not everything said by dreygon is entirely accurate. xbox 360 runs off 512 of ram funnily enough the G card however has some crazy 1gb ddr #. though the main point that makes the xbox less than the ps3. everything the ps3 said it has DOES have it but the software that it has is so horrible it cant get to the peek of its ability. in a years time you are going to need to buy a new card for your xbox may sound silly a gcard for a consol but i assure you it is very true. and many people who have a xbox will confirm with me it has major slow downs. MAJOR. mass effect's textures take 15 seconds to kick in before they do it looks like a old pc game with very bad texturing. N3 when you use your special move the game slows down so much its like im using bullet time in max payne. GOW that was horrible for slow downs if you run into the thick of the fighting there would be major slow down's. now onto the ps3. Warhawk game takes alot of power to run due to semi good graphics and alot going on. you can have 32 fighters in the sky firing missiles left and right and the computer still purs away. not to mention higher quality hardware. average lifespan of a 360 is a year everyone i know who has one more than a year old has a problem with it in some way. not starting up 1st time, reads a game as a DVD. one of my mates got the red ring of death. i can safely say the ps3 will probably last a good 2-3 years at the very least like every other play station
hell my psx still purs like a kitten.
all in all the thing that lets the ps3 down is its OS and software at the moment (can be fixed easily)
the xbox is entirely hardware which is a much worse thing but as i said on my previous post right not to this date the xbox is a better console if you dont mind worrying about it not being here this time in a year or 2
