So guys, lets begin the match between these consoles and remember, price will not be mentioned because the ps3 costs more because it has a built in blu ray player.
(We dont want to know if you can't afford it, we want to see which is best).

Aw come on man, is this really necessary? All are great in their own respective ways. What's the point of such a discussion? It'll just cause a hell lot of flaming and then a mod will just come in a close the thread.
As for your argument of price, money is the main deciding factor when your buy a console innit? Not everybody has bottomless pits for pockets. ;)

Yea but i just didn't want price to be mentioned because i want to see which console is most liked, not which one you cant afford or whatever.
I hope the results of the poll be interesting so everyone start voting and posting! ;)

This thread was put up days ago, here we go again...

Dont worry, the wii is involved in this one.

I like it..... this poll thing is cool , i've never done that in here...

PS3.... all the way...
let me know when the wii allows you to install windows XP in it...
then well talk...

Since when does the PS3 allow that?! I thought it only allowed you to install Linux with a few tweaks! If you have any credible links, would you post them? I'd like to try on my PS3 if it's really possible.

Yea idk about winXP either on a PS3 never heard of it B4

Cant wait for COD4 and MGS4 on PS3...

Sorry no links so far ....

A friend of mine from work is the true wiz , i am not a Linux user , but apparently
this operative system allows you to run windows Xp as
an application .

I went to his house and he showed me what he did.

tell you what... i will talk to him , to see if can make some sort
of an instrucction manual in to how he did it ... and
i will post it on a thread.

So far it's between the ps3 and wii, check the poll results there are no xbox votes surprisingly.

Happy voting!

Ok now this is a challange you must remeber that the xbox doesnt use a basic operation sysem it uses lynux most consoles do, and ATI is responsible for Xbox but that is one thing they got wright . NVidia put there card into the PS3 but Ps3 doesnt have the same amount of memory as The xBox, so there is advantage one . and most pc games will also b made for xbox games like boishock wount because they use a large amount of memeory and the PS3 isnt capable of that ,SOOOOO I vote Xbox360

Eany one want more info that i can change you mind mail me at warren.kramer@exxaro.com
thanx

Ok chill but the ps3 has a built in blu ray player which is ahead of hd-dvd in sales and a motion sensitive controller.I dont want an arguement in this thread because it will be closed so xbox fans you can post but dont cause an arguement ;)
NOTE:You can say the advantages of the xbox.

hmmmmmm, you said dont use price wright ok now im not going to pryce the xbox or the ps3 , , instead i'll pryce the games , , , whats cheaper xbox or ps3??? and remember blue ray is expensive and Hd dilivers more quality than blue ray , , but lets leave that ok i'll be xbox and you ps3 deal ?? ok your on buddy

I dont know why but i never got to like any version of the Xbox.
I noticed people going crazy over it when it first came out , but i allways knew
that the xbox will never be on the same level against the Play Station.

...you guys rememberthe first one...
The most uncomfortable controllers ever designed.
And almost every game that was released , also had a
version for the PS2.

no argument there rolf but Xbox took the time to create a new genaration of the gameing consoles. it's improved from meany tasks it's got high devinition memory and grafic memory wich the ps3 doesnt have allas the xbox has a ****ty fx card ATI it has the support of memery. but hey let the best console win mates!

PS xbox is createing a 420 soon jipi

let me know when the wii allows you to install windows XP in it...
then well talk...
I doubt the PS3 can run Windows XP. It uses those Cell microprocessors which are partially based on RISC rather than CISC x86 processors. Windows XP will not naitively install on a system with a RISC processor.

well done sum 1 smart ok watch

3 symmetrical cores running at 3.2 GHz each
2 hardware threads per core; 6 hardware threads total
1 VMX-128 vector unit per core; 3 total
128 VMX-128 registers per hardware thread
1 MB L2 cache

there is the specs on the prosessors in a xbox360 so yes lynux and mac even xp will run on it , , ,

good day further

I think that Microsoft should stay where it is dominating, Computers. PS3 the the best all bow down to its power!!!!!!!:darth:

Well i have no idea of , what a RISC or CISC x86.... are...
but all i can say is that i saw The OS running
(and running at a very decent speed), and i also remember it
because it was freaking awsome ... this even got me thinking
into switching over to linux.

