Hi people,

I'm thinking of buying a console but i don't know which one to buy. Some have said that the PSX 3 breaks down a lot, some have said the Xbox 360 gets a lot of the ring of death. So which console would you buy and why?

TIA,

Well it really is a tough decision. I went with the PS3 because I wanted the cheapo [free] online gameplay. And I've been using my laptop to watch my movies anyway, so it doesn't hurt me that Cinavia is on the PS3...
Also the whole thing with the 'better controller'... I don't think any controller is better than the other. I prefer the PS3 controller whilst others prefer the Xbox. That's preference.

ohh also to add i found a place to buy cheaper games. EBAY!!!
Why to buy games when Boobsman86548 85626 still exist!! he upload games for 360 n for PS3 there are too many guys who upload actually for getting 360 hacked you need to open it and for Ps3 some backup utilities work well! Moreover Ps3 games are awesome some of its exclusive games are really epic like killzone3 uncharted and more!!Xbox too have some exclusive but PS3 has its own benefits whie xbox too have but if your budget is well u can go to Ps3 thats what is recommended!!
If you're going to mod your ps3, don't update it. As long as it's either 3.41 or 3.55 then you can dual-boot it, one boot for cracked games (without PSN), the other is normal - no cracked games (with PSN).

My personal suggestion PS3 and let me give you quick comaprision of both :)
CPU
XBOX-----3.2 GHz Xenon processor 3.2 GHz Cell processor
PS3-----3 dual-threaded cores 7 single-threaded cores (plus 1 backup core)
Winner: PlayStation 3
GPU
XBOX----ATI Xenos--Up to 512 MB GDDR3 RAM (shared w/ system RAM) ---10 MB eDRAM--21.6 GBps bandwidth (256 GBps via eDRAM)
PS3-----NVIDIA RSX "Reality Synthesizer"--256 MB GDDR 3RAM (additional 224 MB can be shared w/ system RAM)--- 22.4 GBps bandwidth
Due to 10mb edram Xbox won!
RAM
XBOX--512 MB GDDR3 RAM (shared with GPU)--700 MHz speed--22.4 Gbps bandwidth
PS3--256 MB XDR RAM--3.2 GHz speed--25.6 Gbps bandwidth
Winner: PlayStation 3
HARDWARE
XBOX-250 GB HDD--5400 rpm
PS3--4 GB SSD 160 or 320 GB HDD--5400 rpm
Winner: PlayStation 3

CPU, GPU and RAM is irrelevant in this situation unless your comparing pc's, its not like the ps3 can run 360 games and 360 can run 360 games.

Xbox is best..
And it doesn't get Red Ring Of Death(RROD).. RROD was in consoles which were manufactured before 2009..
Now consoles don't get RROD..
So just buy it.. Piracy is way too easy with Xbox360..
You'll be playing cheaper games..
Go for Xbox..

Welp I just want to thank everyone here for your lovely support and advice, it was a tough decision for me. But only one could be the winner. I have bought myself the Latest PS3 160GB slim. I must say i am definately impressed with the quality of the games. I have now joined the Playstation network to play my games. I was thinking of jailbreaking my playstation, but from what people have said here that it will only hinder me from playing online so i'm leaving it as it is.
Thank you again everyone for your wonderful support. I love this kat community, so much wealth of information!!! You are all wonderful people.
Thank you
