Small nerdy correction about the RAM lol - both consoles have 512MB of total RAM - however in the PS3, it's set up as 256MB for the system, and 256MB for the GPU. The 360 has 512MB spread across both, and developers could allocate it however they wanted, resulting often in higher res textures on Xbox. Awesome video by the way! Earned a sub.
Thank you appreciate it! Yeah that’s true, should’ve mentioned DRAM instead of just RAM. But I did say 256MB of RAM and half the VRAM as the Xbox 360. 512MB/2=256MB and 256+256=512MB of total RAM in the PS3. I think I just was a bit unclear, sorry about that!
I have both the ps3 and 360. I played and owned a ps3 first and bought a 360 because more of my friends had them. I have noticed that the 360 usually has the edge in terms of graphics/performance. The ps3 has aged fairly well, not too many hardware issues and the xmb still looks good, the bluray drive also helps keep it relevant in this day and age. To be honest the 360's hardware issues are really irritating, rrod, disc drives etc. However if you find a 360 that has been looked after and is a certain motherboard revision (jasper motherboard) you're good to go, thay are practically immune to rrod, more so that the slim and e models, I've had an e model red light. In my opinion it all boils down to which appeals to you more. Ps3 - pros: Blu-ray, solid game library/exclusives, typically more reliable, free online play, easy to mod/jailbreak. Ps3 cons: store is buggy and outdated, in my experience they crash more, games typically don't run as smooth. Xbox 360 pros: great games and exclusives, you don't have to install disc games to the hdd, removable/transferable hard drive (no formatting, so if your 360 dies you can just wack your hard drive into different console and job done), online store works really good still. Xbox 360 cons: you have to pay to play online, more common hardware issues, no bluray, early models have no hdmi and are doomed to fail.
I'm so lucky to own the Halo 4 Slim console limited edition without any issues for 11 years now. The best xbox 360 console I ever owned after temporarily owning 2 white xbox 360's and 1 Elite console.
I have both PS3 fat and a 360 slim, i love both and wish for peace in the console wars lol Not to mention i can play ps1, ps2 and og xbox titles and that is like having 5 consoles, 7th gen forever!
As someone who still uses both, in 2023 the 360 is a much smoother experience. I prefer the PS3 and it’s library of games overall, but it’s full of bugs in 2023. The 360 still has a usable store that STILL runs weekly game deals. Good luck navigating the PS3 store without your console rebooting. You can tell Sony has the console on life support
Yup I agree with you. PS3 have better exclusives (they were more action packed and gave great adventures) and the Xbox 360 have a smoother UI. Also, mine haven't crashed once since I got it so I'm very happy about that.
I picked up an Xbox 360E a couple years back and have slowly amassed a nice collection of games and the best part is everything was and still is dirt ass cheap! Collect now!
Cringe comment u hate people who go this one I prefer more but the other one still great so vringe hate people who say that also have fun wasting money on a console for online
I went through 8 360s due to RROD and I’d still choose the 360. I have 3 slims and a RROD launch model. I have a 60GB PS3 that has GLOD, and was more devastated when it failed. I even kept my Other OS settlement check in a frame for nostalgia. I wish that Sony would’ve put the same effort into it as the PS4. I would’ve bought another one.
@@gerardMcNulty xbox one/series are still missing alot of games that I and many others would want to see. Also I'd argue the nostalgia factor and I personally prefer playing games on the original hardware.
that's wild. I've had 1 of my 4 360's ever rrod and it was because it fell while in use... sold 2, the one I have left runs amazing, some new thermal paste and she's just about new
now tell people how you stored your console while playing, the rrod after the first version was almost none existent. so you must have either had loads of first versions, or you store them in a cabinet with the door closed letting it turn into an oven. which would be on you then. because i am telling you right now, i have 7 xbox 360's and not a single one of them went rrod. so something tells me you are fibbing a bit.
PS3, without a doubt. Far better exclusive games. People keep saying “multiplats ran better on XBox” but that was only true for the first half of the generation. 2013 was the final year of the 7th Gen before XB1 and PS4 came out. The biggest multiplats of the year- GTA V, Tomb Raider, Metro: Last Light, Metal Gear Rising Revengence, Bioshock Infinite- ALL ran better on PS3, per Digital Foundry, etc. And again, the exclusives weren’t even close; PS3 by a mile.
Took 40+ hours to make. I need a shower.. Edit: Shower taken and ATTENTION GENTLEMEN 👀 Grab some gamer juice and see why the 7th gen consoles was when gaming PEAKED: ua-cam.com/video/u9VbiINsxCg/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Odeboo (banger video)
@@richardgraham4827 Aren't you maybe combining the RAM and VRAM? In that case, yes it's technically 512MB, but is has 256MB of XDR DRAM & 256MB of VRAM. Search on Google if you'd want :)
Great vid as always :). Would've been interesting to see a short comparison of both consoles hacking scene (PS3HEN, homebrew etc) since that is often one of the main reasons people are buying old-gen consoles as far as I've been able to tell. (7:47) Also just a few weeks ago, quite a few popular titles got delisted from the store including many Assassin’s Creed games as well as The Witcher 2, Left 4 Dead 2, and many other games, so I wouldn't be surprised if the store gets shutdown in a year or two. :P
Thanks! Yeah that's true it sure would make an interesting video. I've seen many people purchasing modded, chipped or hacked consoles these days. Had a 360 S with RGH back in the day, worked seamlessly. And for the store, it will at least be up for about 1,5 years, so it's still plenty of time. Though, I don't know why anyone would buy games on the store except for the ones that you can't find a physical copy of. The disc versions are tend to be cheaper.
the best generation of "modern" gaming hands down ! honestly i like both ps3 and 360 ! ps3 was the last time i really enjoyed playstation ! if i had to choose just one i would go with the 360....but i do own and enjoy both 😎
When you mention the red ring of death, you should mention the ps3 fat models yellow light of death too. The fat models are dying a lot more than Xboxes. Basically the same design flaw of the gpu.
Giving that the homebrew scene for the PS 3 is very active and constantly evolving makes this a very easy pick. As a owner of different PS3 models, I can say that the best overall console to get is the slim, due to the moding capabilities and the build quality. Just watch out for the last slims produced before the super slim. They accept HEN only, just like the super slim. From a design perspective, the fat is the best, but when it comes to reliability, the fat is the last one to get in my opinion. Just something I picked along after years of moding and refurbishing PS 3 s. The super slim is also a great console. With little maintainance it runs relatively cool, silent and putting away the external build quality, the inside is very well built. Only downside, it can only accept HEN as a custome firmware, wich I don't see as such a great problem as others do. My conclusion, if you don't want to open and fiddle around with your PS 3 and skip all the headaches, stay away from the fat.
Yeah for the best experience do not get the fat. The reason I got it was simply due to the amazing deal that I was put upon, and so far the console is running surprisingly well. But the question is for how long it'll do that.
problem is this is a review based on the consoles themselves. not the modding community that hacked the console. because hell people even had emus on the xbox series systems.
personally I have both and love both. the 360 was my first hd console and I still have my og model from 2008. I also have a hacked launch ps3 from around the same time that's backwards compatible. and as of now I use the ps3 more due to it's blu-ray playback, it's currently my only blu-ray player but I got a ps4 coming in the mail soonish
I have bought PS3 Slim for 40€ with 8 games and 2 controllers, and even is compatabile with CFW, witch make it even better, 1tb hard drive upgrade and you are good to play anything you want.
I find both consoles very appealing. both have their individual strengths and weaknesses. Apart from the fact that the PS3 initially had massive difficulties with programming due to the cell chip, it later showed top titles. Of course, the developer kits were usually only available for larger developers, which meant that they could get more out of the hardware. The Xbox 360, on the other hand, was the dominant console from the start because it performed better, especially when it came to multiplatform implementations. Back then I was only an Xbox gamer and the PS3 passed me by. Years later I got the slim one that I currently use. I'm catching up on what I missed back then. Just the Uncharted series or Killzone trilogy. These are top games. MGS 4, Last of Us are absolute top sellers. The same on the xbox 360 with the gears of war series or halo. Today I'm playing the old 360 titles on the Xbox Series S and they're great fun again. Ultimately it's a matter of taste, but I personally think the Sony and Xbox games are great and are usually more fun than today's ones.
Great video and comparison. The PS3 Fat looks amazing. Did not want to shell out over $600 for it. Did got the PS3 Slim for $300 a few years later and still have that. Great to play Blu Rays on. I do see them in yard sales and swamp meets and pick them up for $5 to $10 each console. High chance of getting the Red Ring for the Xbox 360 or the YLOD for the PS3. They both could be fix. The game libraries for both are amazing. Maybe only played like 5-6 games on each system due to lack of time.
Both console's are both good console's what hampered the PS3 was the price on launch which let it down a lot. The red ring of death was Xbox down side. But what made both console's good was the games to play. An what most people did with their PS3 was when they put a 1 or 2 tb harddrive in their PS3 console.
When it comes to the ps3 my favorite model will always be the original even though I’ve always had the super slim. I choose the og model mainly because it could play ps2 games natively and the super slim couldn’t
@@Odeboo I've switched regions a lot, it always worked. 16 years in and my ps3 is in mint condition. No scratches or marks nothing just that beautiful ps3 slim, 250 gigs
i know most ppl clown on the ps3 super slim but it’s the one i had as a kid so im nostalgic towards it, just rebought the azure blue version to relive some memories
They both have 512mb of ram. But the ps3 is split into 256mb of ram for the system and 256mb for the graphics. In contrast the Xbox 360 has 512mb of unified ram. Which can be divided in any shape or form as needed. So With that being said. When it comes to playing different titles. The Xbox 360 is far more versatile and can handle any game that the ps3 can and can handle many more games that the ps3 can not. The ps3 is limited due to this reason. Xbox 360 is the stronger more capable console.
I own both at the moment and i have to go with the xbox 360. If you get a later model the red ring should be a non issue. Alot of early 3rd party games on the ps3 just dont run well if thats your thing. However both are great and the ps3 has the last of us which alone is worth playing
PS3 - still online - store still up - compatible with the Vita and psp - better first party titles - 3D bluray built in - backwards compatible to ps2 and ps1 - easily hackable plus retroarch = a monster of a system - super fast when upgraded with an ssd drive - great as a media center - streaming services such as prime video and youtube still available - better customization with dynamic backgrounds and more - more mature graphical shell and home menu - wifi and power brick built in - better controller; no manual battery swapping - other os feature so you can install Linux onto it And much more. The list goes on and on. Beautiful little machine.
