From the videos I have seen of both and looking at the Specs, I would say the PS3 is better. The main downfall for PS3 is it comes out 6months to a year after the XBox 360.

thats a Microsoft they limited the game type to be use. ooh heard it before from them we be coming out with Halo 2 soon then before it do hit the street it be only for Xbox. a lot of us was in (windows/mac) hoping it be a Cdrom Version for the Windows System but that drop like a bomb.

Microsoft can die when it come to games. Halo 2 i don't care if it not a Cdrom it dead.

on the Other hand Sony PS2 & PS3 they have a whole line up when it come to games Cd's to be play, besides playing DVD on their system to watch movies and do other things with it. music Cd i don't know maybe too if it can play DVD i can't see why not a Music Cd's

sad thing about Halo 2 is they had a golden egg and they **** it out by limiting it to only X-Box were they could have made more money and sold more Cd's world wide for:
Windows>$$$$$$$$
Mac>$$$$$$$$$$$$
PS2>$$$$$$$$$$$$
other system and console type games>$$$$$$$$$

Microsoft marketing dept must really suck when it come to think of making money with a big hit. thats money lost they could have made billion of USD-Dollars more in come by making it so much bigger for the fans. will i think Bill gates must be really like to lose more money then making it.

im a fan of the Xbox, i had a PS2 and wasnt impressed at all with it, the Xbox is much faster (current one) compared to the PS2.

i havnt read up on the PS3. only the Xbox but this debate is abit like the AMD v Intel.. lol

i wont be spending £300 for one though , wait a year and get it for less than £200..

also anyone who is getting one for some1 or themselves for Xmas, Microsoft is having supply problems so dont promise the kids anything .. lol

You have to remember you're looking at those pics on a computer, the quality will downgrade once you get it on your TV unless you have an expensive plasma/HD TV.

PS3!

XBoxes are for nerds. PS2/PS3s are for blokes. Can spend days on end drinking beer with your mates while playing the best games you have. Seven players I heard? Why seven anyway? How's the screen gonna look? What if you have a teeny tiny TV set? That's the only thing that bothers me about the PS3. Other than that, A WORK OF ART! Ps2/PS3 ALL THE WAY!!!

eek

I've been told by my contact in our local GAME store that the X-Box 360 may well be in short supply on it's release date of December here in the U.K. and that GAME have stopped taking deposits as a result.