Ok I did some research, apparently you CAN run XP on a PS3. But not naitively. So, yes, it can be done, but its emulated.

Here is a link with discussion: http://www.digg.com/videos/gaming/Win_XP_Running_on_PS3_Video_

Wow - so much incorrect information here already. I hope no one uses this thread as a definitive source of information. Also, please try to use proper grammar and spell checking (or at least try to spell words correctly) when posting.

Everything I said was correct, except the part that you can't run XP on a PS3. But then I corrected myself in an ensuing post, with an explanation and a link. :cool:

Running Xp on a competitors machine...does sounds sketchy esp when i never heard of a 360 doing so.

And Technically speaking the PS3 is better...the GPU is made by nvidia....ATI makes the 360 GPU unless that changed recently.

The PS3 has more tech ability than the 360...its games ad blue ray disc can hold more than HD DVD and you have to purchase an external 2 play them anywayz so do the math....http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/hd-dvd3.htm

The link proves that blue ray is larger...20GB larger :D

Ok look you also need to remember that you cant just run an oprating system like windows on PS3 , , , ,or actualy eany console you need the corect operating system and the operating system must be compatible with the hardware and the system systemstruchture. so lets pick another topic ,:-)

ok , lets look at it like this everybody has there own likeing wright ? ok so what are we truying to do lets let pepole vote freely and not smash tere hopes or wants , Let the best console win! :-)

I agree, but we will need more votes to see which console is best.So if you haven't voted, vote now.We will hopefully get an interesting result.

The problem is everyone is burned out on console threads. They happen every week or 2, and are all very similar. Then when you come in to one and see spelling that is either intentionally done wrong, or written by a 7 year old it is disheartening and discourages further participation in the thread or its poll.

Frankly, I'm suprised it has 9 votes so far.

Well it's not my fault poeple spell incorrectly so lets carry on.
Ps:vote in the poll if you haven't already, i am not just saying it to SNGX1275, im saying it to all the viewers who haven't voted.

Lolz...can we ramble on techically?

Im just a hardware freak....computers and cars prove hardware power.

But yea i do my research and it predicts that all 3 systems will have their success....including computers which is not mentioned...possible to add another option poll for PC?

just a thought

How do you add another option.
Come on there are more then 13 members in techspot (of course) so vote and we will have an interesting result if more poeple vote.
Thanks to the poeple who voted!

You can`t add another poll option.

Only admins/mods can do that.

Since this thread was clearly intended to discuss the merits or otherwise of the 3 main consoles, I don`t see any need for a poll edit.

Regards Howard :)

why hasnt anybody brough wii into the discussion?

its true, the wii is not much of a stepup from gamecube (Graphically), but at least Nintendo experiments around with different playability to get more people that arent gamers wanting to play it, instead of the traditonal Nintendo Nerds hooked on Mario and Zelda.

I have a wii and the idea is quite revolutionary, and some of the games are outright fun as hell, even though a lot of its games arent as cracked up as they seem to be. The potential is there at least.

My friend has Xbox360 and i gotta say the games for it are really good, especially the Halo series, even though i hate the Xbox controls. They made this crazy ping pong game for it with amazing graphics and gameplay, and they made it for the wii too but the comparison didnt measure up since the graphics went way down and they changed the controls from pushing a button to swinging ur arm. Not nearly as realistic as I thought it would be.

But wait until they make that Free movement Star Wars Game for the Wii. That will be amazing...hopefully.

