Which is better - PS3 or Xbox 360? Looking for an answer

Well, we finally saved up the money and are ready to fulfill our old dream and buy a good game console! We are burning with the desire to dive into the exciting and exciting world of games and give it to the rest of the world for at least the next week. And here it is a day off! We resort to the store! We approach the window! But at this point you forget about all the recent anticipations and delights, because we are faced with the question of what is better - PS3 or Xbox 360.

And now we will try to orient the buyer and help him with the answer to this difficult question.

To begin with, we will deal with the characteristics, bundling and price of consoles.

Play Station 3 boasts the next filling. The brain of the console is an 8-core processor with a clock speed of 3.2 GHz. The physical memory of the device, depending on the model, ranges from 4 to 320GB. RAM type XDR, the amount of 256MB. For graphics meets the NVIDIA RSX graphics processor with its 256 MB of memory. All this allows the PS3 to set in motion complex games with top-end graphics of the Full Hd class.

Of the additional features of the console, I'll highlight the availability of the PS3 Blu-ray drive and the ability to play 3D movies. Therefore, if you have a 3D TV, then I think that you already answered the question about what is better - PS3 or Xbox 360.

The Play Station 3 includes: a set-top box, one joystick, a power cord, a controller charging cord, and an AV cable (3RCA), commonly referred to as a "tulip". Just want to note that the image transmitted through the RCA-cable, will not allow you to watch 3D and give a resolution of 1920 to 1080 pixels. Therefore, when buying immediately purchase an HDMI cable version 1.4.

In some cases, the controller may include a PlayStation Move controller.

The average retail price of PS3 ranges from 11,000 to 15,000 rubles, depending on the equipment.

And maybe the problem comes from the other side? And ask about what is best - Xbox 360 or PS3, and not vice versa.

What does Microsoft offer us?

The console drives a powerful processor with 3 symmetrical cores and a clock speed of 3.2GHz, physical memory from 4 to 500GB, 512MB of RAM and tops all the graphics chip from ATI called Xenos. Drive «X-boxes» - the usual, i.e. DVD. The console is capable of playing music files from a flash drive and even video files with the extension avi. For the latter, you need to install the codecs by connecting to the Internet in advance.

The set-top box is the following: "body", one wireless controller (a single-use battery, unlike the PS3), the same analog AV cable that can be immediately discarded, the power supply (in this case it is outside the console).

The Xbox can be equipped with a kinect controller. This is a wireless console management option from Microsoft as opposed to the above PlayStation Move. The benefits of this or that lotion to the console will not say much. I will only say that they differ dramatically, hit games are there, and there, and sold separately.

Now compare the read. Xbox 360 or Playstation 3? And it seems again that the preference is shifted to the side of the product from Sony. But now we will try to take into account the opinion of experienced users. Among the surveyed gamers, most preferred Xbox. The guys were the most ordinary and motivated their position by the fact that when playing on Xbox the picture is more dynamic, interesting and colorful, and most importantly it is the ability to copy games to the hard disk.

Fans of PS3 on the question of what is better - PS3 or Xbox 360, answered unequivocally and confirmed their words as follows: technical advantages of the console; A legendary joystick that has not undergone any changes since PS1, and most importantly - it's a huge number of exclusive games that are not available even to PC owners. Whatever one may say, we are still at the crossroads.

So, let's summarize. Still, what is better than PS3 or Xbox 360? Personally, I would have bought myself a Sony console, because I believe that the colorful Xbox image is not able to block all the opportunities that the consumer receives by buying Play Station 3. Of course, this is my personal opinion, which has both opponents and supporters. The main thing is that you already had a concrete idea about these products and the question that we tried to answer did not catch you unawares. Successful shopping for you! All the best!