- 360 also still online - halo series and ninja gaiden black + ninja gaiden 2 (original xbox 360 version) better than all of playstation exclusives combined - only the launch ps3 is backwards compatible with ps2 while any xbox 360 is backwards compatible with any xbox game - 360 arguably has better customization, especially right now with all the free stuff in the marketplace - 360 has avatars while ps3 doesnt - with an adapter you can plug in headphones to the 360 controller and listen to your game quietly - anything is fast with an ssd - xbox one slim and elite have built in wifi as well - the common consensus is that the 360 controller is one of the best controllers of all time and superior to the ps3 controller xbox 360 was and always will be better than ps3. yall had the ps2 and now the ps5. the 360 will forever be a microsoft w.
@@TripleEightss - 360 also still online - The Xbox 360 store servers are shutting down this year in July. Rumors are that everything else is next on the list. - halo series and ninja gaiden black + ninja gaiden 2 (original xbox 360 version) better than all of playstation exclusives combined - Not true. They both had great exclusives during this era, but I prefer Playstation more. - only the launch ps3 is backwards compatible with ps2 while any xbox 360 is backwards compatible with any xbox game - Later models are backwards compatible too via official the software emulator that can be unlocked by using custom firmware. In addition, the PS3 hardware is far superior to the 360 albeit more complex. PS3 had everything from wifi, bluetooth, bluray and even its entire power supply built right into the console. Not so on the 360 which still needed an additional addon to compete (like how the 360 controller needed batteries). On the 360 the power brick alone was huge and the size of a real brick and even had its own fan. - 360 arguably has better customization, especially right now with all the free stuff in the marketplace - Nope, just look at how the ps3 did live video backgrounds pretty much from the start. In addition, PS3 launched with "other OS" allowing you to install Ubuntu Linux onto it which in turn made it a full blown PC and gaming console combined into a single box. This feature was later removed by Sony but you can still install Linux on it. - 360 has avatars while ps3 doesnt - I don't care much for avatars. Those days have long passed. - with an adapter you can plug in headphones to the 360 controller and listen to your game quietly - Fair point, 360 had better voice chat options. I agree. - anything is fast with an ssd - Not anything, but a lot of things. Whatever the case, the PS3's hard drive can be swapped within a few seconds as it officially supports this - the 360 does not. - xbox one slim and elite have built in wifi as well - Only later models got that upgrade whereas the first batch of consoles did not ship with this feature, making it the inferior product in terms of overall out-of-the-box features. Add to that the tremendous rrod failure rate that far eclipsed and surpassed anything that Playstation and Nintendo was dealing with back then = not so good. Not a quality product. - the common consensus is that the 360 controller is one of the best controllers of all time and superior to the ps3 controller - Not in my book. I prefer the PS3 controller in every way, including the fact that I didn't have to manually change its batteries like a kids toy. PS3 controller feels more premium and I prefer its patented button and joystick layout too. - xbox 360 was and always will be better than ps3. yall had the ps2 and now the ps5. the 360 will forever be a microsoft w. - Not in my book. In the end, the PS3 actually surpassed the 360 in overall wordwide sales. In addition, the PS3 will most likely outlive the 360 in terms of all things online and multimedia too (PS3 is still getting Bluray updates to this day). To me both are good consoles, but I very much prefer the PS3 for a number of reasons. Microsoft is not known for quality products, see Windows and DirectX. Microsoft is not Apple. Sony and Nintendo, on the other hand, come very close to Apple's premium quality in terms of hard- and software and neither of them use Windows in the background either.
Xbox 360 for Third party games, PS3 for exclusive game's. Though even with that being said, I still spent way more time on my PS3 then 360, especially considering my 360 got the red ring of death, hence why I bought a PS3. Then when I bought a 360 years later for Halo & Forza, I was already well settled into my PS3 so the 360 didn't get used much.
I will give you a sub. Nice video the only problem with the 7th gen is that u have to get all 3 xbox 360, nintendo wii, and ps3.! All have their own unique great games.! I prefer the Xbox 360 S
About the PS3, it also depends if you wanna be able to play PS2 games on it natively or not. If so, you should opt for a CECHA/B/E or C model but maintenance on those is pretty rough as they’re running fairly hot after all those years and the failure rate of them is pretty high. Mine has recently died a GLOD death. Apart from that, they’re also the most expensive ones due to their backwards-compatibility. However, if you just wanna have a reliable and cool running system without the need for a custom firmware, choose a CECH-3000 series PS3 Slim, as they run absolutely great and cool, even with standard fan speeds compared to anything prior.
@@brostenen The point of having that specific PS3 model is so that you don’t even need to plug in your PS2. Games also gonna look better on there due to better anti-aliasing.
@@LNCRFT Yes. But you get shitty compatibility. And a Ps2 plus a good upscaler will give you the best in the long run. And it is cheaper. And it will last longer. Using a BC Ps3 and you also have to deal with the fact that it do not last. Yellow light of death or was it red? Anyway. Fatt Ps3 will go bad and those that are still working, will die fast. Just how it is. Ps2 and a Ps3-Slim is the best solution. Just get a good upscaler like a RetroTink. Personally I will not pay that much for a Ps3 BC.
@@brostenen If you maintain a fully backwards compatible PS3 well, it won’t die on you that fast and it has the same compatibility as a PS2 slim. Any FAT PS3 has a higher failure rate if you don’t maintain them well. That also includes using a higher fan speed, cleaning the console, replacing thermal paste, removing the IHS and changing the thermal paste on the die. I have a PS3 and a PS5 for all my PlayStation games from PS1 up to PS5 with just 2 consoles. It couldn’t be any better. And my PS3 just cost me 40 bucks from a private seller in my local area.
@@LNCRFT BC Ps3 have a cap issue. And the chips are running too hot, due to 65nm and not 45nm on the slim. Hence you will end up having to delid the chips and apply new thermal paste. At some point, you need to change the caps as well. And ultimately you will have to reball the chips. Not many people can do this. And not many have money to pay a professional to do this. If you really want to be able to play some Ps2 games on a Ps3, then get a CECH-20xx or CEHC-21xx and install CFW. Then get a Ps2 for those few games you like, but can not run on a Ps3 with CFW. Ask yourself.... Do you really need to be able to play all Ps2 releases yourself. Or is it just a case of "look what I own".
I bought the Xbox 360 launch console (white one) only 20GB of storage in Nov. 2005. 4 months later I got the ring of death and trade it with another Xbox 360 white console again which I never had issues and kept it till I sold it to my friend when the Elite was launched in spring 2007. I never had issues with the Elite except like 4 years later the tray wouldn't open due to most likely debris inside until I trade it in with the release of Halo 4 slim console edition 320GB storage which I still own it as of 2023 without any issues whatsoever. The best Xbox 360 based of how it looks, storage, performance and never having any issues.
Hi! I need some opinions so I can make my decision. I played on an Xbox 360 (offline) from 2014 until 2022 (I had to give it away to my cousins since my family bought an Xbox Series S). I've never owned any of the PlayStation consoles. I've realized just how much I miss playing The Sims 3 and other old games on my Xbox 360 rather than the newer games available on the newer consoles. I decided that I'll buy either Xbox 360 or PS3 one day so I can play my old games again, but I can't decide which one to buy. Which one should I buy and why?
Ps3 I have a 360 still and a Xbox 1 I play my Xbox 1s more cause of gamepass and my ps4 I still play that but I’m gonna get another ps3 hopefully jail broken so I really don’t play my 360 that much anymore
Personally I'd say get the PS3 Slim for reliability and wonderful exclusives. But if you want to play Forza, Gears of War or perhaps Halo, then consider the Xbox 360 S or E 😊
Remember, your not going to find it like it was in the days, now it's all about mods, that's why I don't get a PS3, I have a 4 and 5, but to much of a hassle for an older game console.
This is probably one of the hardest comparisons and a lot of it might just be down to opinion. Graphics/framerate: 360 - even if the PS3's Cell was stronger, the developers didn't want to bother to learn it so a lot of games would run a bit worse and play at 640p resolutions to compensate for the lack of optimization. Backwards compatibility: PS3 - the early PS3s were fully backwards compatible but it was removed very early on. Even so, the later PS3s still kept a significant PS2 software emulator that is capable of running plenty of PS2 games while keeping the PS1 emulation intact. Meanwhile the 360, offered some classic Xbox emulation, however it leaves a lot to be desired. Online infrastructure: 360 - the PS3 had free online multiplayer but that's where its perks end. Everything else about it was much more sluggish when compared to the 360 whether it was the digital store or the multiplayer component of the game, plus for some reason, a few big games didn't even release digitally on PS3. Design: PS3 - I have to give it to the launch PS3, it's a premium product all around, especially compared to the launch 360. It's a shame it has such a high failure rate. But if if we count the later models, then the 360 E easily beats the crap out of the Super Slim PS3. One of the ugliest consoles I have ever seen. XMB/Dashboard: PS3 - initally, I would give it to the 360 but I think the PS3 XMB catched up pretty well with more intuitive UI, personality and it's very smooth if you're on any firmware above 4.80. While the 360's dashboard imo downgraded over the years, it's much more bland now. Also PS3 themes are superior, sorry. Games: 360 - this is entirely opinion based. I made a list of 360 and PS3 exclusives I would like to play and ended up with slightly more 360 games. Plus, I liked the fact it had a lot of PS2 era HD ports like Burnout Revenge or Just Cause. They're basically exclusives due to how much better they look, play and often had some extra content too. Overall: PS3 - 3 points Xbox 360 - 3 points
i agree on all points, i think if xbox kept the blades theme, but put work into it, that would have been down right awesome, i did not like the nxe theme, and i absolutely hated the metro theme. but yeah that ps3 store was horrible. tho i will give ps3 credit for putting wifi in the ps3 out the gate. i had a wifi adapter for the xbox 360, but my god their wifi at the time was horrible, and you lost a usb port. the controller tho, the 360 controller was perfect for me. i have rather large hands, and that fits the xbox 360 perfectly. and it had weight, where as the ps3 controller wasn't terrible, but it was to light and felt like it would fall apart in my hand.
I like both and own both but for me I’d rather the ps3. Heaps of awesome exclusives and games r dirt cheap as rite and coz the discs r blu ray discs they r generally not really scratched up unlike a lot of Xbox 360 discs. I really do like how the 360 u can save ur game saves to the cloud as I have multiple 360s and Xbox ones so I’m able to have my game saves from any of them providing I’m signed into my Microsoft account. The ps3 is also really easy to softmod too which unlocks a huge amount of features
I can hear your Swedish accent as you said "10:31" unshorted series? Mean uncharted? To be fair we both have similar languages in terms of syntax. Just remember to add the T in RS pronunciations to words. 11:22 Some* xD It's okay.
