In today's match we have Microsoft on our left weighing at 14lbs. and on our right Sony weighing at 11lbs. --LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE--


Today I will be arguing that the "36o"(Xbox 360) is better then the "PS3"(Playstation 3). In my post I will determine which of these systems has better games. There will be an argument on which one of these systems has better online features. In addition to that it will include an argument discussing the counsel’s quality and how it can be used for more than just games. Finally we are going sum up everything in the last paragraph.

Let’s start with talking about the main thing in all systems, which is online play. The online for the 360 is called Xbox Live (also known as "Live) and for the PS3 it is Playstation Network (also known as "PSN"). In one hand Gamers who love to play Multiplayer games will choose Xbox live simply because it has a great multiplayer system and it’s easy to use. On the other hand PSN has also has a multiplayer system but unlike the live it’s not as great and not as easy to use. Live has user friendly layout in which you have your friends list, voice chats, and game invites. In the PSN there is also a layout close to that except it’s not as player friendly as the live layout. To top it of Live has Windows Live messenger and Video chat. Moving on, next on our list is gaming and quality.

Many gamers who don’t have either a 360 or PS3, think that PS3 has better games then the 360. The fact is PS3 games only look good but the game play isn’t as great as the 360 games. So if you like eye candy get PS3 games; if you want games with great game play and good graphics (but not as good as the PS3) get 360 games. Now its time to talk about the quality of the counsels, meaning what other stuff dose the counsel do instead of play games and how good are those qualities. In the 360 you have Windows Live messenger so you can chat with other people not just fellow gamers; the 360 is able to play DVDs, download episodes of your favorite show, download movies, and they are coming out with 2 new things; 1st item: Netflix, meaning if you have a Netflix account you can now watch movies straight from your 360; 2nd item: Avatars, now you will be able to have your own avatar and customize him to look like you or anything you want it to look like. In the PS3 you have a Blu-ray player which is not in a 360, it has blue tooth and Wi-Fi networking built-in; it plays DVDs, and has a new thing coming for it that is like the Avatars in the 360. So lets us conclude what we have read.

In conclusion both the systems are great but the 360 weighed heavier on the scale (literally). The 360 has better online multiplayer options and games then the PS3 and it is user friendly which gives it thumbs up. The games for the 360 have great game play but they lack the graphics of the PS3. Finally the 360 has great features other then gaming; though the PS3 has Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Blu-ray it just wasn’t enough compared to the 360's downloadable content. The score broke down to 360 having: 3 points and the PS3 having: 1 point. 3 points are the online play, game play and system quality for 360 and 1 point on the PS3 is for game graphics. The 360 wins with a K.O.
