So for those of you who don't know me well I am a big gaming fan I love all games from RPGs to sports games. I have pretty much every game system known to man. It used to be simple when telling people what game system you liked or which one you chose to buy. If you liked Sonic you bought Sega if you liked Mario you bought Nintendo. Then it came to the playstation the next gen gaming console of its time which made it a one way decision for most people. Shortly after microsoft released the XBox and well from there it only made it more difficult to make a decision on what game system to buy. It went from being a decision on what games you liked to what system was more appealing to you. Questions such as which controller do i like better?, would i rather have the trigger or R2 button?, Which online play fits me better? came into play in the decision making process. Personally depending on what kind of game I am playing depends on which system i prefer. For when I am playing first person shooters and sports games i usually tend to lean more towards the XBox 360 because the controller tends to be ergonomic for my hands while im playing those types of games. For just about every other type of game i usually prefer the playstation 3 for everything else. The other big thing that i like to look at is online play. Both systems have a good online setup and good online play(especially HALO 3!!) but the biggest difference is that i have to pay a yearly fee just to get on to XBox live. So naturally i'm going to use PS3 while I am playing online. I get more movies to download better games to download(i.e. Fat Princess) quicker connection, faster downloads and not to mention the playstation 3 has built in wireless(saving you at least $100). Need i go further with online benefits. Now possibly one of the top reasons why people buy the PS3 over the XBox 360 is the built in Blu-Ray disc player. Personally i was a huge fan of the HD dvd before it got pushed off the market by sony with the blu-ray disc. Though XBox went about it the wrong way they never built it into there system and you had to spend an extra $150-$200 to get the drive to hook up to the XBox. Unfortunately i do like Xbox but it picked a dead technology to implement into its system and in order to use it you had to buy a separate device. Now just to put the icing on the cake for Sony the processing power that the PS3 is capable of is twice that of what the XBox 360 is capable of doing. Meaning faster load times more going on all at once in the game. The visual capabilities are far beyond what the XBox is ever able to do. Developers are constantly pushing the limits of the PS3 try to make games with better and more realistic graphics.
So overall the PS3 is for the most part the system of choice for me because overall it was a well planned and thought out system which took a chance in pushing the limits of gaming and ended up pulling through.The XBox still holds a dear place in my heart but in my opinion it will never come close to the PS3. So leave a comment and tell us what your favorite system is and why.
