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 Ps3 cons: store is buggy and outdated, in my experience they crash more, games typically don't run as smooth.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!
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!
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.
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 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!
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.
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 😎
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.
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.
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 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.
A rare time where the machines are on-par. Multiplats are FAR better on 360 for the most part, and the PS3 has excellent exclusive titles. Avoid Xbox 360s before the Jasper revision, and PS3s made before March 2010 due to NEC Tokin capacitor failure. Slims/Superslims that are CECH-30xx and later also don't need delidding as often.
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.
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.
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.
I am picky in terms of games. I have a small library, but only those I like. And the size are equally 360 and Ps3. I even have a Wii, for those few games I love. Actually only Wii sports and Wii Sports Resort.
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
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 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
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 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.
The hardware don't matter unless it kept dying. Pretty much all Xbox games can be played on the new Xbox. PS3 exclusives are very few now, most of them are remastered on the PS4.
Yes as I said, I couldn't tell the difference in performance between the consoles. You're right about Xbox having ported over many games compared to PS. But there are still some hidden gems that I only find on older consoles, such as Skylanders and older Forza games for the Xbox.
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.
The XMB is unequalled to this day. PS4's UI was a really great step back and PS5 isn't doing much better. I wish they stick with this, and with the backwards compatibility and a lot of other great things PS3 did.
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
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.
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.
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.
The PS3 is definitely better in my opinion. It has an amazing Blu-Ray player that’s a physical media powerhouse, online multiplayer is free; and it has one of the best exclusive lineups of any console.
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.
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 grew up on PlayStation had a PlayStation three, but going back I would pick the Xbox 360 Xbox 360 E And it’s mostly because I actually fever form over function. It still plays awesome Xbox 360 games and I don’t necessarily care for like all the features of a council. Anyway I just want to play games. And compared to the PlayStation 3, I think the Xbox 360 E looks the nicest in my opinion, although I think the PlayStation 3 looks better than most Xbox 360 models. But I do think the Xbox 360 E looks the nicest out of all of them and better than PlayStation 3. Speaking function versus form I actually think the Xbox 360 controller is actually more functional because of the replaceable battery pack. It gives me more options to power the controller. I can use a cable to charge it. I can’t get a rechargeable battery pack or I can just use disposable AA batteries I can put it in a charging dock which is what I probably will do.
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
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
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 👍
@@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
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 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.
the ps3 is objectively better hardware, however like you said due to the complex and experimental hardware, game devs didn't want to put in the extra effort. sony did this on purpose w the hopes that devs would push their games to absolute limit. it obviously backfired and that's why a ton of games appear to have better graphics and run smoother on 360. However, sony exclusives far surpassed the graphics and smoothness such as Metal Gear Solid 4 and any naughty dog game, especially w Uncharted 3 and The Last of Us. One detail you missed is that the CPU and the GPU have switched functions. i don't understand enough to be able to explain that but the gpu on paper seems like its more advanced on 360 but it's because you're comparing apples to oranges. the PS3 is considered to be one of the most experimental gaming hardwares there is. hardware wise it is far more capable (people saystill haven't seen the extent of the systems power) but ironically is not the case in many titles because of the devs. something to consider!
Id say both but ill have to take xbox 360 bc well its the second console ive ever had while i also wanted a ps3 at the time. But i realized there was a few of my fav ps 2 games on xbox 360 until this day id be playing xbox360 we keep on upgrading it bc i want da fun to last forever.But both of them are great.
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.
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
ps3 can do something no other console can do , copy movies music and pictures to the hard drive via usb or from your network . also the xmb is so clean looking
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
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.
In 2023 (and now 2024) ps3 is for sure better. A lot of Xbox exclusives you can play on Xbox One, Series and PC, while ps3 exclusives stayed there, unless you want to pay for streaming subscription on ps4/5, which isn't even available in a lot of regions. And again, it's streaming, so it's not ideal. And the 3rd party games that aren't available on PC or through Xbox backwards compatibility you can play on ps3 itself.
I bought pre owned jailbroken ps3 in 2015.. still working in 2023.. i recommend ps3.. However cmos battery dead so i have to re enter date and time, which i can do in 10 sec at startup.. so no problem go for ps3
I'm just gonna gamble, and say the 360 is better if the games have its DLCs, but please note that the last eras were named the following. PS1 era. PS2 era. Xbox 360 era. PS4 era. So, with a bit of thought? Either PS3 for the few exclusive games that doesn't have a remaster on the next one, the PS4, or the PS1 games or PS2 games. On the other hand, a modified 360s, with a big HDD? Social life is gone. But, the PS3 is still worth it even today. Let's just hope that we do find the old games for it. As for the generation after, PS4, no discussion!
The xbox 360 is better than I thought I'm a Playstation person I always loved the ps3 after I sold my ps3 I said let me try the xbox nd I was thinking if it might of been worth it for a change cause I never had no xbox system jus ps2 and ps3 so I gave the xbox 360 a try and it great tbh and I love the xbox 360 controls more than the ps3 it's more comfortable and buttons don't break or jam easily like the ps3
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.
Ps3 got better at the end of the race because it just had better games(exclusives) to offer , better online and modding community and free online gaming
I just got a free PS3 last month and got some PS1 games to play. All work great. I love Halo too, so I got a 360. Both are cheap and great tech still, so can’t pick one over the other, yet. Need like another 10 years to decide 😂
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 2024 I own both. A modded Backwards Comp PS3 and a DVD chipped Xbox 360 S. And I have to say my PS3 serves me to play play on my CRT TV nes, snes, sega gen, GBA, PS1, PS2, 4:3 480p video content and PS3 exclusives on my 4K TV. Then my Xbox 360 plays the rest of 7th gen games and xbox exclusives on both my crt and 4K TV, I don't know why but the PS3 sucks compared to the 360 when it comes to playing third party 7th gen games (Games look darker and less buttery graphics, also frame rate is slower and choppy at times) I'd say Xbox 360 for 7th gen games and PS3 for Exclusives/ Retro Gaming.
I think its quite simple honestly, PS3 - bluray: only one disc needed to run all games, has good exclusives XBOX 360 - multimedia (titles that came out both on some 7th gen consoles) run best on it (mainly games prior to 201X), has good exclusives So. PS3 - Good design, multimedia runs ok XBOX 360 - Good design, multimedia runs good RESULT. Pick PS3 for the design and exclusives Pick XBOX 360 for multimedia, design and exclusives Basically, just a thing of taste, if you like how ps3 looks, pick it or if you like how xbox 360 looks, pick it instead of a ps3.

