Well they are horrible in graphics


Common, misconception. The PS3, has the best processor out there of any console. The reason why PS3 games generally have worse graphics is because it's easier to make games with the Xbox 360, since the coding is more widely supported. The PS3's game coding is much more sophisticated. Hence, it's harder for the Devs to exploit PS3's full potential.

Xbox is still better to play online


Nothing to doubt about that. The Xbox 360 has the best online play of any console, even if it costs money. You can't really make a fuss about it.

There are more games for Xbox 360


True and I must say better ones too. However, as I said earlier, it's easier for the Devs to invest in an easier coding and a tried and tested formula. Although, that's not to say that the PS3 does not have good games. It does, but they are much fewer as compared to those for the Xbox.

its also cheaper system to by *hence more people have the xbox* the playstation overall as a system is the best system made.

Thats easy, no it is not. Xbox Live makes xbox 360 better. If PSN was better PS3 would easily be better. Xbox Live is ahead of its time though.

PS3 sucks period.
From my personal experience: Mine PS3 stopped working after 3 weeks of use. I called their 1-800 number in hope of getting help, but I spent an hour on the menu trying to figure how to get a human being on the other side. I went online to figure out how to get a human being, and I simply had to press "0" and no where on the menu did it said to press "0" to speak to a representative.
I hit "0" and I instantly got a human being, "Yay!" but that joy was shortly lived when I got someone who barely speaks English. I gave him the details on what's wrong with my PS3 (I didn't get insurance for it because I had confidence that it'll run great, like my PS1 and PS2 which both still work fine, and I didn't get insurance for them btw) So after talking to their foreign representative, he believed that I have a blue-ray dysfunction, and it'll cost me an extra $150 to fix it.
I told him I'll just e-bay it, and add a "Blue-ray dysfunction" tag on it, and hope that it'll sell.
Is it worth $300? a big f*ck no, and it'll be the last time I get anything from Sony

See what happens when your not strict about the 9/11 prolbem thoes guys would of been funny

Nice lie buddy. First off i know the whole thing was a lie, because when i first got it, i had to call playstation cuz my harddrive didn't work. Right off the bat we talked to a representative. He told us what to do, and afterwards said if its still not working, send it in and once they get it, they'll send us a brand new one. Warranties 3 months guy. If it was 3 weeks, you should been fine, and gotten a new one. So yea next time dont try to lie about having one and then afterwards saying it sucks, cuz i know from experience, and what u said was complete BS. They might have changed the call set up... im not sure. Cuz this was like 2 yrs ago that happened. But either way, sony has never been difficult to deal with whenever ive talked to them, and they've helped me out on other products as well.. So either you didn't understand what the guy was saying, or you just were tired of listening to him. Either way, you should've sent it in and got a new one, cuz there very professional about it... I got mine back in 1 and a half weeks.. Unlike xbox which takes a month.
