For you, which one is better.
Xbox or PS3?
Me I have an Xbox and is thinking of buying a PS3

you've left it a bit late haven't you?

Hang on to your money and put it towards a PS4.

You couldn't have said this later , I'm sorry but with the 8th Genration zooming in " PS3 Vs Xbox 360 " topics are just obsolete.

But to further satisfy Your curiosity , here is my explaination.

Graphics wise they are both incredibly similar , not much difference only darker contrast on the PS3.

Meanwhile PS3 games can hold more data , since it's a Blu-Ray format , this was evidently shown last month when GTA V came out , because the DVD could not simply handle the massive amount of data , the Xbox 360 version needed 2 discs to play the game , one for installing and one for actually playing it.

The PS3 needed just one Blu-Ray disc.

One thing the PS3 has as a major advantage over the Xbox 360 , is that failure rates are much more unlikely to occur , I bought a PS3 in 2008 and it only got the YLOD May last year , and that was only because I didn't dust it or look after it properly.

Most of my friends have an Xbox 360 , and it breaks down after only 2 years and they have to get another one.

The PS3 was released one year after the Xbox 360 so Technogly had slightly improved to allow more processing power in the console.

Meanwhile another advantage the PS3 has over the Xbox 360 is that to play online games dosen't require You to pay any money , while on Xbox 360 You must sign up to a membership and pay monthly.

So I conclude that overall , the PS3 is the most advanced You can get in the 7th Gen collection of consoles.

To be honest though , I would just to some more research , decide for Yourself whats better , and if You're thinking of getting one , I would honestly just get what most of Your friends have , that is if Your an online type of guy.

It's entirely a matter of luck which determines how long consoles will last for... well, that and how well they are treated (or not).

My Xbox 360 is a little over 4 years old, and is a total workhorse.
It works perfectly well.
It minor-RRODed once, but I think that was purely because it was used so much that it was completely clogged with dust, and overheated because of it.
After hoovering it a little bit through the holes in the case, it's been perfectly okay ever since (that was about a year ago).

If the OP doesn't want to piss a whole lot of money away on a fancy new PS4 and £55 a pop games, then I don't really see why people seem to think that's any sort of an issue.

One positive thing about the PS3 is that since it uses blu-ray discs and those discs are more scratch resistant than your typical DVDs, buying preowned PS3 games could be viewed more of a safer bet than DVD based games.

And to the other PS3 fans, I cannot believe you neglected to state that the PS3 can use the 2.5" notebook hard drives and in that fashion, having one or two TB drives would be possible with the PS3.

I have a 360. I kind of like it but can't really recommend it over a PS3 unless you prefer the controller. I've had it for 5 years now. Every time I want to change discs, I have to either use a knife to jimmy the tray open or beat the shell of the console with the handle.

I have a 360. I had a couple of bad experiences with losing money on paid DLC that customer service couldn't seem to recover from the void, as well as the console chiseling my game discs to death a couple of times. I also have two controllers that are completely broken, because they are cheaply made pieces of crap. The thing won't play original xbox games without the additional purchase of an official 360 slim hard drive. Even with the hard drive, there are some games that Microsoft never got around to patching, Sudeki for one. I couldn't say anything about PS3, because I have never owned nor played on one.
