Nothing matters, if you want suggestions on consoles. just post them. Also please come forward with suggestions and help make fellow gamers choose the best console. So, to just warm you up, I'm posting what are the consoles available today. PlayStation 3 Manufacturer: Sony Date of Release: September, 2006 Units sold: 43.2 million Variants: Release model: PS3 60GB(16999INR including a bonus Game)(not under production but available), Slim variants(released in September,2010): PS3 40GB(17699INR),PS3 160GB(19,990INR), PS3 250Gb(Rs 21,599) PS3 320 (Rs 22490), PS3 MOVE BUNDLE(Rs 23490) Features: Bluray Drive, Cellbroadband Engine, RSX chip, Blutooth connectivity, Dolby TrueHD & DTS-HD Master Audio bit streaming, etc. Notable games:Red Dead Redemption, Resistance, Killzone 2, God of War 3, Uncharted 2,Fifa,Gran Turismo 5, Little Big Planet, etc. Pros: Really.. Really poweful, Efficient Bluray player, Perfect Multimedia powerhouse,Amazing First party developers,Free online gaming with PSN,A badass thing called PS MOVE. A premium service named PSN+ which will allow users to grab betas, early demos, play classic PS games. Cons: Subpar performance of Third party Titles, A bit expensive,PSN not as strong as its competitor XBL Content downloaded with PSN+ account only lasts until the account last.

Aftrunner Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I never get these "help me chose which console to buy" or "which console should you chose to buy" threads. If you dont know what you want and cant do enough research to know what you want then you really should just save your money and not buy anything. Seriously.

Bulovski Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Ah but you're not getting the point of the article are you? The guy has a PS3 and no X360. With an 'attempt' at 'neutral' article he tries to establish credibility about his knowledge and unbiased opinions. Notice the skimming over the Wii and DS. So next time he says X360 suxxors we are supposed to listen because he wrote an informative article. If the plan was any stupider, we could name him Baldrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeehunter Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Xbox 360 hardware weaker than PS3 U can say DVD weaker than Blu-ray but not hardware And u say PS3 hardware is stronger than Xbox 360, then why do multiplats look sh*t on PS3 . For us gamers wht proves more stronger is the one which produces better graphics . PS3 processor might be strong on paper but in reality it produces sub-par graphics compared to Xbox 360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us gamers wht proves more stronger is the one which produces better graphics . PS3 processor might be strong on paper but in reality it produces sub-par graphics compared to Xbox 360 CPU of PS3 is better than Xbox 360 since it can handle GPU's workload too.But,GPU of 360 is better than that of PS3,which is the reason why most multi-plats are better on 360. @prakhar:RDR 360 version is better than the PS3 version. :thumbdown:Rockstar games generally nowadays are better on the 360.

Its like this , 360 has 3 cores and PS3 has 8 cores so developers usually like to code which can work on lesser cores and then port it to any systems which has more cores so 3 cores code gets divided into 8 cores for PS3 leading to some inferiority since code has to open up threads to interactive with cores.

Aftrunner Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Also if anyone else can come up with a better guide, there are most welcome. Yeah nobody gives a sh*t. Here is a better guide. Quite short and comprehensive too. Use google. Hope it helps everyone. As for the rest of the new console buyers. Stop sh*ting up forums asking about which console you should buy. It aint a graphics card or a motherboard. There are only 3 of them. If you are about to plonk down 20 thousand rupees on one and dont even know what you want, guess what? You are a f**king moron.
