PS3 better than XBox 360
I recently purchased a PS3 and I was surprised by its performance vs the Xbox 360 console system. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Xbox 360 game play is great. But I was really blown away by PS3’s media center function. It quickly picked up Vista machine that was on the network. I just had to allow the connection from my pc and I was ready to stream media to it. Sure this wasn’t the only reason I think the PS3 is better than 360, check out the complete list below
Games: Basically right now The 360 has the same games as PS3. There aren’t many exclusive titles for the consoles. (tie)
Video Playback: Both systems support Divx playback which is a winner on both. But the PS3 shows better colors, and great picture quality. PS3 totally wins the category because it comes with Blu Ray. Xbox 360 still has a add on player for HD-DVD, which is lame and hogs additional space. HDMI standard. Older 360 have component cables(PS3)
Audio Playback: Both systems with solid performance. Neither System support 7.1. (tie)
Media Center: I was just amazed how smooth PS3 navigation and setup was through media center. Media Center on 360 looks dual. Microsoft should seriously consider revamping their Media center for console. (PS3 by a mile)
Price: 400 vs 300. PS3 wins this because for an extra 100 bucks you are getting Blu Ray player(PS3)
Overall: Microsoft totally pushed 360 out earlier and there is a reason that it is the market leader. But it truely lacks the hot technologies. PS3 comes with wireless controller that doesn’t have a heavy rechargeable battery in it. 360 wireless uses 2.4 Ghz frequencies. This can be an issue with the router, wireless speakers and house phones all running at 2.4 Ghz. I enjoy the PS3 bluetooth controllers. Again 360 lacks hdmi, HD-DVD and built in wireless.

Thanks.
I don’t know how subjective this breakdown is. I mean, the PS3 and the Xbox 360 battle it out on the games front and the 360 clearly wins. 360 has the best games selection, the best games period, and the games which the 360 shares with the PS3 are better on the 360. Plus, the support for Xbox Live is way better than the PS3s backward compatibility and retro gaming offerings. In terms of media center functionality, I have experienced roughly equivalent difficulty in transferring media to and from both systems. Plus the 360 has HDMI (your review says the opposite).
I do agree with you, this was just my opinion… 360 does have its positives. I personally can care less about backwards compatibility. I have an old xbox, ill use that. All the games don’t even work on the 360. Media center is great you just share with WM11 and your set. PS3 and the 360 pick up the folders. I totally play my 360 100x more than I play my PS3.. like you said because of the game selection. I do like the PS3s presentation and interface better though.