I got both. Yes, PS3 has online gameplay but sooner or later all of those servers will be shutdown. 360, on the other hand, has System Link, which means that in compatible games like Call of Duty Black Ops 2 you can connect consoles directly online, in which one of the participant´s consoles is the server and the others the clients. It´s very easy to use and Black Ops 2 is always packed on weekends. And, of course, totally free, you need to have the console modded with RGH and Aurora software, better than the annoying Freestyle one. PS3, of course has better JRPGs if you are into that and the best version of The Last of Us to date (forget the remasters, they made characters uglier to send "the message"). I love both, play the 360 a little bit more. And also, you can up the speed of the fans on both consoles when they are modded. Sound like airplanes but it´s necessary, those consoles were basic kitchen stoves, made to heat up and die after a while, so better speed up those fans a little, don´t let the consoles go beyond 60º Celsius.
Good points! Used RGH a while ago and it's really great. And for the fans, yeah it's probably best for the consoles if they ramped up the fans, although my 360 S has been running relatively cool when playing graphic intense games, found it pretty surprising myself.
I think the 360 is easily the better buy, especially now. A lot of the best exclusives from the PS3 have remasters and remakes on the new consoles, or will since Sony seems to love doing that, so unless you want to play the original games for some reason you’ll mostly be playing multiplats, which all ran better on the 360, and some being nearly unplayable like Bethesda games (except for Oblivion). Xbox 360 also has an upscaling chip up to 1080p which makes titles look a bit better on 1080 and 4k displays whereas with PS3 you’re stuck with the native 540p - 720p resolutions. Its also a lot easier to find good condition 360 controllers whereas genuine PS3 controllers are harder to come by with the amount of fakes. PS3 has a few pros over the 360 like Blu-Ray so large games will only need one disc and no power brick, and it’s also region free so you can use discs from any country, and of course free online but you wouldn’t really be playing online seriously on these consoles anyway so it doesn’t matter too much.
I think that when some games have their online servers shut down, the needing to pay for online is not that big of an issue. Even if some game has online servers, I don't mind paying for it, because Xbox 360 has stronger hardware which means better performance and graphics. I own both consoles, but for me, Xbox 360 is the better option.
Coming from someone who owned both, the PS3 aged better by miles. The 360 has the better controller, but the PS3 makes for a better entertainment system, has free online play, and has great exclusive games to offer. In 2024 the PS3 still seems like a modern console, whereas the 360 feels a lot more aged, albeit still able to play games to a great standard for the generation. For me though, if you want to use a console for more than just gaming, the PS3 wins hands down. Oh, and it has an in-built Blu-Ray player (admittedly niche but still neat)
First of all, it's a crime to own a phat ps3 that isn't backward compatible with ps2 and ps1 games, as it's a legitimate option to own that version of the ps3 and ps5 to cover the entire playstation library. With that said, the og PS3 curbstomps all versions of the 360.
I have both. Bought one of each this year. Even though I have a one x and ps4 pro hooked up to my 55inch Qled in my bed room. The ps3 is better value for money because of the exclusives you can play on it and the Blu-ray player. I have both of the 2 connected to my 24 inch PlayStation simulview monitor I have on a table in my lounge near my kitchen area. I got them because they were cheap. Both were around £40. Got the 360s Earlier this month and the ps3 around July. I wanted to watch my Blu-ray movie collection in my lounge after my older ps3 consoles that are hooked up to my wall mounted 40 inch TV, Blu-ray players stopped working and I thought I’d try out the 3rd party games from that generation that I either never played or missed playing, but for my Xbox 360s and to test out the OG Xbox backward compatibility. My ps3 is only a 40gb model so I can’t fit all of the big game installs after all the latest firmware updates so games like GTA episodes from Liberty city and fight night champion were bought for the 360s because there aren’t mandatory game installs and I got the Xbox for the few Xbox exclusives I missed out when 360 was current gen like Alan Wake,the dlcs from the main game and the arcade stand alone game American nightmare, left 4 dead, gears of war 1-3 and dead rising 1,2 and case zero. I play fight night round 4 on the ps3 and fight night champion on the 360s. I’ve had fun revisiting games like Uncharted 1-3, last of us, heavy rain, heavenly sword, resistance 2 and 3, Killzone 2 and 3, motor storm 1 and 2 on the ps3 and some of the latest blu ray movies which look amazing even on the PlayStation 24 inch simulview monitor.
Dostum benimde bir PlayStation3'üm var, şu an için bile harika bir deneyim olduğunu düşünüyorum yalnız mağaza gerçekten çok yavaş ve xmb menüsü arkada oyun açıkken hiçbir işe yaramıyor.
In terms of collecting and playing games on to this day, I prefer the Xbox 360. I have both systems and lucky enough to have kept my Ps3 60 gb bc, but when it comes to solely replaying games I prefer my Xbox 360 slim 250gb because of the graphics and performance. Better graphics in terms of multi platform games of course, cos the exclusive ps3 games are made different. Also the the 360 has the games I actually replay like smackdown vs raw 07, burnout revenge and naruto broken bond. Not to say Ps3 sucks cos it don’t, 100% love my OG ps3 but the games I grew up playing on it like TLoU and Uncharted series have been ported and improved already. Only one game I’m waiting on is MGS4 to be ported or remake. Anyway, both consoles rock but to replay and even collect games on the Xbox 360 wins for me.
Remember also a lot of 360 games didnt make the back compat. Also the 360 is back compat with a ton load of og xbox games. So thats i keep my resident evil blood red console and i bought the 360e model as well for back up and the 500GB hdd. Awesome look on the consoles.
Well if secondhand market values are anything to go by, on average PS3s are worth about twice as much as X360s; and then the PS2 game playing models are worth twice even that
I still own both the Xbox 360 Halo 4 Limited edition console and the slim PS3 and I own an Xbox 360 E console which I prefer because you can plug in earphones unlike the other 360. I prefer playing the PS3 this day and age as it is free to play online and I have a huge library of games from PS Plus and PS3 is a great Blu-ray player as I own a lot of them.
The Halo 4 console is a good looking console and the controllers. I still own the Halo 4 console with the box included. On Halo 3, I played around 23K games on matchmaking, custom games not included.
Bought both, and will buy more versions down the line. I bought the 360 E because the design felt refreshing, but will also buy the S for the original look. Bought the PS3 Slim, but I think I'll skip on the super slim version and just buy the FAT.
It’s funny how everyone can’t see PS3 store was going to close and Sony did something else to make sure it closes for good by removing credit card and PayPal options on the PS3 xbox 360 still accepts credit cards still gets sales on the Xbox 360 games like call of duty black ops 2 costing $14.99 while the PS3 stays forever $49.99 once I unlock all the trophies for every game on PS3 I’m done using the PS3 xbox 360 maybe isn’t blue Ray but I’m not using it to watch blue Ray movies it’s to play games and every game goes 1080 p on Xbox 360 PS3 is 720 P on most of their games and since nobody really plays on the PS3 anymore online free.means nothing the GTA 5 online was shut down a year ago
Does anyone have a way to play these consoles on modern TVs or monitors? Both consoles look very pixaleted on both displays. Can an hdmi upscale remedy the problem?
Some versions doesn't support HDMI. On your other comment you said that you're still rocking your Xbox 360 Elite and PS3 Slim and they have an HDMI output. Try checking your settings for each console and screen because when I first got my 360 it was set to 480p, which I could change to 1080p. Otherwise you can try to upscale it you want but I shouldn't be necessary I believe.
no way peeps still fighting on which system is/was best LOL, it's 2023 both systems are really good in retrospect considering their large libraries and current price mark. if you had a ps3 growing up, I'd say pick up an xbox 360 they hella cheap rn (even in my 3rd world country) and try it, have that experience with clear mind and be unbiased, you're not on sony's payroll. Likewise if you had an x360, get a ps3 slim and try it - whether you want them to be jailbroken or not it's your own decision but it's also a nice experience to have whether for pirated games or emulators and other stuff you can't normally do.
I just bought PS3 super Slim yesterday and it plays beautifully & really it looks really sharp on my flat screen 32 inch Samsung TV and it plays PS1 games and I prefer the PS3 over the 360 Xbox one and over the GameCube and Wii and Wii u Nintendo switch
You say the PS3 has 256MB of RAM this isnt entirely true, it has 256MB RAM of quite high speed RAM for the CELL CPU and a separate 256MB RAM for the GPU so in total 512MB
I know. I should've mentioned DRAM instead of just RAM, but I said that the console have 256MB of RAM and half the VRAM compared to the Xbox 360, which makes it 512MB of shared RAM.
360 better for most singleplayer multiplatform games. PS3 better for it's free online, exclusives, and rpgs. They both kinda round eachother out but if you could only own one. PS3 for sure as you can play most relevent 360 games on Xbox One or Series. While PS3 is the only thing that can play it's games.
I have to agree that Microsoft have done a pretty decent job on bringing many 360 games to the One and Series, but there are still plenty missing which is understandable due to the 360's large library size :)
@@Odeboo That's why I said most relevent 360 games. They did manage to get most of the main ones up on it. There's only a handful of my own 360 games I actually need my 360 for. Mostly niche titles and licensed sports games. Biggest ones not being on there are Skyrim and GTAV but you got full on remastered ports of those. It's still better than the 0 PS3 games PS4 and PS5 can run. I don't count streaming on PS Now.
Yeah, some games that I play on the 360 that haven’t been ported over are older Forza titles, a few Kinect games and Skylanders. But I’m planning on getting more games that haven’t been ported and those I’ve played in the past to relive some great moments 👍
Could never get behind the ps3's xmb. Just never clicked, every time I use it, I immediately start thinking of what 360 game I'll be playing after this haha
If you're into this generation of console gaming you really should have both. Multiplats are better on the 360 9/10 times, the 360 also has the better controller. PS3's user interface is much better organized, snappier, and makes for one of the best media centers ever released to the public. The list of supported formats is crazy, it still makes for a solid media center. Most of the multiplats look pretty bad on it though and as someone who outright avoids PC gaming that's still a big deal to me. The PS3 generally offers more, at least its store is still active and it seemed to have more support than the 360 towards the end of their generation, with a few of the later multiplats actually being more desirable experiences on the PS3. I'd argue the 360 has better exclusives but I think most people would prefer PS3 exclusives. I still prefer the 360 overall because it's the only console with good versions of The Darkness and F.E.A.R. It just plays games better.
PS3 but at the time 360 was the console. By the time the PS3 eventually came out, the 360 was far cheaper also the online was better albeit you had to pay for it. Now I think that the PS3 graphics and lack of people on these consoles has shown itself to being the better console. You can't go wrong with a 360 though
ps3 is easier to mod, upgrade HDD and has free multiplayer, however, the 360 versions of cross platform games look and run better, so just get the one with the exclusives you like the most

