Comparing the PS3 and 360

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the apples-and-oranges dept.

Yahoo! Games is running a piece comparing the PS3 and 360. They look at the hardware, software, and HD offerings for Sony and Microsoft's next-gen consoles. From the article: "Unlike the last generation, where Sony clearly held a commanding lead, the next generation of gaming is going to be a much closer race between the behemoths of Microsoft and Sony. Though there were many skeptics last fall, the past eight months have shown the Xbox 360 to be a very capable system and more than powerful enough to challenge the PlayStation 3. Microsoft also believes it will have 10 million units in the global marketplace before Sony even leaves the gate. So the question becomes: Which system do you buy?"

    One has blu-ray, one does not.
    That makes the choice obvious to me.
    Why buy a standalone blu-ray player for a thousand when I can get a PS3 that does the same plus more for 600?

    25GB per layer... yummeh.

    The PS3 is vaporware until it hits final production status in the ramp up to release. Let's compare today's Honda Civic hyrbrid with the future hyrbrid offerings of GM based on speculation of performance values pulled out of someone's ass! huzzah! Look! Honda wins! But GM catches up well! Full story on Dvorak's blog tomorrow!

    This means that unless you pre-order, chances are good the only place you'll be able to find the PlayStation 3 in November is on eBay (at an insanely high cost)

    So they'll have them at retail cost?

    That renders GTA4 in the best possible fidelity with the least possible load-times and disk swaps.

    Unless they release it for the Wii with nunchuck controller support for the baseball bat. Then all bets are off.
    But I'm not holding my breath - because - well, I like oxygen...

      So you're saying that EB was lying to me when I paid $20 to reserve Grand Theft Auto: Animal Crossing?

    My family is also addicted to 'food' and 'housing'. That's why we have 'jobs'.
