The playstation 3

Here is just the good and bad things of the sony playstation 3 also after the bad things i will tell you which consoles i prefer over the playstaion 3.

The good: 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; 60GB hard drive; online play is free; HDMI output with 1080p support; no external power supply; free online gaming service; plays PS2 and PS1 games; backwards compatibility is hardware based.

The bad: Compelling exclusive games are still few and far between; a USB port on the back would've been nice; no infrared port means non-Bluetooth universal remotes aren't compatible; glossy black finish is a fingerprint magnet; online gaming, media, and commerce options not nearly as developed as Xbox Live.

So over the playstation i would pick the xbox 360 in my opinionthe 360 is better than the ps3.
