Im shopping for a new system and was wondering which one is the better system. I want the best graphics and smoothest gameplay. Im not to worried about the blue ray player. I want best for games

Have both and prefer the 360 now. Better online experience, IMO and about equal in all other categories besides the ability to play Blu-Ray.

playstation 3 is an epic failure. xbox360 is dominating the market with sports games and shooters. Sony dropped the ball this time around.

Had a 360 but didn't have time for it & sold it.

However, from everything I have discovered since both of them were launched, the XBox is the way to go.

I had a Playstation 2 and vowed to stick with them & purchase a #3, but as I just said above, there were more factors that lef me to the 360, especially when I learnt that most of the bigger softward companies were going to cater to Microsoft & the XBox first & foremost, that made my mind up for good....

im still back and forth on this. been for months. having never played either and just from reading up, i'd lean ps3.

dont buy what these guys say about the 360 having better games. 90 percent of the games that come out come out on both systems.

from what i read the ps3 is under utilized but in the next year or so it'll blow away 360.

the ps3 is also a much more reliable machine from what i read. lot of 360's break down. was actually surprised at how many go down.

i heard 360's online is better, but not a huge difference.

I think ps3 is going to have a price drop in the next few months so if you're going to get one you might hold off until the spring.

PS3 does have better graphics and gameplay because it has a better chip. That's why it's more expensive.

However, there is some concern that Sony might pull the plug on the Playstation franchise. I read that they have lost close to a billion dollars on selling the console and don't expect game sales to make up anything close to what they lost.

If it wasn't for Halo, XBox never would have survived. But now they are the best overall game system. PS3 online play is a nightmare also while XBox's runs quite smoothly.

I was a big PS2 guy but 360 is the way to go. You can't beat the online community and the controller is more natural.

i wish ps3 could be better, but its not

360, you pay $50 a year for the online experience, and you get every penny worth in my opinion. The online gaming is awesome, especially for shooters

Man this is a hard choice, most of you are saying xbox but some seem to think ps3 will be better in the long run.

read up for yourself. see what they have to offer.

going on the games argument is stupid though. 90 percent of games are cross platform

I prefer the 360, but that is because I online game a lot.

PS3 is superior in terms of hardware and capability.

Both great systems that both have terrific exclusives

Pretty sure you can do that with the PS3 as well - dont actually use the feature myself, but when I have had my PS3 on at the same time as my laptop then I have seen option to do so...