I'd say the ps3 is a better for 2023, sony still kinda updates it, and its free to play online, plus its easier to jailbreak.
Yup that's true, good points :)
And much less likely to red-ring

ps3 on 2023 = ps-Anniversary
It’s hard as shit to sign in the psn
Small nerdy correction about the RAM lol - both consoles have 512MB of total RAM - however in the PS3, it's set up as 256MB for the system, and 256MB for the GPU. The 360 has 512MB spread across both, and developers could allocate it however they wanted, resulting often in higher res textures on Xbox. Awesome video by the way! Earned a sub.
Thank you appreciate it! Yeah that’s true, should’ve mentioned DRAM instead of just RAM. But I did say 256MB of RAM and half the VRAM as the Xbox 360. 512MB/2=256MB and 256+256=512MB of total RAM in the PS3. I think I just was a bit unclear, sorry about that!

Thanks again, means a lot that you enjoy my work! More to come! ☺️
@@lbsiuk great comment
Also, to expose another error.... You originally state that the Xbox GPU was produced by Nvidia. It was an ATI/AMD GPU.
I have both the ps3 and 360. I played and owned a ps3 first and bought a 360 because more of my friends had them. I have noticed that the 360 usually has the edge in terms of graphics/performance.
The ps3 has aged fairly well, not too many hardware issues and the xmb still looks good, the bluray drive also helps keep it relevant in this day and age.
To be honest the 360's hardware issues are really irritating, rrod, disc drives etc. However if you find a 360 that has been looked after and is a certain motherboard revision (jasper motherboard) you're good to go, thay are practically immune to rrod, more so that the slim and e models, I've had an e model red light.
In my opinion it all boils down to which appeals to you more.
Ps3 - pros: Blu-ray, solid game library/exclusives, typically more reliable, free online play, easy to mod/jailbreak.
Ps3 cons: store is buggy and outdated, in my experience they crash more, games typically don't run as smooth.
Xbox 360 pros: great games and exclusives, you don't have to install disc games to the hdd, removable/transferable hard drive (no formatting, so if your 360 dies you can just wack your hard drive into different console and job done), online store works really good still.
Xbox 360 cons: you have to pay to play online, more common hardware issues, no bluray, early models have no hdmi and are doomed to fail.
#BIGFACTS... TEAM XBOX!!
I'm so lucky to own the Halo 4 Slim console limited edition without any issues for 11 years now. The best xbox 360 console I ever owned after temporarily owning 2 white xbox 360's and 1 Elite console.

