Re: }}}} PS3 Vs XBOX {{{{

In seemingly stark contrast to Sony, whose backwards compatibility stance is moving, um, backwards, Microsoft keeps chugging right along in adding compatible titles to the 360, today announcing an impending update that will "unlock" a further 84 games. According to Joystiq, there are now a total of 465 original Xbox discs that will work on the 360, all supposedly given new life in 720p and 1080i with anti-aliasing. Hit the Read link for the full list of newly-compatible titles, and not to ruin the surprise or anything, but we think that fans of Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee and Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball Max'd will be particularly pleased.

I like PS3 more. Its not just a gaming console but a complete entertainment device. You can install Linux on it, browse the net, listen to music, watch hi-def movies and of course, play games. Soon it also act as a PVR after a firmware upgrade.

Re: }}}} PS3 Vs XBOX {{{{

But why was the pc option added to poll? Its after all PS3 v/s XBOX 360 thread.

PS3 is the definite winner,

People have been moaning for long of how expensive the PS3 is, well you can get a modded PS3 for around 24K, and with bill and warranty a 60GB PS3 costs 30K whereas an XBOX 360 premium costs 27K,

And in a PS3 you get a Blu-Ray drive which is completely next-gen and one can even load Linux on their PS3 and use it like a PC,

The XBOX isnt even completely nextgen(has only a DVD drive) and developers have already used up 90% of the 360s resources,
Whereas only 30% of the PS3s power has been used,

And the PS3 offers complete backward compatibility with the 60GB PS3s, but the 360 does'nt offers very limited backward compatibility,

So with prices almost equal and since the PS3 offers much-much more at the relatively same price as that of the 360, the PS3 is the definite winner.

It's also a myth where these XBOX fans keep saying that there are no games for the PS3. They might have been right 6-9 months ago. But this expired fact no longer hold good. PS3 is gaining back it's ground as expected.

Re: }}}} PS3 Vs XBOX {{{{

^i like it..

Yes clearly PS3 is gaining over xbox

I included pc simply to see how pc fights against these two monsters...but turns out pc is favored one for many...even when a seperate thread is saying pc days are outnumbered...
Now i am CONFUSED...:-S

^^ That's because, who ever voted for a PC here doesn't own either of the consoles, so they made their blind choise

But those who own either one of these consoles surely has a computer, so they can distinguish better than PC only users.

And dont forget about the cell proc.

Which not at all optimized , whereas the 360 GPU is very much optimized .

so the performance u get from the 360 GPU is greater than what u get from the 'crude' PS3 Cell .

The CEll processor is optimized for "streaming Floating-point" calculations , which make up barely 5% of all the operations , whereas the majority are load, store, integer, branch, etc . PS3’s CPU is optimized for streaming floating-point, with 87.5% of its cores good for streaming floating-point and nothing else

So this makes the cell well suited for video playback and networked waveform analysis .

So for game programmers , the Xbox's Optimized , Unified Shader Architecture GPU is much better.

I think some one here mentioned that xbox is dying out or running out of air..

Regarding PS3's processor, this might give some insight regarding its power and all those BS not being optimized bla bla...

Dude, plz don't waste your time trying to prove this to the MS guys. Those Xbox fans are as hardcore as those Windows fanboys. I've seen many like them. No point trying to prove to them, they'll come back with some other sh1t.

What's wrong with you dude? Providing links to some crappy blog which has no source or credentials? Probably another MS fanboy site. It's been clearly in the news nowadays that Blue-Ray is way ahead of HD-DVD in sales. Still some try to bring in their own twist with different falvours.. lol.. when will these fanboys stop?

Black Friday? More like Blu Friday. According to Nielsen VideoScan, US sales of Blu-ray discs swelled to a nearly 3:1 lead over HD DVD in the first official week of the holiday shopping season.

According to the just-issued VideoScan numbers, 72.6% of all high-definition discs purchased last week were Blu-ray, versus just 27.4% for HD DVD.
