A neutral review!

Once both are very good Consoles!

Defective / overheating 360:

Often we will inform you that the XBOX is constantly broken. To which I can only say that this also was the case. Meanwhile, the problem of overheating, however, is largely eliminated. This also shows the sharp drop in the number of recall consoles.
A new drive and the revised processor doing the rest.
My 360 (Halo Edition) is a new generation (with HDMI) and running in a chest of drawers where the risk of heat stress is greater without any problems, despite continuous operation over several hours. Therefore, I will not go through this argument.

Power / graphics:
The Playstation 3 has on the paper in the lead. Nevertheless, you can not take advantage of it. And for a very simple reason. The game developers develop the game for the 360 ​​because it is the weaker ,, "console and leave it as a port on the Playstation 3 will appear. This saves programmers the duplication of effort and cost. The consequence is that the 360 ​​as ,, Original "often a tad look better than the PS3 versions. Therefore, although most of the players grab both consoles have normally in a game for the XBOX version. Nevertheless, watch the games on the Playstation 3 Super from. Even the term, that is the 360 ​​,, the weaker "console, you have to qualify. Most data matches are still not able to exploit the full power of the 360. So I give the two consoles in terms of performance a draw. Because of me is crucial that at the end comes at the monitor and not what is on the paper on data who knows how long it will be before or even if people say:.. Ah this is a PS3 game that I see on the good graphics I bezweifel the man at all this sometime can detect. Quite simply also for the reason of the programming and the power density.

Future-proof:
The Playstation 3 is often referred to as the future-proof console. That may be the case, because it has more power on the paper and an integrated Blu-Ray player. But I would like to say that I do not use on Blue Ray this feature despite the possibility. And for a very simple reason. The movies are too expensive for me and I want the film sometimes look elsewhere. Laptop on the train, make friends etc. Since not many Blueray players are common and it is not yet a standard, this feature ,, still "not interesting to me, and thus hardly genutzt.Ich therefore still reach the normal DVD back. As the 360 ​​still relies on the current DVD media I can watch my films there. But because everyone is different. techies may be willing to pay the higher price for a Blu-ray and take as a reason to buy.

Games:
The games offer is currently greater in the XBOX. She's already on the market longer. Sony has but now even a decent selection of games at the start. Both make exclusive titles that often the owner of the other console envious. But this is relative. (360 Gears of War, Halo etc / PS3 Gran Turismo, Metal Gear Solid, etc.)
The mass and the most important thing is available for both consoles. Most data come exclusively titles later for another console. For Metal Gear Solid. Therefore, I give to the point of the Xbox because it has currently to offer more games because of the amount, and for shooter fans is the first choice.

Pros / cons:
The great disadvantage of the 360 ​​is still the volume. This interferes with the quiet places in films especially. While gambling it does not fall to be significant. As the game acoustics drowned out the noise. When PS3 is heard for nothing. This is also the reason why the 360 ​​from me no 5 stars, in addition to the external power supply, which is just clunky large.
When no 360-Fi is also integrated. Which is often interpreted as a negative, but poses an advantage for me. (Wants) And if I do not have it, need I do not want to pay for it. The PS3 assumes that you need, and use because it has then yes. For me personally, politics is what I need I'll buy to prefer. Online you get even without WiFi. You should use live In order to exploit the potential of the XBOX 360 also definitely XBOX. The online offering is defnitely the leader among online consoles.
If you want to play primarily online with your console, leads in itself no way around the 360 ​​with Xbox Live over. Although there is a charge, unlike the PS3. Even in the old XBOX this was the case.
Small disadvantage of the PS3 is that it is the perfect dust collector, and in my opinion ergonomic controller has weaker.

Conclusion:

Both consoles are in my opinion the future. There is only the question of how to interpret the future. With the 360 ​​you will also have problems in 4-5 years fun. Just as with the PS3. The PS2 shows us how what you can still rauskitzeln everything from an old console.
Because of the exclusive titles (Gears of War and MGS4) I got myself both consoles. Should I choose one, I would, however, retain the 360. The games offer is bigger and tells me more about. The controller and the online offer are currently unbeatable. In addition, the console itself is the cheaper and in my opinion just as Next Gen as the PlayStation 3. Although some argue that here, without giving reasons. Because I want to mainly gaming with the console, the above arguments (Games, Online, Controller, price) are important to me. I can then also live at the end of the high volume.