As someone who still uses both, in 2023 the 360 is a much smoother experience. I prefer the PS3 and it’s library of games overall, but it’s full of bugs in 2023. The 360 still has a usable store that STILL runs weekly game deals. Good luck navigating the PS3 store without your console rebooting. You can tell Sony has the console on life support
Yup I agree with you. PS3 have better exclusives (they were more action packed and gave great adventures) and the Xbox 360 have a smoother UI. Also, mine haven't crashed once since I got it so I'm very happy about that.

The Xbox 360E has HDMI out. I am not sure if the earlier 360 models have native HMDI.

I went through 8 360s due to RROD and I’d still choose the 360. I have 3 slims and a RROD launch model.
I have a 60GB PS3 that has GLOD, and was more devastated when it failed. I even kept my Other OS settlement check in a frame for nostalgia. I wish that Sony would’ve put the same effort into it as the PS4. I would’ve bought another one.
That’s makes no sense why have all those 360’s why have a 360 at all when series x/s is backwards compatible? Duh
@@gerardMcNulty xbox one/series are still missing alot of games that I and many others would want to see. Also I'd argue the nostalgia factor and I personally prefer playing games on the original hardware.
that's wild. I've had 1 of my 4 360's ever rrod and it was because it fell while in use... sold 2, the one I have left runs amazing, some new thermal paste and she's just about new
now tell people how you stored your console while playing, the rrod after the first version was almost none existent. so you must have either had loads of first versions, or you store them in a cabinet with the door closed letting it turn into an oven. which would be on you then.
because i am telling you right now, i have 7 xbox 360's and not a single one of them went rrod. so something tells me you are fibbing a bit.
@@gerardMcNulty the backwards compatibility is missing literally all the games that I need a 360 for.
Rest are already on pc/ emulateable on pc.
PS3, without a doubt. Far better exclusive games. People keep saying “multiplats ran better on XBox” but that was only true for the first half of the generation. 2013 was the final year of the 7th Gen before XB1 and PS4 came out. The biggest multiplats of the year- GTA V, Tomb Raider, Metro: Last Light, Metal Gear Rising Revengence, Bioshock Infinite- ALL ran better on PS3, per Digital Foundry, etc. And again, the exclusives weren’t even close; PS3 by a mile.
L.A. Noire also ran better on PS3
Took 40+ hours to make. I need a shower..

Ps3 has the same 512mb ram as 360
@@richardgraham4827 Aren't you maybe combining the RAM and VRAM? In that case, yes it's technically 512MB, but is has 256MB of XDR DRAM & 256MB of VRAM. Search on Google if you'd want :)
For Real 😮
Great vid as always :). Would've been interesting to see a short comparison of both consoles hacking scene (PS3HEN, homebrew etc) since that is often one of the main reasons people are buying old-gen consoles as far as I've been able to tell.
(7:47) Also just a few weeks ago, quite a few popular titles got delisted from the store including many Assassin’s Creed games as well as The Witcher 2, Left 4 Dead 2, and many other games, so I wouldn't be surprised if the store gets shutdown in a year or two. :P
Thanks! Yeah that's true it sure would make an interesting video. I've seen many people purchasing modded, chipped or hacked consoles these days. Had a 360 S with RGH back in the day, worked seamlessly. And for the store, it will at least be up for about 1,5 years, so it's still plenty of time. Though, I don't know why anyone would buy games on the store except for the ones that you can't find a physical copy of. The disc versions are tend to be cheaper.
I use the PlayStation 3 fat still in 2023
the best generation of "modern" gaming hands down ! honestly i like both ps3 and 360 ! ps3 was the last time i really enjoyed playstation ! if i had to choose just one i would go with the 360....but i do own and enjoy both 😎
When you mention the red ring of death, you should mention the ps3 fat models yellow light of death too. The fat models are dying a lot more than Xboxes. Basically the same design flaw of the gpu.
Yep that's absolutely true.
Giving that the homebrew scene for the PS 3 is very active and constantly evolving makes this a very easy pick. As a owner of different PS3 models, I can say that the best overall console to get is the slim, due to the moding capabilities and the build quality. Just watch out for the last slims produced before the super slim. They accept HEN only, just like the super slim. From a design perspective, the fat is the best, but when it comes to reliability, the fat is the last one to get in my opinion. Just something I picked along after years of moding and refurbishing PS 3 s. The super slim is also a great console. With little maintainance it runs relatively cool, silent and putting away the external build quality, the inside is very well built. Only downside, it can only accept HEN as a custome firmware, wich I don't see as such a great problem as others do. My conclusion, if you don't want to open and fiddle around with your PS 3 and skip all the headaches, stay away from the fat.
Yeah for the best experience do not get the fat. The reason I got it was simply due to the amazing deal that I was put upon, and so far the console is running surprisingly well. But the question is for how long it'll do that.
@@Odeboo I hope you can enjoy it for a long time. ✌️
problem is this is a review based on the consoles themselves. not the modding community that hacked the console. because hell people even had emus on the xbox series systems.
personally I have both and love both. the 360 was my first hd console and I still have my og model from 2008. I also have a hacked launch ps3 from around the same time that's backwards compatible. and as of now I use the ps3 more due to it's blu-ray playback, it's currently my only blu-ray player but I got a ps4 coming in the mail soonish
I have bought PS3 Slim for 40€ with 8 games and 2 controllers, and even is compatabile with CFW, witch make it even better, 1tb hard drive upgrade and you are good to play anything you want.
I would have to say the Xbox 360 is better then the PS3 I own both systems in my opinion Xbox 360 just had the better lineup of games
I find both consoles very appealing. both have their individual strengths and weaknesses. Apart from the fact that the PS3 initially had massive difficulties with programming due to the cell chip, it later showed top titles. Of course, the developer kits were usually only available for larger developers, which meant that they could get more out of the hardware. The Xbox 360, on the other hand, was the dominant console from the start because it performed better, especially when it came to multiplatform implementations. Back then I was only an Xbox gamer and the PS3 passed me by. Years later I got the slim one that I currently use. I'm catching up on what I missed back then. Just the Uncharted series or Killzone trilogy. These are top games. MGS 4, Last of Us are absolute top sellers. The same on the xbox 360 with the gears of war series or halo. Today I'm playing the old 360 titles on the Xbox Series S and they're great fun again. Ultimately it's a matter of taste, but I personally think the Sony and Xbox games are great and are usually more fun than today's ones.

