well my first thoughts on buying the console was when i seen tekken hybrid advertised for ps3 only, which preety much sparked my curiosity into purchasing the console seeing as im such a huge tekken fan n all.

i already own a 360 and do most of my gaming on that...comparing the two consoles i would say gaming is better on xbox it's more sociable, easier to use and a better aray of games on demand, demos add ons etc.

the ps3 however has more to offer overall with it's divx codec for watching multiple vid file types, bbc i player, 4od, itv player, stv, free online service, internet browser and even backwards compatibility with digital memory card, i tried tekken 3 this morning and it runs faster thanks to the fast processor. graphics are fantastic i wouldn't say much better than xbox but thats not what i got it for. i got it for exclusives...

i ended up buying mgs4 n god of war 3 both awesome games and was impressed at how quick the loading times are on these blu ray discs.

overall i would say:

xbox ps3
games marketplace 10 6
ease of use 9 7
graphics 9 10
loading times 8 10
tv services 3 8
online play 9 7
backwards compatibility 6 10

overall 54/70 58/70

Swanky design with quiet operation; all games in high-definition; PSP-like user-friendly interface; plays high-def Blu-ray movies in addition to upscaling standard DVDs; built-in Wi-Fi and flash media reader; 80GB hard drive; online play is free; HDMI output with 1080p support; no external power supply; free online gaming service - I bought it because to me, there is no other console worth having !!

I bought is product for christmas/birthday present and it was super good for that value as a got two games with it as well which was a bonus :)
I would really go back to this seller if they seel items like this again
I can't wait for all the fun I'm going to have! :)

great console ideal for younger children and just playing games. playstation network is free to access allowing a wide range of possibilities from online gaming to shopping online from playstation store, the playstation has a blu-ray player which allows for better graphics in game and a whole new experience of watching films at home via ps3.although ps3 controllers can be more expensive rrp they are sleaker to the grip and are wireless like some other popular consoles. sony have created a console that is easy to use for all ages and provides cheap, affordable parts and extras for hours of fun.
