The PS3 is alot powerfull than the the xbox 360 lets face it.....well thats what i thought until the halo 3 trailer came out. The extreamly great graphics halo 3 has is all running in real-time on the xbox 360 and there is no other game on the PS3 that even comes close to it. The PS3 is supposed to 2 times more powerfull than the xbox 360 lets face it the games on the PS3 do look good like my personal favourite: Fall of man which is really impresive.One of the reasons i like fall of man is that i look at how intense and how good it looks only to give me hints on what halo 3 will look like with HDR and all that high-tech stuff.

I just think when it comes for someone to decide wich is the better consloe is for them why would they pick the PS3 when they can buy a much cheaper console and get well better games on it.

It isn’t, the specifications can only tell you so much. I’d go into it more but I don’t have the commitment to give you a summary on each of the system’s parts.

Sighness

Indubidubly. Banana.

RIIDDGGGE RAACCCERRR!

Sorry, PS3's E3 was so terrible I laugh everytime someone talks about the crab, or Ridge Racer =p

As for me, I think the PS3 blows, as does the 360 >_>; I'm going for the Wii as it's the last option. Maybe I'll go with none?

the ps3 has one procesor to tell 7 or 8 others all running at 3.2 ghz what to do

the 360 has 3, 3.2 ghz procesers wich each with 2 threads so it basicly has 6 procesers wich is one or two less than the PS3

ok ill take a crack at explaining this. what he means is the PS3 is essientially stronger than the 360 but is a lot harder to develop games for because you have to program 9 cores to do one thing while the 360 has 3 cores to do one thing which is a hell of alot easier your gonna see some 360 games that are a lot better than anything the PS3 has but after 5 years or so PS3 devs will have mastered the hardware and sadly will produce games with better graphics than the 360. for example look at the ps2 its about 6 years old right now and still coming out with games that can almost call themselves next gen thats because the devs are pushing that machine to its limit
