Are you a gamer? if you are, you probably have either a PS3, possibly a PS3 Slim, or an Xbox 360, possibly an Xbox 360 Elite. I am going to be comparing the two consoles for you and tell you which one I think is best.

Pricing

Both the consoles are priced at $300 with 120GB hard drives, however, the Xbox 360 can be bought without a hard drive for only $200 and while supplies last you can also buy a $250 Xbox 360 with a 60GB hard drive.

Games

Both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 have great games. Some games they both have, like Call Of Duty, and some games only one of the consoles has like Halo 3 for the Xbox 360. Personally, I prefer the Xbox 360′s games over the PS3′s because the Xbox 360 has a wider variety and more of the popular games.

Controllers

Both the PS3 and The 360 have awesome controllers. The PS3′s controllers have an older design while the 360′s are newer. One of the nice things about the PS3′s controllers is that they have a non-removable battery and can easily be recharged while the Xbox 360′s controllers come out of the box with AA batteries but for $11 you can get a rechargeable battery pack.

The Xbox 360′s Controllers are by far my favorite because they fit well in my hands and have a nice weight to them.

Online Gaming

The Xbox 360 has Xbox LIVE, a subscription based service that lets you talk to your friends, play games with friends or with complete strangers and much more. The PS3′s PlayStation Network is free, however, it is not as great as Xbox LIVE because it doesn’t seem to have as many users.

The Bottom Line

Both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 are great gaming consoles but I am going to have to give it to the Xbox 360 for great price, great games and a great online gaming service.