Great video and comparison. The PS3 Fat looks amazing. Did not want to shell out over $600 for it. Did got the PS3 Slim for $300 a few years later and still have that. Great to play Blu Rays on. I do see them in yard sales and swamp meets and pick them up for $5 to $10 each console. High chance of getting the Red Ring for the Xbox 360 or the YLOD for the PS3. They both could be fix.
The game libraries for both are amazing. Maybe only played like 5-6 games on each system due to lack of time.
I have both in the Slim version…just got the XBOX 360, so I can’t give an opinion on which I like better…yet.
Both console's are both good console's what hampered the PS3 was the price on launch which let it down a lot. The red ring of death was Xbox down side. But what made both console's good was the games to play. An what most people did with their PS3 was when they put a 1 or 2 tb harddrive in their PS3 console.
The honest question: both are 🐐
gone through 8 360s and only 2 ps3. what i can't stand about the 360 is the damn menus. game wise they both have a good library
When it comes to the ps3 my favorite model will always be the original even though I’ve always had the super slim. I choose the og model mainly because it could play ps2 games natively and the super slim couldn’t
Why are people facing so many ps3 store issues? Works fine for me, slow but fine
Maybe could depend on what region you’re located in, but I’m not sure.
@@Odeboo I've switched regions a lot, it always worked. 16 years in and my ps3 is in mint condition. No scratches or marks nothing just that beautiful ps3 slim, 250 gigs
i know most ppl clown on the ps3 super slim but it’s the one i had as a kid so im nostalgic towards it, just rebought the azure blue version to relive some memories
Which one give more fps and graphic? is there a high defrent or not?
They both have 512mb of ram. But the ps3 is split into 256mb of ram for the system and 256mb for the graphics. In contrast the Xbox 360 has 512mb of unified ram. Which can be divided in any shape or form as needed. So With that being said. When it comes to playing different titles. The Xbox 360 is far more versatile and can handle any game that the ps3 can and can handle many more games that the ps3 can not. The ps3 is limited due to this reason. Xbox 360 is the stronger more capable console.
8:04 Actually, the Metro use to have tons of ads.
I own both at the moment and i have to go with the xbox 360. If you get a later model the red ring should be a non issue. Alot of early 3rd party games on the ps3 just dont run well if thats your thing. However both are great and the ps3 has the last of us which alone is worth playing

- The Xbox 360 store servers are shutting down this year in July. Rumors are that everything else is next on the list.
- halo series and ninja gaiden black + ninja gaiden 2 (original xbox 360 version) better than all of playstation exclusives combined
- Not true. They both had great exclusives during this era, but I prefer Playstation more.
- only the launch ps3 is backwards compatible with ps2 while any xbox 360 is backwards compatible with any xbox game
- Later models are backwards compatible too via official the software emulator that can be unlocked by using custom firmware. In addition, the PS3 hardware is far superior to the 360 albeit more complex. PS3 had everything from wifi, bluetooth, bluray and even its entire power supply built right into the console. Not so on the 360 which still needed an additional addon to compete (like how the 360 controller needed batteries). On the 360 the power brick alone was huge and the size of a real brick and even had its own fan.
- 360 arguably has better customization, especially right now with all the free stuff in the marketplace
- Nope, just look at how the ps3 did live video backgrounds pretty much from the start. In addition, PS3 launched with "other OS" allowing you to install Ubuntu Linux onto it which in turn made it a full blown PC and gaming console combined into a single box. This feature was later removed by Sony but you can still install Linux on it.
- 360 has avatars while ps3 doesnt
- I don't care much for avatars. Those days have long passed.
- with an adapter you can plug in headphones to the 360 controller and listen to your game quietly
- Fair point, 360 had better voice chat options. I agree.
- anything is fast with an ssd
- Not anything, but a lot of things. Whatever the case, the PS3's hard drive can be swapped within a few seconds as it officially supports this - the 360 does not.
- xbox one slim and elite have built in wifi as well
- Only later models got that upgrade whereas the first batch of consoles did not ship with this feature, making it the inferior product in terms of overall out-of-the-box features. Add to that the tremendous rrod failure rate that far eclipsed and surpassed anything that Playstation and Nintendo was dealing with back then = not so good. Not a quality product.
- the common consensus is that the 360 controller is one of the best controllers of all time and superior to the ps3 controller
- Not in my book. I prefer the PS3 controller in every way, including the fact that I didn't have to manually change its batteries like a kids toy. PS3 controller feels more premium and I prefer its patented button and joystick layout too.
- xbox 360 was and always will be better than ps3. yall had the ps2 and now the ps5. the 360 will forever be a microsoft w.
- Not in my book. In the end, the PS3 actually surpassed the 360 in overall wordwide sales. In addition, the PS3 will most likely outlive the 360 in terms of all things online and multimedia too (PS3 is still getting Bluray updates to this day). To me both are good consoles, but I very much prefer the PS3 for a number of reasons. Microsoft is not known for quality products, see Windows and DirectX. Microsoft is not Apple. Sony and Nintendo, on the other hand, come very close to Apple's premium quality in terms of hard- and software and neither of them use Windows in the background either.

Xbox 360 for Third party games, PS3 for exclusive game's.

still have both of them but i like 360 bc i grew up with it. I never even played my ps5 in a long time bc of the ps3 and xbox360
About the PS3, it also depends if you wanna be able to play PS2 games on it natively or not. If so, you should opt for a CECHA/B/E or C model but maintenance on those is pretty rough as they’re running fairly hot after all those years and the failure rate of them is pretty high. Mine has recently died a GLOD death. Apart from that, they’re also the most expensive ones due to their backwards-compatibility. However, if you just wanna have a reliable and cool running system without the need for a custom firmware, choose a CECH-3000 series PS3 Slim, as they run absolutely great and cool, even with standard fan speeds compared to anything prior.
Well..... If you get a Ps2, then you do not need a Ps3 for that.
@@brostenen The point of having that specific PS3 model is so that you don’t even need to plug in your PS2. Games also gonna look better on there due to better anti-aliasing.
@@LNCRFT Yes. But you get shitty compatibility. And a Ps2 plus a good upscaler will give you the best in the long run. And it is cheaper. And it will last longer.
Using a BC Ps3 and you also have to deal with the fact that it do not last. Yellow light of death or was it red? Anyway. Fatt Ps3 will go bad and those that are still working, will die fast. Just how it is.
Ps2 and a Ps3-Slim is the best solution. Just get a good upscaler like a RetroTink. Personally I will not pay that much for a Ps3 BC.
@@brostenen If you maintain a fully backwards compatible PS3 well, it won’t die on you that fast and it has the same compatibility as a PS2 slim. Any FAT PS3 has a higher failure rate if you don’t maintain them well. That also includes using a higher fan speed, cleaning the console, replacing thermal paste, removing the IHS and changing the thermal paste on the die. I have a PS3 and a PS5 for all my PlayStation games from PS1 up to PS5 with just 2 consoles. It couldn’t be any better. And my PS3 just cost me 40 bucks from a private seller in my local area.
@@LNCRFT BC Ps3 have a cap issue. And the chips are running too hot, due to 65nm and not 45nm on the slim. Hence you will end up having to delid the chips and apply new thermal paste. At some point, you need to change the caps as well. And ultimately you will have to reball the chips.
Not many people can do this. And not many have money to pay a professional to do this.
If you really want to be able to play some Ps2 games on a Ps3, then get a CECH-20xx or CEHC-21xx and install CFW. Then get a Ps2 for those few games you like, but can not run on a Ps3 with CFW.
Ask yourself.... Do you really need to be able to play all Ps2 releases yourself. Or is it just a case of "look what I own".
Gotta do a deep dive comparison on home brew between these and the wii
They are both great consoles for different reasons
I bought the Xbox 360 launch console (white one) only 20GB of storage in Nov. 2005. 4 months later I got the ring of death and trade it with another Xbox 360 white console again which I never had issues and kept it till I sold it to my friend when the Elite was launched in spring 2007. I never had issues with the Elite except like 4 years later the tray wouldn't open due to most likely debris inside until I trade it in with the release of Halo 4 slim console edition 320GB storage which I still own it as of 2023 without any issues whatsoever. The best Xbox 360 based of how it looks, storage, performance and never having any issues.
Would be nice if the ps4-5 could play ps1-3 games disc I had to bring out my ps3 to play dead space 1,2,3 and other games.
Hi! I need some opinions so I can make my decision. I played on an Xbox 360 (offline) from 2014 until 2022 (I had to give it away to my cousins since my family bought an Xbox Series S). I've never owned any of the PlayStation consoles. I've realized just how much I miss playing The Sims 3 and other old games on my Xbox 360 rather than the newer games available on the newer consoles. I decided that I'll buy either Xbox 360 or PS3 one day so I can play my old games again, but I can't decide which one to buy. Which one should I buy and why?
PS3 for wrestling games on ps2 wwe here comes the pain
Ps3 I have a 360 still and a Xbox 1 I play my Xbox 1s more cause of gamepass and my ps4 I still play that but I’m gonna get another ps3 hopefully jail broken so I really don’t play my 360 that much anymore
Personally I'd say get the PS3 Slim for reliability and wonderful exclusives. But if you want to play Forza, Gears of War or perhaps Halo, then consider the Xbox 360 S or E 😊
Remember, your not going to find it like it was in the days, now it's all about mods, that's why I don't get a PS3, I have a 4 and 5, but to much of a hassle for an older game console.
I hope you went with the ps3 because most good Xbox games are still playable on the series x
The 360 store is dead now, so the PS3 offers more online options and you can even play PlayStation home again, but you have to do some steps first.
This is probably one of the hardest comparisons and a lot of it might just be down to opinion.
Graphics/framerate: 360 - even if the PS3's Cell was stronger, the developers didn't want to bother to learn it so a lot of games would run a bit worse and play at 640p resolutions to compensate for the lack of optimization.
Backwards compatibility: PS3 - the early PS3s were fully backwards compatible but it was removed very early on. Even so, the later PS3s still kept a significant PS2 software emulator that is capable of running plenty of PS2 games while keeping the PS1 emulation intact. Meanwhile the 360, offered some classic Xbox emulation, however it leaves a lot to be desired.
Online infrastructure: 360 - the PS3 had free online multiplayer but that's where its perks end. Everything else about it was much more sluggish when compared to the 360 whether it was the digital store or the multiplayer component of the game, plus for some reason, a few big games didn't even release digitally on PS3.
Design: PS3 - I have to give it to the launch PS3, it's a premium product all around, especially compared to the launch 360. It's a shame it has such a high failure rate. But if if we count the later models, then the 360 E easily beats the crap out of the Super Slim PS3. One of the ugliest consoles I have ever seen.
XMB/Dashboard: PS3 - initally, I would give it to the 360 but I think the PS3 XMB catched up pretty well with more intuitive UI, personality and it's very smooth if you're on any firmware above 4.80. While the 360's dashboard imo downgraded over the years, it's much more bland now. Also PS3 themes are superior, sorry.
Games: 360 - this is entirely opinion based. I made a list of 360 and PS3 exclusives I would like to play and ended up with slightly more 360 games. Plus, I liked the fact it had a lot of PS2 era HD ports like Burnout Revenge or Just Cause. They're basically exclusives due to how much better they look, play and often had some extra content too.
Overall:
PS3 - 3 points
Xbox 360 - 3 points
Mad respect for taking your time to make that list and your statements are solid 🤝
i agree on all points, i think if xbox kept the blades theme, but put work into it, that would have been down right awesome, i did not like the nxe theme, and i absolutely hated the metro theme.
but yeah that ps3 store was horrible. tho i will give ps3 credit for putting wifi in the ps3 out the gate. i had a wifi adapter for the xbox 360, but my god their wifi at the time was horrible, and you lost a usb port.
the controller tho, the 360 controller was perfect for me. i have rather large hands, and that fits the xbox 360 perfectly. and it had weight, where as the ps3 controller wasn't terrible, but it was to light and felt like it would fall apart in my hand.
I like both and own both but for me I’d rather the ps3. Heaps of awesome exclusives and games r dirt cheap as rite and coz the discs r blu ray discs they r generally not really scratched up unlike a lot of Xbox 360 discs. I really do like how the 360 u can save ur game saves to the cloud as I have multiple 360s and Xbox ones so I’m able to have my game saves from any of them providing I’m signed into my Microsoft account. The ps3 is also really easy to softmod too which unlocks a huge amount of features
I can hear your Swedish accent as you said "10:31" unshorted series? Mean uncharted? To be fair we both have similar languages in terms of syntax. Just remember to add the T in RS pronunciations to words. 11:22 Some* xD It's okay.

