Default XBOX 360 or PS3

Hi Guys,
I am lee from India. I love to play games and watch movies. I want Picture Quality, Performance, Best Price. I am very confused between these two. Can anyone tell which is better for me and why?

You should buy it based on which games you want to play. Are you into the games that are universal across both platforms and PC, do you prefer RPGs, sports games, racing, action, etc? And which system has more of the games you want to play? Honestly they're both great. Quality of picture and performance are near equal, and while one may be better in one area, it may not be quite the same in others. This means some games look better on XBOX360, and some look better on the PS3.

Personally, I stick with a computer for my gaming and have a separate DVD player for movies. It all comes down to personal taste

For the C64 you can still find (secondhand) the coolest 5 games ever written:

Buggy Boy
Salamander
Bubble Bobble
Stunt Car Driver
Barbarian

I have a co-workers XBOX 360 sitting in front of me right now waiting to see if I can bring it back to life.

RED RING OF DEATH

Something to consider.

If you want Hi def movies then your only choice is a PS3...no bluray drive for the Xbox 360 yet and probably never will.

The PS3's have also been more reliable....graphics wise you have to look close to see the differences and during game play I'm too busy to see if that tiny rock in the background is anti-aliased or not

Also to play online you need to pay with Xbox360 whereas PlayStation is free.

It took a about 2 hours, but I got the red out. Nothin' but green now. The inside of the thing was like a solid chunk of dust..... gross.

Damn, he didn't give me any games. All that work and I don't even get to play it.

if you don't plan to buy blue-rays movies, and don't need to play Ico-team games, than xbox gamepads are far far more comfortable than ps3, expecially on fifa 2010 (great game). reagarding an hi-fi setup xbox is unsuitable due to excessive noise, ps3 i don't know for sure.

The ps3 has build in Wi-Fi, build in blueray, and is much more quiet and reliable.

The 360 has better games, a bit better graphics, and has by far the best online gameplay.

For gaming my advice is the 360, for a more complete package the ps3 is hard to beat.

Xbox360 is very unreliable, over 80% failiure rate.
