harrydeo Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 About PS3 1. Open Storage: You are not bound by the company to provide you the storage for game store and game contents. In xbox 360 for 20 gb storage you need to pay INR5500 to microsoft, where as in PS3 you can get 120 GB HDD for 2500 or less from any company. Any SATA laptop hard drive is supported. 2. Backup when you want (n number of times): In XBOX you wont be able to backup ur hardive content more than once (using that ugly backup kit). That too only to Official storage only. In PS3 you can backup n number of times to any storage device (be it ur memory card, pen drive or USB drive. 2. Open Wireless Controller (No need to buy the Play & Recharge Kit): Sony is using popular miniusb standard to connect the wireless controller with built in rechargeable-battery (replaceable though). So you can recharge your controller while playing with the cable connected to PS3 only or you can use even your laptop to charge the controller (cool na). 3. Six-Axis: We all shake our remote during playing games. But until now shaking means nothing (little enthusiasm), but in PS3 you can drive a car (Motorstorm) or even throw a bomb (Drake's Fortune) by just moving around your controller. So say hello to more realistic gameplay. 4. Official Linux Support: You can install Linux on it. So for the guys who dont own Computer dont need to buy one either because they have a IBM Cell processor super computer already at home. And for those who already own PC time witness extraordinary IBM super computer. 5. Great Sound Support: While xbox360 just supports DOLBY and DOLBY WMA PS3 comes with : DTS, DOLBY,DOLBYHD, DTS HD,LPCM5.1,AAC,AAC5.1,AAC7.1 6. Open Video and Audio connectivity: Where Microsoft charges you 1800 (HD Cable)-2200 (VGA Cable) to enjoy HD gaming. You can pick any HDMI and optical cable from near buy shop to connect your HD monitor/TV and Home theater with PS3. I bought both for RS 450. It could be less in your case if you have good bargain skills . Also by default you get HDMI so you dont stuck with component analog connection for your 1080p HDTV 6. Social and Moral Contribution (aka Folding@HOME): How many of you have really contributed anything to humanity's good? If not PS3 is your chance to join Google, Human Genome project and Standford university to fight Diseases. By using Folding@Home you will contributing to this noble cause of fighting the most difficult diseases by sharing you PS3 super computing power. Read more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folding@home http://folding.stanford.edu/ 7: Support for Bluetooth: We can use almost any mobile headset out there. No need for any proprietary headset at premium rate 8: Support for any PC based WebCam: We can use almost any PC webcam out there. No need for any proprietary Web Cam at premium rate 9: DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcast Terrestrial) & DVR (Digital Video Recorder) via PlayTV: PlayTV is a twin-channel DVB-T tuner peripheral with digital video recorder (DVR) software which allows users to watch and record television programmes to the hard drive of a PlayStation 3 console for later viewing. Viable for us as well because India has got DVB-T broadcasts as well. About XBOX 1. Microsoft: They are money suckers. They will suck every peeny till you have an empty pocket. They charge you huge load of money without any reasons: a) XBOX 64 MB Memory Card: Now a days we get 4 gb memory card for less. Pure waste of money. 20 GB SATA HDD: 5150, You can get 120 gb hdd in 2500 man in market. c) XBOX live is paid: Look they charge you for playing games (that you bought) d) XBOX controller battery pack: You all now how much a pare of rechargeable battery costs. e) Play and Charge Kit: Other console doesnt need it. Microsoft provides this to suck more. f) XBOX cables: You have to buy proprietary cable to get which anything above than SD and Stereo. Whereas in PS3 buy whatever HDMI cable or Optical cable you want and plug it directly. 2. Still DVD: The evolution pattern is Punch Card->Tape->Cartridge->CD->DVD->Blue Ray Microsoft wants to stop evolution in gaming. You simply cant ignore the fact that Blue Ray contains 7 times more data than DVD. Then you may ask all popular games are on XBOX 360. I have two answers i) First, Not all popular games are available. Specially those whose size cant be handled by pity DVD9. Like MGS4 (50GB). Even though Microsoft tries to force this, then it becomes Lost Odyssey (4 disks) and many other games as well. ii) Due to Microsoft's limitation, Studios involved doing cross platform games they restrict their limit to 8 GB. So even if the Game is available on PS3 it wont be appealing. Look at the PS3 exclusives, none are less than 30 GB. And they sometimes contains lot more than games. Case in point Drake's Fortune: 1) Full Making (around 1 hour, in HD) 2) Multiple Sound formats, DOLBY and DTS 3) Naughty Dog feature (around half an hour, in HD) All this is not possible with DVD9. Face it XBOX is restricting game play experience with this. Although pirates are happy with this. Download what ever you want. 3. RROD (Red Ring Of Death): Do I need to mention more of this . 4. Power BRICK: My GOD this is one more blood sucker. Even on standby this will suck your electricity bill. PS3 gives integrated power supply with a switch at the back. 5. Copy Protection (Even for personal stuff): Microsoft claims this as entertainment device and you cant copy your mp3 on xbox HDD, what kind of entertainment device does this? I will add more.

