I do not possess near the technological knowledge that most of you appear to have, but I can nod at the 360 for being more l33t based on what I feel is more significant to me, the consumer. I currently mostly only play Halo 3 on the 360, and have just recently purchased a Phillips 1080p HDTV to finally get the most out of it. Sadly, I have an older model of the 360, so I'm stuck with HD through composite. I'm thinking about getting a newer 360 so I can use the HDMI cable, because although it looks AMAZING and the motion is very smooth, it seems to have little hiccups here and there, which I think is attributed to the composite cable running @ 1080p. Some would argue the composite will not work with 1080p, but the xbox video settings are set @ 1080p and I'm getting a very crisp (but sometimes choppy) picture. When I say choppy, I mean the game will be running smooth and just lose frame rate at inconsistent times.

Anyway, a buddy of mine owns a ps3 and I own a 360. I've gone through many many games on the 360 and enjoyed them all very much (Halo 3, Crackdown, Mass Effect, Fear, Oblivion, Perfect Dark, Burnout, KoF: Circle of Doom, Rainbow 6: Vegas) My friend has 3 games on his PS3 and I honestly don't see any difference in the quality of the games. We have played Ninja Gaiden, MX vs ATX, and Call of Duty 4 on his ps3. As far as graphics are concerned, They look pretty much identical - performance as well. We were only able to compare cod4 on both systems and there was virtually no difference.

The bottom line, from my experience and in my very humble opinion, is the 360 is better suited for more hardcore gamers. There is a much larger library of games (which may be because it's been out longer I'll admit that) There is a seemingly infinite and accessible multiplayer community (xbox live) which by the way, at $50 a year is quite reasonable considering you're getting a service that is constantly being maintained, marketplace, easy to use buddy system; That's what you're paying for. Yes, the ps3 multiplayer is free, but you don't get any of that extra stuff with it, which may be important to some and not to others. I play most of my games online because I am a competitive gamer who just can't settle for scripted AI all the time.

I haven't used the ps3 as much, so I will admit that my knowledge is limited, but from what I have read and seen, it seems like ps3 owners are really just getting a more limited pc that can play blue ray movies. It's got some nice little tricks if you own a psp, and serves better than the 360 as a media center, but looking at it from a game playing perspective (which is what I thought consoles are made for) the
360 wins.

I've tried to digest all that technical info, but have come to the conclusion that it doesn't make a difference to me if the end products aren't providing a noticeable difference.

that pic of the dell pc comparing it to the elite made me lol]]>Apr 12th 2008 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/Apr 20th 2008 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/Jun 22nd 2008 6:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/

Actually, many people consider the xbox 360s processor to be superior to the PS3, as well as the fact that the xbox has dedicated video ram.]]>Apr 26th 2007 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/
Actually the ps3 had dedicated ram and the Xbox uses shared video. So far the Xbox 360 is only just matching the first gen games of the PS3. What does that say to you? And most programmers are just learning the ins and outs of the cell processor still.

That's not true at all. This isn't an opinion thing, it's either fact or fiction. And it's a fact that the PlayStation 3 is a technologically superior machine compared to the Xbox 360. Both the Xenon and CBEA are based on the POWER architecture. The Cell's PPE alone is already one-third of the Xenon's total power, and then you've got the seven SPEs. And based on calculations, the Cell is around twice as powerful as the Xenon, doing more than 2 TFLOPS.

Also, the PlayStation 3 actually DOES have dedicated VRAM. The Xbox 360 is actually the one that has to ALWAYS share RAM. The Xbox 360 relies on 512MB of GDDR3 RAM for all its memory. On the other hand, the PlayStation 3 uses 256MB of XDR DRAM and and 256MB of GDDR3 RAM, used by the Cell and RSX respectively. However, each of the processors can also access each other's RAM as needed.

Overall, the PlayStation 3 is indeed more 1337. The Xbox 360 Elite may be elite by Xbox standards, but it pales in comparison to the PlayStation 3. The PlayStation 3 has newer HDMI, internal Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, superior processor, next-generation optical storage, internal memory card readers, et cetera.

The piano black colour suits the PlayStation 3 better than the matte black suits the Xbox 360. And the PlayStation 3 has the most kickass games (Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, Final Fantasy XIII, Gran Turismo 5, et cetera).]]>Apr 26th 2007 5:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/Apr 26th 2007 7:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/Apr 27th 2007 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/Apr 30th 2007 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/

When you buy the Wifi($100)and the HD-DVD($200)drive, it actually cost more than the PS3. Probably the only right thing you said is the games(which won't be in late 2007). Better games than currently will come out for the PS3.

Anyway, I vote for the PS3 because it is actually cheaper and give the technical edge over the 360 elite. Blue-Ray is selling 3-1 over the HD-DVD. It also serve as a basic computer. And the hard drive is laptop compatible, so you can buy a 150+ gigs for the PS3. More buddys to play with(7 players is really odd)! More USB ports! And one of the finest graphics the world has to offer before PC start taking over again. ]]>May 21st 2007 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/
Except that the cell processor is not as state of the art as many people think. It is very hard for programmers to tap into the potential. It is VERY unlikely that the PS3 will deliver better graphics, or even graphics that are equal to the xbox.

I used to be unbiased towards the next gen consoles...I even routed for the PS3 at one point. But the facts have me leaning towards the 360.

"Don't forget Blu-Ray either. While not a necessarily liked feature, it is quite a lot more |337 than the standard DVD drive in the Elite."

Well I like HD DVD, and I think that the blu ray drive will quickly become obsolete. However, you are correct, The 360 only has a dvd drive, which is already obsolete.]]>Apr 26th 2007 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/Apr 26th 2007 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/Apr 28th 2007 6:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/Apr 26th 2007 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/Apr 26th 2007 2:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/Apr 26th 2007 3:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/Apr 26th 2007 2:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/Apr 26th 2007 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/Apr 26th 2007 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/26/black-on-black-xbox-360-elite-vs-ps3-which-is-more-1337/
