but man although i won a ps3 i wish i could use a xbox controller with it.
Luckily I use one with my PC.
one of the wired variants.!!

But now let's turn to the User Interface
According to me the PS3 UI is excellent.
The old Xbox UI was awesome but the new Kinect Experience actually sucks and that was a reason why I did'nt buy the 360.
Anyways what are your views people??

You are right man!
I freaking laughed at all the idiotic people that Xbox has sold more than PS3 by 0.6 million units. (PS3- 40.6 million units sold Xbox-41.2 million units sold)
But since xbox is here for 5 yrs and ps3 for 4 yrs we see that PS3 has sold more units per anum at around 10.15 millionn per year to 8.2 million units per year of the xbox!!

Use some Brain Xbox fanboys!!

@ Rohan_B

I absolutely agree with you buddy. Ps3 is getting stronger and stronger with newer titles in the horizon. Getting closer in achieving a phenomenal game library like the ps2 did in the previous generation. The sales figure are a testament to this. Nobody had ever predicted that PS3 will be such a huge success when it was first launched at such a hefty price tag.

Ps3 exclusives are truly gems and breathtaking to look at. Same can be said about gameplay. 360 also has some gems like gears of war, halo. Cannot say mass effect anymore cause its in the ps3 now as well. Its very few compared to ps3.

Even valve ceo GABE NEWELL realised his folly of criticising PS3 in the past and now has announced PORTAL 2 to be the best version for PS3 having cross chat between pc and ps3.

The games matter most for a console and PS3 is just delivering the same and has got a huge number of titles lined. Most of them are exclusives.

Now NGP is joining the bandwagon and imo sony has created another technical marvel.

Although I havn't own any consoles ( :(), I want to share an experience.

Day before yesterday, I tried the Kinect of XBox, in a showroom in a mall. And boy, it was awesome.
There was another man playing before me. When I asked to try it, he just stepped out and I took his place, in front of the kinect sensors. It took no time, on part of Kinect to recognize me, and responsiveness of kinect was incredible. I played bowling in front of the kinect. The hand movement was consistent with every movement I was doing.

With the power of my imagination, I envisaged a bowling ball in my hands, and with a feel of being in a real bowling alley, I threw the ball to the pins. The avatar followed me exactly, and to a surprise I was able to fall every pins in 2nd try! On one try, I threw the ball so hard, that it went ahead, creating a dent on the wooden path to the pins! (I was glad, it was all virtual). I was trying so hard, that one of the person even said me, to take it a little easy :p

As a bonus, I even did a little dance in the end, and the avatar on the screen followed all the exact moves. ;) I was dazzled with the technology which brought controller-less gaming to our world, and at the same time, was overwhelmed with the possibility of the same.
Dont know about PS Move, but Kinect sure was one hell of an experience.

Lastly, just before I thought a staff was about to inquire, I left my avatar, and stepped out of the showroom.

Playstation move can also do bowling but with the controller. Works as a wiimote.
But sony's approach is more hardcore and with kinect, microsoft went in the casual direction. Only more software support will judge its fate. But i think it will be a success,atleast in america.

Btw, found a nice tutorial for upgrading ps3's internal hdd as its regular 2.5inch unlike microsoft's proprietary hdd. Check THIS.

^ XBox had proprietary HDD? So we cant use it to store any other personal data?

^^ What i meant was ps3's hardrive is more flexible and way easier and cheaper to upgrade as it uses conventional laptop harddrives. It does not even void the warranty when changing hdd.

Console hardrives aren't meant to store personal data but to store savegames, download online games and install game titles and run it from harddrive for better performance.

I was still wondering, IF it has the ability to store, if we wanted to use it like a portable HDD.

both have their certain pros and cons

so in the end it just depends upon the buyer's choice,requirements and his wallet's weight