Sumanth_Champion Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 ps3 rockz. And the best part of buying a ps3 is you get a Blue ray Player also which makes the console almost free of cost. Blue Ray Disks are the future and entire world is moving towards it. to Sony. Also it is very quiet and very stable console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

satanicsaint Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 ^ ^ Agree with H3lios. For me games drive the hardware I buy. I got the 360 just because I wanted to play GTA4 and i got to know that it would be easier to get hold of 360 copy of the game than PS3, and yeah its much cheaper.

CarbonCore Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 If the console sales better doesn't mean it has better hardware, look at PS2 or Wii for eg. I think the whole argument is about which console has more hardware features for the money, no one mentioned games or sales figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastAvenger Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 How do you think the PSOne even managed to sell way back in the day,against technically more proficient consoles? They had the software support to back it up. Why do you even thing the 360 sold out in Japan last week? Because of Tales of Vesperia alone. If you think people are going to buy a console just because of its hardware you're wrong. It is the games and games alone. +1 Games and only games matter. RRoD is old story. With the new Falcons and the price cut coming out next month, i don't see how Microsoft loses. Hell! Even Final Fantasy 13 is now being ported to X360. While people out there can make fun of it on multiple discs but the truth remains that a very big exclusive of PS3 is no more exclusive. I don't want a comp, i want a console on which i can game. Linux is useless on PS3. I mean if you want to install linux then why even bother buying a PS3 for it. Hell any 8 year old hardware can run Linux. and... Word coming from the Leipzig Games Convention is that Microsoft has an Xbox 360 60GB HDD bundle planned for Europe and, relatively speaking, it's pretty decently priced. also just so you know Tape Drives are still used in enterprises. 5. Great Sound Support: While xbox360 just supports DOLBY and DOLBY WMA PS3 comes with : DTS, DOLBY,DOLBYHD, DTS HD,LPCM5.1,AAC,AAC5.1,AAC7.1 I can easily bet that 95% of PS3 owners over here don't even have the hardware to enjoy that and add another 80% who don't have 1080p Supported TV. Its nice that Blu-Ray is bundled in PS3 and i do agree that PS3 offers more hardware features over Xbox360 but if majority people don't have the equipment to enjoy it then its useless.

If you think people are going to buy a console just because of its hardware you're wrong. It is the games and games alone. its not about what sells where and why....im not talking about the majority of people who buy consoles, im talking about me....to me its a matter of comfort on a particular platform to give u an example, i bought skate for the xbox 360 after reading the countless reviews that told me it was the superior version. i didnt like playing it on the 360 so i exchanged my 360 version for the PS3 version from reaper. the reviews were right...the 360 version was superior but even with framerate issues i played skate more on the PS3.....its a platform im more comfortable with...and i had my 360 for a year before i had a PS3 so i have played on it a fair amount peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarbonCore Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Yeah I'm definitely looking forward to falcon 360 and 60GB model coming to India with price cut.

harrydeo Posted August 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 Games and sales are always a two way camp. This post is not about the games this is about consoles. Just to differentiate between core values of Microsoft and Sony. Microsoft has been a blood sucker from a long time, it is not just about XBOX it is about most of the thing they do. They Kill competition & Suck Money. Here are few examples from Microsoft's past behavior : Poor product Lifecycle:[/b] XBOX 1 is dead but. PS2 is still selling like charm, not only that PS2 gets new block busters as well. Apart from gaming, Windows XP was ended forcefully to support Vista sales. When the product is discontinued, the support will end in a few years. When Mainstream support ends, only paid technical support is be offered by Microsoft, and when the Extended Support has ended, Microsoft will stop offering drivers and updates for the product. The moment Microsoft will release XBOX 720, XBOX 360 will be like a dead machine. I wont be writing much as there is already available in wikipedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Microsoft (I have contributed a lot in this). What I am saying is they locked everything. From Hard drive to number of times you can save your XBOX live data (that is actually 1 only). Even if you are building your own games you have to pay Microsoft to make it appear on XBOX360. See http://creators.xna.com/. http://creators.xna.com/en-us/membership. Also before I forgot, that service is not available in INDIA. So Microsoft's motto: Suck Money where ever you can. and sometimes even at unexpected places. But i salute the guys who have hacked into the console very early. And came up with firmware like iExtreme 1.4. This will teach microsoft to play the games by rule.
