Xbox 360 vs PS3 (Play Station 3)

by Princy

Lots of people are wondering whether to buy XBOX 360 or wait for PS3. So, to help you make a decision I've compiled a comparison of the XBOX 360 and PS3.

Both are tremendously powerful and have some advantage over each other. PS3 has advantage with its compatibility with previous PS versions and XBOX has tremendous support for device connectivity with its HD Media Center. Its connectivity including direct support for Apple iPod is great. And Sony has nothing like Xbox Live service which gets even better with Xbox 360. But, biggest advantage XBOX will have over PS3 will be price, XBOX was released for $299 - $399 (core or premium) but it's clear from all the report I have read PS3 will be launched for around $500.

Here is summary of difference between two consoles. You can read full article at http://www.justxbox.com/xbox-360-vs-ps3-play-station-3-.html
