A comparison of the Xbox 360 Vs. PS3
“Gaming has been a great way to get to know people. That's part of what I love about games, that they are social.� - Rich Sommer
Both Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3 offer HD graphic video and high quality sound. Each has its own fan base but most customers choose either one for the features that suit them. If you are planning to buy a gaming console its best to know what you will get.
DISC CAPABILITY
The PS3 offers a built in blue ray disk while the Xbox 360 has a DVD drive. The PS3 takes the spot among customers who prefer higher media formats.
THE HARD DISK
The Xbox has a hard drive capacity of 250GB whereas the PS3 has a convincing 320GB which is a 70GB difference. Another added advantage in favour of the PS3 is the fact that its memory can be swapped for a higher one pretty easily. The same can’t be done on the Xbox.
PERFORMANCE
Both PS3 and the Xbox gaming consoles have custom chipsets and memory. They are evenly matched in terms of performance with slight differences. Although the PS3’s gigaflop per second measures higher than that of the Xbox, both provide high end gaming experience.
ONLINE GAMING
Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network are dedicated to offer players to test their skills online among others. Both services offer online streaming as well.
CONNECTIVITY
As far as the ease of connectivity goes, the Xbox has 3 USB ports and the PlayStation has 5 including Bluetooth connectivity.
