Online gaming, e.g if there are more lags during online gameplay with one console than the other.

do you mean stuff like lag? if thats the case then most games that are P2P will work about that same no major difference however PS3's 1st/2nd party games run on dedicated servers so there a lot less lag

There's virtually no difference playing games on either system online. However a lot of people report (me included) their downloads are slower on PSN. Also Xbox 360 does not have built in wireless, you have to buy an adapter or a bridge, whichever suits your fancy. PS3 has wireless built in. XBL Gold is $8 a month or $50 a year (or less if you shop around) PSN is free. XBL has Party Chat and a better invite system, PSN does not. That's pretty much the run down on both. Basically, PSN doesn't have as many features, but as far as playing games goes, there is no difference between XBL and PSN, just one of them is free.

One more question, If i live in Europe and buy my Xbox 360 here, 1year later I move to the US. Am I able to play American Games on my European Xbox, or does it have a regional lock?

Unfortunately, it is not region free to the best of my knowledge. PS3 is though, if you were wondering.

both perform adequately. the PS3 has built in wifi, which is nice. on the other hand, i think that XBL is a little more full featured. then again, you have to pay for it.

I agree with everything except with this. With all the games included, 360 has a better library then the Ps3 including arcade games and indie.

The only thing drives away of a X360 purchase is that im online gamer most and XBL is not free. And no , i wont pay for it. Go for PS3 instead imho

That's something entirely up to the user. Playing a game on my PS3 isn't functionally any different from playing it on my 360. What games you like more isn't relevant.

They are pretty much even in my experiences. Meaning there wasn't really lag on either system whenever I play.

hmmm baring most of us misunderstanding what you mean...online there is no difference both systems have dedicated server games as the minority, and both systems have client server games as the majority.

If you have lag the majority of the time on client server games you'll have the same on the other system.

360 has no website browser ps3 does, the ps3 browser is somewhat slow and doesn't support alot of sites that I frequent so I don't use it much at all, My personal experience in every thing outside web browsing on the net is that the 360 is faster, Psn downloads of games, *qore pulse* updates are very slow, I never knew the ps3 had a speed test but it does and it says I have a 14Mbps download and 3Mbps upload yet it took nearly 4 hours to download a 1 gig qore episode it takes me far less time to download a 1 gig file on my laptop.

but yeah no difference in games, web browsing cannot be compared and the downloading of games, updates and such are slow compared thats something Sony needs to work on, they need to follow nintendos example...I remember when the Wii first came out how slow downloads of software, and games were now its insanely fast.

Get a 360 if you want to buy a wireless adapter and pay for online. Get a PS3 if built in wireless and free online is more appealing.

Im gunna say 360. Just because most people use the wireless on the PS3 and sometimes its not as strong as using a ethernet cable. (Depending how far your PS3 is from your/someones router.

Wouldn't that depend more on your ISP?

That really depends on the wall. Are you referring to those that are reinforced with steel bars? What type of concrete was used in its construction? What type of brick? If you're going to refer to brick walls, skittles, please be more specific.

In terms of downloading, i have a 10mb connection, downloading a game on the 360 takes about 8-10 mins whilst downloading on the same connection the ps3 takes about 30 mins + to do the same download.

both are equal but when it comes to bandwidth PS3 has an real gigabit Ethernet, Xbox has only a cheap 10/100 i think.

yeah, i've always wondered what the dealio is with that. same IP, both wired connections, both good speed, but for some reason my PS3 downloads and updates take longer. do not know why.

I don't think there's any difference when you're playing online but I do notice downloading things off the PSN takes longer than XBL, and all of my consoles are wired.

they are both the same. However i have had more lag in Halo 3 then any other game. As for the slow PSNdownloads/Updates, it must be the way your ISP routes to sonys servers because i live in Australia and when i download an update or download something off US/AUS PSN i always get my full line speed (9Mbps)

However a lot of people report (me included) their downloads are slower on PSN.Skittles_McGee

Really? I don't have a PS3, but I always found XBL downloads to be painfully slow. I found that I averaged something like ~600 kB/s back when I still had an active subscription, which is just unacceptable for a paid service imo. Is PSN really slower than that..?
