For games, it's DVD9, very rarely will they use DVD5.

Xbox 360 uses exclusively DVD9 for games. There's been a time where there were DVD5 iso images, but they required a special kind of firmware hack and only worked with Samsung drives, that's why these were slowly abandoned. Sometimes you may encounter compressed isos smaller than 4,37 Gb, but uncompressed they will be DVD9.

I have both. Graphics for the PS3 aren't better than 360's, in fact in some games it's the other way around if only slightly.

The 360 has more games than the PS3 and Sony also lost a lot of exclusive titles. Heck FF13 is coming out for 360 ffs which many thought to be unpossible

I haven't touched my PS3 to play games since finishing MGS4, it serves as my blu-ray player and media server (using PS3 Media Server whcih rocks !).

My 360 sure is ******* loud though.

I grew up loving Sony but lately, I feel as though the Xbox360 is taking over. Few reasons:

- The Playstation-exclusive games are slowly dwindling. Even the GTA series has jumped ship onto other consoles

- The ability to crack the 360 makes it very appealing for gamers and people with tight budgets

- Even if/when they crack the PS3, they would have to burn in Blu-ray using a Blu-ray burner and Blu-ray discs.... equally as expensive.

- The 360 is great if you're on a budget but if you have tons of money to throw at Sony, then PS3 surely is the way to go!

Exactly. Not to mention Devil May Cry 4, Virtua Fighter 5, Ace Combat series.

Tho I am looking forward to God of War 3 which is PS3 only.

i think x360 is the best choice atm, if you are looking only for a game station.

its cheaper, moddable, with same games as ps3, and same graphic spec etc.

Ps3 is good only for BR i think.

I prefer Ps3 mainly because of the bluray option :)

X Box 360 any day... only issue is the heating up of the unit after extended play and the rings of death ( red)

Well that happens a lot less now since the Jasper motherboard revision, which you'd likely have if you bought a 360 this year or late last year, so you don't have to worry about RRODs that much. Although it still is f*****g noisy. Have I mentioned that it still is LOUD ? IT'S LIKE I HAVING A JET IN THE LIVING ROOM ABOUT TO EXPLODE IN YOUR FACE SO nvm.