In conclusion, I find the most satisfying gaming for the PC (if you have a good system). thats my opinion

Thanks nissan..i think pc should be added IMO

but IDK about the Wii its not as versatile as the PS3 or 360

When i have the money ima own all 3 and a gaming PC...thats the only real way 2 go

Thats why i asked if i could add another option but only mods are allowed to do that so i guess we can't.Anyway this is about consoles.

Well consoles are becomng more like PC's.

Anyone who is viewig this own the Elite??

Im getting it in less than 3 weeks :D...ot excited about paying for the internet tho...thanks to namco not making Ace combat 6 for PS3 I have to budget to buy it sooner lol

what is Elite?



and if your talking about console comparisons, id say xbox360 is overall the best. The Wii console is a completely different gaming experience, because it is so unlike any other console. Its like comparing Lasertag to Gameboy. Both are fun in their own different ways, like the xbox and the wii.

But id still vote for xbox jsut cuz they make really good games.

I got to say the wii is better. Its just more fun. My brother-in-law owns one and we play every time I see him. My niece who is 4 yrs old can beat us all at the bowling on that thing. I don't like xbox because of its controls. They are to big. I can't say they don't make good games though. I did play a wrestling game for it that was awesome. The PS3 is just to darn expensive. I am not going to pay $500 for just a gaming console. Sure it can play movies but if I am going to spend that much I would be upgrading my PC.

Well the Ps3 is more than just worth its price

Elite=the XBOX 360 Elite FYI, I will own one soon. I cant say much about the Wii because I dont own one and will not buy one. All three consoles have their audiance that they are appealing to.

Im'a PS fan..and the Poll shows that most people believe in sony even though their marketing strategy seems to not be working all that well.

Good work lads, for the 24 votes(including me), keep it up.

I guess there are quite a bit of Sony fans here eh?
Mmm....the xbox is creeping up to victory,with the wii right behind and the ps3 approaching the bend.Will the xbox pass, or will the wii knock it out of it's way and start tailgating the ps3 until the next bend...

Man vote in the poll poeple, it's getting boring these days and are you xbox and wii fans just going to stand there and let the ps3 beat you???

That`s three consecutive posts you`ve made in this thread, without any response. Could it be, members just really aren`t that interested. :p

Regards Howard :)

I think it is just that it is too early to tell which console is going to prevail...by 2009-2010 u should know.

I finally got my Elite...now i need some games...and 360 ppl got any suggestions?

True, but i was just curious to find out. How is your elite, is it good?

Have not even played it yet :( Waiting for the right time so I can waste at least 8 hrs (a work day) on it :haha:

Have not even played it yet Waiting for the right time so I can waste at least 8 hrs (a work day) on it

careful it might overheat and break, now that wouldn't be good would it, 'RRoD'

*Pats PS3 that hasn't shown a sign of breaking and never will*

:D:D

Sinnce u mentioned that...I have my PS3 and 360 in my entertainment stand...it is enclosed so i would say there is about 2 feet in the back for air flow space and if im lucky mayb 2 feet on the right side...while playing my PS3 my Fan way loud like a jet lol and I got me worried cuz it got awful warm in that area...Now should I buy like a system stacker and have them both out in the open rather than inside an Tv stand??? it is similar to this stand but i have a 30'inch Samsung 1080I HDTV http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7632706&type=product&id=1130986714617

uhhhh yeah... it would be a lot better to have it out in the open rather than enclosed,

it's not going to over heat to the point of breaking though, the ps3 has a cut off zone, if it gets too hot it gives you a warning that its about to shut down then i think after a minute or so it shuts down then it doesnt turn back on untill it's cool enough inside it.

Lolz yea the Wii and 360 are catching up to the PS3 lolz

I will order http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7686603&type=product&id=1134703785585 in a week or so then..PS3 better fit on it with the 360 :haha:

Pats and PS3 are the best..i can live off them:)

Pats

What are Pats?
