Playstation 3 or XBox 360

Now dont at all think that m acting kiddish when I speak about video games. Its not just a video game which one plays with a freaking brick game in it. Its a 35000 bucks playstation dammit with high definition graphics which makes all the gaming experience frigging real.

So, when I thought of buying such a console, only two names popped into my mind:
  1. Microsoft's Xbox 360
  2. Sony's Playstation 3
Now lets me elaborate which one of these to buy if you are new to these and confused with which one should you go for.

Sony Play Station 3:

This product looks good. Doesnt matter what it has and what not, as long as it has got a sony tag on it, it will sell.
Pros and cons (written in a jumbled up manner - sorry but thats how i always think):
  • Slick console.
  • If you are planning to keep it in your glass cupboard, it will surely gonna add a whole lot of zilch to it. The black version looks like an alien spaceship which has come to earth for a total annihilation
  • Blu-Ray disk which is the future technology of DVDs. Dont put much thinking on it because i was also not able to assess what it actually meant.
  • It has got a huge amount of space in it in terms of gigs. So no matter what you store, how big you store, you gonna end up in having space all the time.
  • Can play DVD movies
  • Can be used to surf web
  • The games when played on it, gives you a feeling of happy-go-lucky
  • Few problem with the graphics: [a] when u look into sunny area standing in a shady garage or house, the screen becomes almost white. [b] Antialiasing is not that good as in foggy scenes, the nearby bulbs and fires are not quite visible. [c] The blood coming out of a soldier doesnt look so real - lacks clarity and doesnt give a feel that you have actually killed somebody
Microsoft Xbox 360:

Now this is a real champ. White and Black model are the famous one in market but you will get many fancy outer body - be it pink, orange, commando theme and literally anything, you can get anything you can think of. Well apart from this what i found interesting is the interface. Its much better than the PS3, all colored up and easy to use.
Few features that one should look for in Xbox 360:
  • Heck of a speed! All the cars in Need for Speed Carbon go zoom with greatest quality in texture and lightening
  • One can literally plug anything into this piece of holy crap and get into the thing vis-a-vis iPod, Zune, SD cards, Memory sticks.
  • The lightening effects in the game are really sharper than PS 3
  • There is a online community forum too where a XBox user can log onto and do whatever he likes - challenge other players, download music.
  • Speaking of music, whereas PS 3 is for photograph lovers, XBox is for music lovers. If someone takes a wi-fi connection, they can literally download mp3 files location in their computer nearby.
  • Best price - lot cheaper than PS 3
Now the question is which one did I buy? Straight answer is neither of these! I found Nintendo-Wii to be a far better option but still searching for its dealer in India.
