Hi gamers,
I have a plan to purchase a new video game in near time. I am still confused to choose Play station 3 or Xbox 360. Most of my friend said to choose Xbox. what do you think guys? Is it true?
Which one gives you best graphics and quality? How about the price?

PC games are generally cheaper, but you also cannot resell most PC games if you get tired of it. Major retailers won't accept used PC games, and many PC games can only be installed on one computer before requiring another purchase.
PCs can provide much better performance and graphics than any console, but it costs far more to buy or build one of those PCs than to buy a console.

I've owned at least one Xbox 360 since its launch, and a PS3 since December of 2011.
In terms of graphics, the PS3 has more power under its hood, but because most games are designed for both consoles, you won't see much difference. The exception is games made exclusively for the PS3: these can look considerably better than anything on Xbox 360.
The PS3's discs are also able to hold a lot more data, meaning games that would come on multiple discs for 360 (very few) will only take one disc for PS3. In addition, the Blu-ray format means you can play much better quality movies on your PS3 than an Xbox 360 and standard DVDs.
As for cost, the PS3 will more than likely cost you more, depending on which model you are looking at. However, if you do like to play games online or watch movies and TV shows through Netflix, the PS3 will save you money in the long run, as you are not required to pay for PlayStation Plus in order to access these features. As for online quality, I have not noticed much difference between the PS3 and Xbox 360.
The PS3 also has games available for download, including classics from the PS2 and PS1.
In short, the PS3 will cost more upfront but provides a few more features, and doesn't require payment for online services. The Xbox 360 will be cheaper at first, but only allows basic online services to be used without an Xbox Live Gold (paid) account.
Another factor to consider is which games you are interested in. Each console has games that are only available for one and not the other. Xbox 360 has games like Halo, Gears of War, Banjo-Kazooie, and Fable. PS3 has games like LittleBigPlanet, Uncharted, Resistance, and Killzone.
Finally, if most of your friends have a particular console, and you wish to be able to play with them, you might want to go with that one. In this case it seems your friends have Xbox 360s. If you got a PS3, you would not be able to play online games with them.
Do some more research on the games you'd like to play, and make a decision from there. I hope this has helped you at least a little bit!

I would say xbox. Not only can you play the games you have on disk, but you can also buy and download other games and movies straight onto your xbox. You have to pay for the online feature, but it's a lot better than the PS3 online since xbox's online doesn't crash and isn't as slow. I'm not sure about graphics and all that but I've had my xbox for a few years and I love it and don't think I could ever go to a Playstation again.
