Playstation 3 Starter Kits - Is Santa Bringing One To Your House This Christmas?
It's PS3 vs Xbox 2008 this year, so which should you get as the holidays approach? Both of these next generation systems have incredible power and graphics, but how can you choose which will make the best gift? What should you use to judge PS3 vs Xbox 2008?
One of the first things you might be considering is the cost of the system. At the time when the PS3 was launched its cost was close to six hundred dollars, which was considered to be extremely high. Coming in a close second around one hundred dollars less was the Xbox. Today's price of the PS3 is much more reasonable being around two hundred and fifty dollars for a starter kit, and the Xbox can be purchased for just fewer than two hundred dollars. When it comes to making a decision based on price, the Xbox is the clear winner.
What games can you get? You can't get away with just buying the system, you have to buy the games too. Which system has the best games? Well the Xbox 360 has 1000 games, but you can also play the 500 games that came with the first Xbox. The Playstation 3 comes with 600 games, but another 1000 from the earlier Playstation can also be played. So you see that the Playstation comes out only slightly ahead.
One of the most important aspects of modern game systems is the online capabilities. Both the Xbox and the PS3 have excellent online programs and many games that can be played with friends and other people over the internet. The online programs also offer ways to purchase and download new games directly to your system.
One downside to the Xbox 360 is system stability. Since it was released, there were numerous complaints about hardware failures that ultimately resulted in lawsuits and recalls. The PS3 did not have similar problems, but issues with the Xbox have since been mostly resolved.
In the end, there are many things to consider when deciding which system to buy for the holidays. Price, games, online support, and hardware capabilities are all important things to think about. Decide which is right for you, and you can make your choice for your gifts.
