Why Did I Choose The Xbox 360 over the PS3?
Why did I choose the Xbox 360 over the PS3?
I finally decided to get the Xbox 360 Pro 60GB bundle after deliberating between the Xbox 360 and the PS3 for a few weeks. So, what made me decide on the Xbox 360?
- Price – the Xbox 360 is cheaper than the PS3.
- Games – the Xbox 360 has more games than the PS3. Multi-platform games also look better on the Xbox 360 than the PS3. Check out the comparison on GameSpot. Comparison Round 1 (Dec, 2006), Round 2 (June 2007), Round 3 (May 2008), and Round 4 (Nov 2008).
- Blu-Ray player not needed – I have no intention of watching Blu-Ray movies on my 29″ 4:3 aspect ratio CRT TV. I won’t be noticing the high definition details in Blu-Ray movies on my TV anyway.
I do recognize a couple of Xbox 360 disadvantages when compared to the PS3.
- I will need to pay the Xbox Live Gold subscription fee for online multiplayer games compared to the free Playstation Network (PSN) for PS3 online multiplayer gaming.
- The PS3 hard drive can be used to store your own movies and mp3 files, but the Xbox 360 hard drive cannot be used in that manner. I need to connect my external hard drive or USB thumb drives to the Xbox 360 to watch movies and listen to mp3 files. Not a big deal actually. Watching movies on a video game console? I have a DVD for that. Listening to music? Do I have to switch on the Xbox 360 and my TV just to listen to music?
I’m buying the Xbox 360 to play video games. So, let’s focus on the main thing. Playing and enjoying my video games.