The 360 had an ATI graphics card, was not made by nVidia. Nvidia did make the gpu for the original xbox though

I have a 2tb hdd in my modded 360 and a 1tb hdd in my modded ps3. I play the shit out of both still.
I got both. Yes, PS3 has online gameplay but sooner or later all of those servers will be shutdown. 360, on the other hand, has System Link, which means that in compatible games like Call of Duty Black Ops 2 you can connect consoles directly online, in which one of the participant´s consoles is the server and the others the clients. It´s very easy to use and Black Ops 2 is always packed on weekends. And, of course, totally free, you need to have the console modded with RGH and Aurora software, better than the annoying Freestyle one. PS3, of course has better JRPGs if you are into that and the best version of The Last of Us to date (forget the remasters, they made characters uglier to send "the message"). I love both, play the 360 a little bit more. And also, you can up the speed of the fans on both consoles when they are modded. Sound like airplanes but it´s necessary, those consoles were basic kitchen stoves, made to heat up and die after a while, so better speed up those fans a little, don´t let the consoles go beyond 60º Celsius.
Good points! Used RGH a while ago and it's really great. And for the fans, yeah it's probably best for the consoles if they ramped up the fans, although my 360 S has been running relatively cool when playing graphic intense games, found it pretty surprising myself.
You can do LAN play on PS3 as well. Even the Wii U version of BO2 has system link, so the 360 doesn’t have an advantage there
Imagine have a cat and you go another place and come back then you saw your cat is playing on Xbox 😂
PS2, Xbox360, & The Dreamcast are my top 3
I agree with da first 2 for sure lol

As a huge playstation i like the 360 a little bit more
I think the 360 is easily the better buy, especially now. A lot of the best exclusives from the PS3 have remasters and remakes on the new consoles, or will since Sony seems to love doing that, so unless you want to play the original games for some reason you’ll mostly be playing multiplats, which all ran better on the 360, and some being nearly unplayable like Bethesda games (except for Oblivion). Xbox 360 also has an upscaling chip up to 1080p which makes titles look a bit better on 1080 and 4k displays whereas with PS3 you’re stuck with the native 540p - 720p resolutions. Its also a lot easier to find good condition 360 controllers whereas genuine PS3 controllers are harder to come by with the amount of fakes. PS3 has a few pros over the 360 like Blu-Ray so large games will only need one disc and no power brick, and it’s also region free so you can use discs from any country, and of course free online but you wouldn’t really be playing online seriously on these consoles anyway so it doesn’t matter too much.
I think that when some games have their online servers shut down, the needing to pay for online is not that big of an issue. Even if some game has online servers, I don't mind paying for it, because Xbox 360 has stronger hardware which means better performance and graphics. I own both consoles, but for me, Xbox 360 is the better option.
It’s not tho PlayStation had the better games

Coming from someone who owned both, the PS3 aged better by miles. The 360 has the better controller, but the PS3 makes for a better entertainment system, has free online play, and has great exclusive games to offer. In 2024 the PS3 still seems like a modern console, whereas the 360 feels a lot more aged, albeit still able to play games to a great standard for the generation. For me though, if you want to use a console for more than just gaming, the PS3 wins hands down. Oh, and it has an in-built Blu-Ray player (admittedly niche but still neat)
First of all, it's a crime to own a phat ps3 that isn't backward compatible with ps2 and ps1 games, as it's a legitimate option to own that version of the ps3 and ps5 to cover the entire playstation library. With that said, the og PS3 curbstomps all versions of the 360.
I have both. Bought one of each this year. Even though I have a one x and ps4 pro hooked up to my 55inch Qled in my bed room.
The ps3 is better value for money because of the exclusives you can play on it and the Blu-ray player.
I have both of the 2 connected to my 24 inch PlayStation simulview monitor I have on a table in my lounge near my kitchen area. I got them because they were cheap. Both were around £40. Got the 360s Earlier this month and the ps3 around July.
I wanted to watch my Blu-ray movie collection in my lounge after my older ps3 consoles that are hooked up to my wall mounted 40 inch TV, Blu-ray players stopped working and I thought I’d try out the 3rd party games from that generation that I either never played or missed playing, but for my Xbox 360s and to test out the OG Xbox backward compatibility.
My ps3 is only a 40gb model so I can’t fit all of the big game installs after all the latest firmware updates so games like GTA episodes from Liberty city and fight night champion were bought for the 360s because there aren’t mandatory game installs and I got the Xbox for the few Xbox exclusives I missed out when 360 was current gen like Alan Wake,the dlcs from the main game and the arcade stand alone game American nightmare, left 4 dead, gears of war 1-3 and dead rising 1,2 and case zero. I play fight night round 4 on the ps3 and fight night champion on the 360s. I’ve had fun revisiting games like Uncharted 1-3, last of us, heavy rain, heavenly sword, resistance 2 and 3, Killzone 2 and 3, motor storm 1 and 2 on the ps3 and some of the latest blu ray movies which look amazing even on the PlayStation 24 inch simulview monitor.
3:11 the GPU of the Xbox 360 came from AMD/ATI
Yes I realized that after posting the video.
With the ps3 u can download any copyrighted song or movie and make your own library playlist i dont know if you can do that with xbox
Correction the 360s and ps3 super slim changes goes beyond the shell to this day they cannot be hacked/jailbroken like the slim models.
Dostum benimde bir PlayStation3'üm var, şu an için bile harika bir deneyim olduğunu düşünüyorum yalnız mağaza gerçekten çok yavaş ve xmb menüsü arkada oyun açıkken hiçbir işe yaramıyor.
both consoles had a defective gpu on launch. (rrod for 360, ylod for ps3)
also x360 gpu was made by ATI while PS3's was made by NVIDIA
My xbox 360 is ran out of storage ,how do i get more storage? (Only 2 mb left)
Buy a hard drive if you don’t have one for your model. Otherwise you can do as I do which is plugging in a USB-stick to get extra storage.

