Well, we finally saved up some money and are ready to fulfill our old dream and buy a good game console! We are eager to immerse ourselves in the fascinating and exciting world of games and surrender to it without a trace for at least the next week. And here it is a day off! We resort to the store! We approach the showcase! But at this moment you forget about all the recent anticipations and delights, because we are faced with the question of which is better - PS3 or Xbox 360.
And now we will try to orient the buyer and help him with the answer to this difficult question.
To begin with, we’ll deal with the characteristics, configuration and price of consoles.
Play Station 3 boasts the following toppings. The console brain is an 8-core processor with a clock frequency of 3.2 GHz. The physical memory of the device, depending on the model, ranges from 4 to 320GB. RAM type XDR, 256 MB. The graphics processor is NVIDIA RSX with its 256 MB of memory. All this enables the PS3 to set in motion complex games with top-end Full Hd-class graphics.
Of the additional features of the console, I highlight the presence of a PS3 Blu-ray drive and the ability to play 3D movies. Therefore, if you have a 3D TV, then I think that you already answered the question of which is better - PS3 or Xbox 360.
The Play Station 3 package includes: the console itself, one joystick, power cord, controller charging cord and AV cable (3RCA), popularly referred to as the “tulip”. I want to note right away that the image transmitted through the RCA cable will not allow you to watch 3D and give a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. Therefore, when buying, immediately purchase an HDMI cable version 1.4.
In some cases, the PlayStation Move controller may be included in the package.
The average retail price of the PS3 ranges from 11,000 to 15,000 rubles., Depending on the configuration.
Or maybe the problem is approached from another end? And ask about which is better - Xbox 360 or PS3, and not vice versa.
What does Microsoft offer us?
The console drives a powerful processor with 3 symmetrical cores and a clock frequency of 3.2 GHz, physical memory from 4 to 500 GB, RAM 512 MB and crowns the entire graphics chip from ATI called "Xenos". The drive of the “X-box" is ordinary, i.e. DVD The console is capable of playing music files from flash media and even video files with the avi extension. For the latter, you must install the codecs by connecting to the Internet first.
The set-top box is as follows: the “body”, one wireless controller (the joystick battery is disposable, unlike the PS3), the same analog AV cable that can be immediately discarded, the power supply (in this case, it is located outside the set-top box).
Xbox can be equipped with kinect controller. This is Microsoft's wireless console management option, as opposed to the aforementioned PlayStation Move. I won’t talk much about the advantages of this or that lotion to the console. I can only say that they differ dramatically, hit games are both there and there, and are sold separately.
Now compare the read. Xbox 360 or Playstation 3? And it seems that again the preference goes to the side of the product from Sony. But now we will try to take into account the opinions of experienced users. Among the gamers surveyed, most preferred the Xbox. The guys were the most ordinary and motivated their position by the fact that when playing on the Xbox, the picture is more dynamic, interesting and colorful, and most importantly - this is the ability to copy games to the hard drive.
PS3 fans to the question of which is better - PS3 or Xbox 360 answered unequivocally and confirmed their words as follows: technical advantages of the console; the legendary joystick, which has not undergone any changes since PS1, and most importantly, is a huge number of exclusive games that are not available even to PC owners. Like it or not, we are still at a crossroads.
So to summarize. Still, what is better than a PS3 or Xbox 360? Personally, I would buy a Sony prefix, because I believe that a colorful Xbox picture is not able to block all the opportunities that a consumer gets when buying a Play Station 3. Of course, this is my personal opinion, which has both opponents and supporters. The main thing is that you already have a concrete idea about these products and the question that we tried to answer did not catch you by surprise. Have a nice shopping! All the best!
