360's are way too buggy for me to consider right now. I'll probably end up waiting for the PS3, it'll own the 360 when it's dropped anyways.

I dunno, we'll see about that... They arn't really buggy that was only the initial batch and there was a patch released which was forced to be downloaded by almost all xbox users so it was taken care of and really only effected less the 1% of the systems on the market anyways. I've yet to see the ps3 specs but as of now xbox has consumed a lot of the market they virtually own it right now so It will be "harder" for sony to fight back since there consoel has been delayed so much.

True, but PS3 is new technology, basically, the 360 is an upgraded XBox. A new Processor, and a new videocard. It offers nothing REALLY new.

PS3 boasts a new Processor, new videocard, bluray technology, and will be released a year after 360, with a year's worth of new technology.

There are a lot more Sony fanboys than MS ones.

Its actually got 3 core processors running at 3.0ghz each. So it is mighty powerful in that sector.

Both systems are pretty much going to be the same in power as well as graphics.
The big diffrence is that the PS3 is going to be running blue ray which could allow for higher bitmap resolutions.

But the strong point of the PS3 is also it's weakness, since blue ray is going to be expensive, the PS3 is going to cost somewhere between 499$ to 799$. Which makes it a bit too expensive for most people to consider it.

Some believe that sony will eventually drop the Blue ray technology, but we'll have to see.
Personally I'm going to be an owner of both.

Not right now, because I don't have the money for it.But probably when a lot more games are on the list.Even though I've played Quake 4 on it.And I didn't get the FPS most people had on theirs, Quake 4 ran beautifully!!!Lots of people were having problems with Quake 4s FPS, I had none.

Double post.Yeah.Sorry.

But same with the 360.

360 uses new chips and all not used in the original Xbox.The CPU is an IBM CPU, not an Intel.ATI made a GPU for the 360, not Nvidia.But Bluray is what going to hold PS3 back as well, mainly because of prices.But the Video card in PS3 isn't entirely new.It's archetexture is based off the 7800s GPU.I forgot the name of it, but the PS3s GPU is just a little more powerful 7800 basically when it comes down to it.
