when halo 3 is released there will be a significant jump in the xbox 360 sales, yet people will go for the ps3 cause it is deemed to be more powerfull than the 360.

so would you buy or trade in for a updated 360???

On papaer the PS3 seems better, but I think the Xbox 360 brings its componenets together to form an overall better console. eg: PS3: 1 Processer core @ 6 ghz. Prone to innefficient functions. 360: 3 cores at 2 Ghz each. Allows stuff to be split for greater eficiency when running games.

There might me a change the ps3 will look the same as the xbox 360.

The 360 console has 3 times a 2 gig core.
The ps3 has one single core working at 6 gigs.
So almost the same.



But why get a new xbox 360?
I bought mine at the launch day just like 5 friends and all xbox 360's work great.
So i don't know why you want a new xbox 360.


It can put up with the ps3 with ease.

Is SONY being stupid again and only allowing 2 controllers?

-blam!- sony. they have too many buttons on their controllers. The ps1 was fun because no one really cared about graphics back then and the ps2 is only good for racing games. And how original are their names. ps3, ooooo wow. I bet it took a whole team of super nerds to come up with that. Hold on I think I can help you out for your next console. ps4!!!

No you can't - If you research, you'll see it was put back down to four controllers. Another Sony dissapoinment that they failed to own up to.

Look on the top of the Ps3 controller - you'll notice four lights - one for each player.

It's a pretty badly made video, but it highlights some points worth knowing. The site has some better one's though - search around.

I'm sorry, I was under the assumption that the Halo 3 Forum was to discuss Halo 3 and not the Xbox 360. Oh what, it was you that made an incorrect assumption...
