I just got a ps3 so now I have an xbox and a ps3. Just wondering who else has both and what you prefer. I like them equally? This should give a pretty unbiased opinion. If you don't have both stay out. I guess i could make this an any 2 console or pc and console thread but we will keep it as just 360 and ps3 to keep it less confusing.

I think the ps3 hardware is nicer and free online, and some of it's top exclusives have better graphics and just look slightly nicer and are higher quality. The ps3 is doing some really nice things with games like Uncharted, Metal Gear, the show, Heavy rain etc...

It's quieter, blu-ray etc.

The sixaxis is nice in it's own way. It seems more advanced than the 360 controller in certain regards with the buttons being more touch sensitive and motion control being incorporated in some games.

The 360 has games that are geared towards what I like. Hard to explain since the ps3 has the show and i love sports games. I also love adventure games and used to love point and click adevntures. Those are my two favorite genres with action adventure and the ps3 is the only console that has a game like the Show and Heavy Rain.

But for just general gaming the 360 does better. Multiplats run better. Live updates faster. Maybe it's an american thing and it has western rpgs like ME, Fable and other games like splinter cell, gears, halo etc that are more americanized.

I like the 360 controller better. IT might not do as much, but it's just more functional to me and the layout is better, it's more natural and comfortable in my hands.

I have both and I play my PS3 way more. The library of exclusives appeal more to me and are of a higher caliber imo.

I have both I guess recently I prefer the PS3 mostly because I haven't bought a 360 game in awhile (overall a pc gamer) and actually to be honest I haven't played much of the ps3 since demon's souls.

I play 360 more, but I got it first and have a lot more games for it. Although the few PS3 games I have are some of my favourites. The PS3 as a console is better though. Big hard drive, Wi-Fi, Blu-Ray movies, free online, web browser and it plays games as quietly as a mouse. Honestly, PS3 games are quieter than installed 360 games. It makes a big difference to in-game atmospheric sound IMO, when there's less interference.

Own both.

Hardware: PS3

Online: Doesn't matter anymore, so I guess I'll go with free (PSN).

Games: 360 in 2010 since I can't wait for Alan Wake, Halo Reach, Crackdown 2, and Fable 3. There's not many PS3 exclusives I'm excited for that I know of yet, but I expect something other than 3D Dot Game Heroes and Modnation Racers to pop on my radar after E3.

Motion: PS3. Move looks to offer much more than just Natal.

As weird as it sounds ( pun intended ) , the noise my 360 makes is probably the deciding factor on all my multi-platform games. My TV is right beside a door so when i use my 360 i sit it on the tile and run the cables under the door and then shut it. Its like gaming inside a car with the window down.

lol good idea. I'd like to surround my 360 in an airtight box but that would be badddd. I'll be getting Dead Space 2 and Bioshock 2 on PS3 for this reason alone.

I have both consoles and I prefer the xbox 360 for a few reasons. I prefer the xbox dashboard layout and I preferthe live system over the PSN offering., I find that live works a lot quicker fordownloads such as demos, updates etc..The main reason I prefer the Xbox 360 is simply the controller design is better. This is not to say the PS3 is bad as I enjoy a lot of the games such as Heavenly Sword, Metal Gear Sold 4 and most recently Final Fantasy 13. I personally think if a person can afford both consoles, they should buy them as there is a place for them both to exist and the fan boy war on here is laughable and causes many people to miss out on great games. I personally laugh at how they quote aaae this or dont count pc/360 games, If I want them I just buy the regardless of what console they r on.

I know I posted in another one of these earlier, I did all that apples/oranges crap. The PS3 has served me better overall but it would suck massively if I didn't own a 360.

Got both. Prefer PS3. Mostly because I prefer my PC to both, and get multiplats on that when I can. I may prefer my 360 if I didn't have a PC due to the PC/360 games and generally better multiplat performance. I also like the LIVE integration better then PSN. But as it stands, PS3 has better games I cant get anywhere else. Except Halo. And I do love me some ***ing Halo. Infact my 360 is my Halo 3 box. I call it "Chief". I love him.

I prefer PS3, if only because I use it more and often buy multiplat games for it. I also prefer PSN titles to Live titles.

I have all the "current gen" systems and I can honestly say that I enjoy my PS3 the most. The exclusives are fantastic and while the 360 has a couple games I'm crazy about, the PS3 line-up really interests me.

Depends on what games and movies are out in a month but most of the time I prefer the 360 because of their library of games. I also like their promotions for free Live, Points, and DLC, sometimes they mess up and you can get them for free. Got Live till 2013 for free and Mass Effect 2 DLC for free thanks to loop holes.

I own both and prefer the PS3. I have zero time right now for the 360 with MLB The Show 10, Heavy Rain, FF XIII and BFBC 2. Heck, Im not even getting GoW 3 until later in the Summer once Ive finished Heavy Rain and FF XIII. The PS3 is simply a higher quality console and I much prefer the Sixaxis to the bulky 360 controler.

I have both and I prefer the PS3, mostly due to the fact that I like the exclusives better and I love the BR player but I do enjoy both. I also have a gaming pc and the 360/pc split alot of quality titles while the PS3 has more true exclusives.

Got both. Prefer the 360 slightly because of live and the superior controller but the PS3 is great also. Currently Iam playing the GOW collection in prep for GOW3. After this will be looking forward to Alan Wake, Crackdown2 and Reach.

i have both and theyre both beneficial for different things. as far as multimedia goes at least. gaming wise its a matter of preference. i like the games on both consoles equally. they both have delivered some powerhouse titles this gen and i have NOT been disappointed. i do like the 360 controller better because of the size weight and design but im almost as good with the DS3. hardware wise (as far as durability goes) of course the award goes to the ps3 but all that aside i got the systems for their games and thats pretty much all that matters to me (with the exception of xbl vs psn, but thats a different discussion altogether). they both deliver, im satisfied on both fronts....i got my monies worth

They both have great games. I have had a ps3 for about a year longer so my ps3 library is larger and more preferable. If it werent for mass effect i probably wouldnt even own a xbox 360. Since then though, i have had some great experiences on the xbox, as well as on the ps3.

I recently picked up a 120gb PS3 for my daughter, and I plan on buying some of the games I like for it as well. I had a PS3 a while back, but got rid of it because I never played it, and only played my 360. Now that Sony is dishing out the exclusives and better titles, and the fact that my daughters mom wouldn't be nice enough to ship her PS2 to her, I figured now is a good time to reward her for her good grades. That and it won't hurt if I grab a game or two to my liking. So right now I prefer the 360, but I will probably be playing the PS3 a bit more since GOW3 is around the corner.

Both, better games on the 360 for me, and PS3 better as a media center and some good games.

good man! games are always great gifts for the kids. i got my son and daughter a wii though. the PS3 and 360 are off limits! they recently graduated up from the sega genesis...for some reason they picked up on how to use the wii almost instantly.

I have both and I like the 360 more. To be fair, I've had a 360 for a while, and I just got a PS3 a couple months ago. I use my 360 for a lot of media stuff though, and I think the media features work better on the 360.

I prefere..... whatever game That I want to play at that moment. Consoles are just in the way of you and your games. Since I have them all then it just boils down to games. But I guess other people feel the need to compare constantly.

Have both. Overall I've used the 360 more, but it has like a two year headstart for me. Lately I use the PS3 more, and that's the one I prefer. Its spoiled me now. When I turn my 360 on it sounds like a jet engine as its taking off by comparison. :?

I own both, and prefer the 360. The only reason I keep the PS3 is because of the exclusives and the blu ray player.
