Games.

With the Playstation 3's graphics, which game isn't great!? With exclusive games like "Little Big Planet" and "Killzone 2" the Playstation 3 games are alot better than Xbox 360 or Wii. Now people have been saying " Xbox 360 has WAY better games than the PS3." First off, I do not agree with this. Xbox 360 games just use the same thing over and over again. Secondly, the Xbox 360 has been out 18 months longer, so I would expect better games from it..... for now. Some games have improved JUST because PS3 took them from Xbox 360. A great example is Fallout 3. They had to cut it short in 360 because the disks can only hold 15 gigs, while, as I mentioned before the PS3 disks can hold 50 gigs. So the morale of the story is, more memory = better gaming experience.

Although the Playstation 3 is for more of a "casual" gamer, it has games that are very, very versatile. This does not mean that you can't get into it enough to be hardcore, it just means that you can play once in a while, and still get a great gaming experience. The PS3 has games from ALL genres unlike the Xbox 360 (mostly shooters.) Of course this is just MY personal opinion, so comments are welcome.

PS: I did not mention the Wii, because the games for Wii are too childish for my liking.

Features.

The Playstation 3 is well worth the price for all the features you get in it. Just a few examples of the features you get are :
-Blu-Ray and DVD player
-Can run Windows XP on it
-Can plug in computer mouse, printer and keyboard
-Bluetooth headsets
-Can charge MP3's, Ipod's etc.
-Can plug in MP3's, Ipod's etc. and listen to music off of them
-256 MB of RAM (Random access memory)

This is amazing considering that the cost is 399$ for a 40 gig and 499$ for an 80 gig. On average a Blu-Ray player costs 250$-400$, so realistically you are only paying a max of around 149$ for a 40 gig and 249$ for an 80 gig (if you are buying a Blu-Ray player anyways.) For what you get with the PS3 I would pay the extra cash to get it. Would you?

PS: Xbox 360 only has DVD. Wii has neither. Ha!

Controllers

The Playstation 3 controllers are very diverse because they have the "sit down and play" like the old Playstation , and they have SIXAXIS. SIXAXIS is a motion sensor (like the Wii) and you can do anything with it. From driving cars to shaking off enemies SIXAXIS can do it all. The controllers have not changed much since the first Playstation, revised shoulder buttons, a home button. The only big differences are SIXAXIS and wireless. The Playstation controllers take about 40 minutes to charge (USB port charge) and they last for around 30-35 hours. The Xbox 360 uses regular AA batteries unless you get a charging pack. The Ps3 controllers are not as comfortable as the Xbox 360 but I like the SIXAXIS.

PS: Wii does not compete.
