Which is best? x-box 360 or playstation 3?

This is a good discussion,because video games are really important since they are a good source of fun and enjoyment,I am sure that some people prefer the PlayStation 3 and others prefer the X-box 360,I am one of the people who prefer the X-box 360 and me and my wife own a Halo 3 Edition X-box 360 and it is awesome,I love the game selection,and I love the fact that you get to go for achievements and I also love the wireless controller ,and my brother has a PlayStation 3 and the main thing he does not like is he does not have achievements on it,like me and my wife have on our 360,have a great day,good luck with your life,and all of your mylotting goals,and Happy Posting.

I own both after just having bought the PS3 a few weeks ago after it went lower in price. Price was a huge factor for my husband and I...not because we couldn't afford it but I don't believe a system is worth that much and I would never pay it. After having both and playing on both, I must say I prefer the 360. I won't even argue the point that the 360 has many more games because it has a larger fan base at the present time that own the console (it may be just because of price, I don't know). The 360 is a fairly simple console that is for the most part easy to navigate. The only things I do on the consoles are videogame and download extras. I find the 360 menu to be fairly complicated at times, but after memorizing where the downloadable content and the "play game" option were, that's all I needed. The PS3 has annoyed me more than anything. The menu is simply cluttered in my opinion, and every single time I've put in a game it needs to download this or that for an update. Even after the updates are downloaded it claims it needs to update something else in order to play the game. Most of the time the PS3 has been on it's been downloading something. The lack of games--and quality games--for the PS3 has also been a downfall, but I'm expecting and hoping that to change. I've heard a lot of complaints about the Xbox 360's mechanical problems. I've owned mine a year so far and have had none. My opinion is based on my experience, however, and others may have had vastly different experiences. The 360 wins between the two, but overall, the Wii console reigns in all areas.

I don't know much about consoles, but all the time I hear my friends say like "go for the PS3 etc" and this is simply because the PS3 should be faster and with better graphics. Also I think PS3 is more expensive than XBox? As for the RAM, maybe the 256mb that PS3 has are of higher frequency than the xbox 512, so it will even it out. Hope you find the best for you.