In terms of collecting and playing games on to this day, I prefer the Xbox 360. I have both systems and lucky enough to have kept my Ps3 60 gb bc, but when it comes to solely replaying games I prefer my Xbox 360 slim 250gb because of the graphics and performance. Better graphics in terms of multi platform games of course, cos the exclusive ps3 games are made different. Also the the 360 has the games I actually replay like smackdown vs raw 07, burnout revenge and naruto broken bond. Not to say Ps3 sucks cos it don’t, 100% love my OG ps3 but the games I grew up playing on it like TLoU and Uncharted series have been ported and improved already. Only one game I’m waiting on is MGS4 to be ported or remake. Anyway, both consoles rock but to replay and even collect games on the Xbox 360 wins for me.
Remember also a lot of 360 games didnt make the back compat. Also the 360 is back compat with a ton load of og xbox games. So thats i keep my resident evil blood red console and i bought the 360e model as well for back up and the 500GB hdd. Awesome look on the consoles.
Well if secondhand market values are anything to go by, on average PS3s are worth about twice as much as X360s; and then the PS2 game playing models are worth twice even that
I definitely prefer the PS3, specifically the white slim, not to be confused with the white super slim, but I also really like the white XB360 slim
I still own both the Xbox 360 Halo 4 Limited edition console and the slim PS3 and I own an Xbox 360 E console which I prefer because you can plug in earphones unlike the other 360. I prefer playing the PS3 this day and age as it is free to play online and I have a huge library of games from PS Plus and PS3 is a great Blu-ray player as I own a lot of them.
Solid decision! And yea the PS3 is still a great Blu-ray player :)
The Halo 4 console is a good looking console and the controllers. I still own the Halo 4 console with the box included. On Halo 3, I played around 23K games on matchmaking, custom games not included.
I completely forgot about the bong from the red ring on XBOX. I went through 4 white Xbox consoles back in the day.
Bought both, and will buy more versions down the line. I bought the 360 E because the design felt refreshing, but will also buy the S for the original look. Bought the PS3 Slim, but I think I'll skip on the super slim version and just buy the FAT.
It’s funny how everyone can’t see PS3 store was going to close and Sony did something else to make sure it closes for good by removing credit card and PayPal options on the PS3 xbox 360 still accepts credit cards still gets sales on the Xbox 360 games like call of duty black ops 2 costing $14.99 while the PS3 stays forever $49.99 once I unlock all the trophies for every game on PS3 I’m done using the PS3 xbox 360 maybe isn’t blue Ray but I’m not using it to watch blue Ray movies it’s to play games and every game goes 1080 p on Xbox 360 PS3 is 720 P on most of their games and since nobody really plays on the PS3 anymore online free.means nothing the GTA 5 online was shut down a year ago
best designs : PS3 Slim and 360 S
Just like people. People look better as slims.
Does anyone have a way to play these consoles on modern TVs or monitors? Both consoles look very pixaleted on both displays. Can an hdmi upscale remedy the problem?
Some versions doesn't support HDMI. On your other comment you said that you're still rocking your Xbox 360 Elite and PS3 Slim and they have an HDMI output. Try checking your settings for each console and screen because when I first got my 360 it was set to 480p, which I could change to 1080p. Otherwise you can try to upscale it you want but I shouldn't be necessary I believe.
Get a 720p plasma tv.
i have both but ps3 has the edge since is free to play online
no way peeps still fighting on which system is/was best LOL, it's 2023 both systems are really good in retrospect considering their large libraries and current price mark. if you had a ps3 growing up, I'd say pick up an xbox 360 they hella cheap rn (even in my 3rd world country) and try it, have that experience with clear mind and be unbiased, you're not on sony's payroll. Likewise if you had an x360, get a ps3 slim and try it - whether you want them to be jailbroken or not it's your own decision but it's also a nice experience to have whether for pirated games or emulators and other stuff you can't normally do.
seeing ur 360 is bringing back memeories and making my tears to come out
Cool video, learned something new about the newer xbox 360 models. I'm still rocking my 360 elite and ps3 slim.
Thank you glad you found it interesting and learned something! Hope you enjoy your consoles :)

Where game is more and best ps3 or 360?
I just bought PS3 super Slim yesterday and it plays beautifully & really it looks really sharp on my flat screen 32 inch Samsung TV and it plays PS1 games and I prefer the PS3 over the 360 Xbox one and over the GameCube and Wii and Wii u Nintendo switch
You say the PS3 has 256MB of RAM this isnt entirely true, it has 256MB RAM of quite high speed RAM for the CELL CPU and a separate 256MB RAM for the GPU so in total 512MB
ithink xbox 360 better than ps3 because of graphics it run very smooth games at 720p and 1080p/ps3 at 640p
Everyone gets the PS3 ram incorrect.. It Had 512mb.. shared. 256 MB XDR DRAM system and 256 MB GDDR3 video
I know. I should've mentioned DRAM instead of just RAM, but I said that the console have 256MB of RAM and half the VRAM compared to the Xbox 360, which makes it 512MB of shared RAM.
360 better for most singleplayer multiplatform games. PS3 better for it's free online, exclusives, and rpgs. They both kinda round eachother out but if you could only own one. PS3 for sure as you can play most relevent 360 games on Xbox One or Series. While PS3 is the only thing that can play it's games.
I have to agree that Microsoft have done a pretty decent job on bringing many 360 games to the One and Series, but there are still plenty missing which is understandable due to the 360's large library size :)
@@Odeboo That's why I said most relevent 360 games. They did manage to get most of the main ones up on it. There's only a handful of my own 360 games I actually need my 360 for. Mostly niche titles and licensed sports games. Biggest ones not being on there are Skyrim and GTAV but you got full on remastered ports of those. It's still better than the 0 PS3 games PS4 and PS5 can run. I don't count streaming on PS Now.
Yeah, some games that I play on the 360 that haven’t been ported over are older Forza titles, a few Kinect games and Skylanders. But I’m planning on getting more games that haven’t been ported and those I’ve played in the past to relive some great moments 👍
Could never get behind the ps3's xmb. Just never clicked, every time I use it, I immediately start thinking of what 360 game I'll be playing after this haha
If you're into this generation of console gaming you really should have both. Multiplats are better on the 360 9/10 times, the 360 also has the better controller. PS3's user interface is much better organized, snappier, and makes for one of the best media centers ever released to the public. The list of supported formats is crazy, it still makes for a solid media center. Most of the multiplats look pretty bad on it though and as someone who outright avoids PC gaming that's still a big deal to me. The PS3 generally offers more, at least its store is still active and it seemed to have more support than the 360 towards the end of their generation, with a few of the later multiplats actually being more desirable experiences on the PS3. I'd argue the 360 has better exclusives but I think most people would prefer PS3 exclusives. I still prefer the 360 overall because it's the only console with good versions of The Darkness and F.E.A.R. It just plays games better.
PS3 has hen available for all consoles and allows so many customization options
PS3 but at the time 360 was the console. By the time the PS3 eventually came out, the 360 was far cheaper also the online was better albeit you had to pay for it. Now I think that the PS3 graphics and lack of people on these consoles has shown itself to being the better console. You can't go wrong with a 360 though
ps3 is easier to mod, upgrade HDD and has free multiplayer, however, the 360 versions of cross platform games look and run better, so just get the one with the exclusives you like the most
The Playstation 3 even have a yellow light of death when it's not working same just like the Xbox 360 Red ring of death at 3:47
You forgot to mention that the 360 can use a 2 TB USB.
Or SSD
