cheap Sony games (£34.78 in England)

I had a 360 which died (red rings) and I loved it but did not want to go through that heartbreaking loss of all my saves, downloads, etc, ect again.  The PS3 games are very similar to 360 games (in so much as Xbox1 games were barely distinguishable from PS2 games).  Your real question is where are all the good games which makes me think your comment is an ill thought out side swipe at what is afterall a freshly launched console.  Give it time and it's software catalouge will grow.
