I find myself searching for information about my PS3 about perhaps adding software emulation for backwards compatibility and other information about upcoming add-ons, but there are always countless posts about people saying PS3 sucks or another saying Xbox360 sucks. The people that post those simple comments have no argument, they just choose to say ignorant things that don't support their point.

Elli and I had our arguments about the consoles earlier but it didn't really stick to the point. We resolved that (I think). Upon comparison the consoles are very similar. The graphics on the 360 are as I have read better, while the rendering of the PS3 is better. I'm shocked that Microsoft was able to produce a cheap product that rivals the PS3 which on paper seems to be much better. Sure, the developers need more time to harness the full potential of the PS3, but at this point in time that is a moot point. The main reason I purchased a PS3 over an Xbox360 was the Blu-ray and the fact that I had a PS2 and loved it, still do. Through my conversation with Elli he mentioned that Microsoft replaced his 360 when he got the ring of death free of charge and that is great. The customer service is always an important aspect. He also mentioned that his PS3 died after a firmware update and Sony denied responsibility. While this disturbs me, I know that the failure rate of the PS3 is under 1% whereas the 360 was closer to 1/4 to 1/3, so the customer service for Sony wouldn't have to provide anything to most people. It does suck for Elli and others who experienced problems. The main difference in the consoles is the payment for 360 for the internet.

Both consoles are great IMO, so there is no need to flame one or the other. Base your decisions upon what your friends have because most likely you will be spending a large amount of time online with them.

Thanks for reading,