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.

@@kaizel2264can I mod the model E?
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!

Also, to expose another error.... You originally state that the Xbox GPU was produced by Nvidia. It was an ATI/AMD GPU.
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.

Alway nice to have both 👍
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 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!
Awesome! And I agree, great opportunity to collect games as of today!
The Xbox 360E has HDMI out. I am not sure if the earlier 360 models have native HMDI.
I have the 360 S and it does have one. The higher end 360's from 2007 and onwards started to get HDMI.
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.
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 😎
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.
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.
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 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.

A rare time where the machines are on-par.
Multiplats are FAR better on 360 for the most part, and the PS3 has excellent exclusive titles.
Avoid Xbox 360s before the Jasper revision, and PS3s made before March 2010 due to NEC Tokin capacitor failure. Slims/Superslims that are CECH-30xx and later also don't need delidding as often.
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 really like your content man, keep it up. I'm running the ps3 slim, upgraded the storage to 500gb on HEN, and I'm having a blast
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.
They are both great consoles for different reasons
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.
Due to game library, I'd go with the 360 although both are very dear to me.
I am picky in terms of games. I have a small library, but only those I like. And the size are equally 360 and Ps3. I even have a Wii, for those few games I love. Actually only Wii sports and Wii Sports Resort.
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
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.
The PS3 came out a year after the 360 and still managed to outsell it. Nuff said.
The wii came out even later and demolished both lmao.
They're both amazing consoles, for their exclusives and extras, collect both for the best time.
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
Condemned is the main reason i bought the xbox 360 and still have it , one of the best horror exclusives
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 remember playing Bioshock on a SD tv. Crazy to think about it lol
Time flies :)
The honest question: both are 🐐
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
As a huge playstation i like the 360 a little bit more
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
best designs : PS3 Slim and 360 S
Just like people. People look better as slims.
It didn’t only change the size but they became more reliable
To be honest ps3 is better than xbox 360 because
ITS NOT CAT PROTECTED LETS GO!
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.
The hardware don't matter unless it kept dying. Pretty much all Xbox games can be played on the new Xbox. PS3 exclusives are very few now, most of them are remastered on the PS4.
Yes as I said, I couldn't tell the difference in performance between the consoles. You're right about Xbox having ported over many games compared to PS. But there are still some hidden gems that I only find on older consoles, such as Skylanders and older Forza games for the Xbox.
PS2, Xbox360, & The Dreamcast are my top 3
I agree with da first 2 for sure lol
Saga 🎉
Xbox 360 was and still is way better than the ps3.
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.
The XMB is unequalled to this day. PS4's UI was a really great step back and PS5 isn't doing much better. I wish they stick with this, and with the backwards compatibility and a lot of other great things PS3 did.
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
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.
Correction the 360s and ps3 super slim changes goes beyond the shell to this day they cannot be hacked/jailbroken like the slim models.
Next PS1 vs N64
Would be cool :)
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
Both. Get both.
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.
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.

@@slyfox1483 Love ya too brother thanks for the nice comment 😃
The PS3 is definitely better in my opinion. It has an amazing Blu-Ray player that’s a physical media powerhouse, online multiplayer is free; and it has one of the best exclusive lineups of any console.
Solid opinion!
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.
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.
360 actually has a stronger GPU.
I grew up on PlayStation had a PlayStation three, but going back I would pick the Xbox 360
Xbox 360 E
And it’s mostly because I actually fever form over function. It still plays awesome Xbox 360 games and I don’t necessarily care for like all the features of a council. Anyway I just want to play games. And compared to the PlayStation 3, I think the Xbox 360 E looks the nicest in my opinion, although I think the PlayStation 3 looks better than most Xbox 360 models. But I do think the Xbox 360 E looks the nicest out of all of them and better than PlayStation 3.
Speaking function versus form I actually think the Xbox 360 controller is actually more functional because of the replaceable battery pack. It gives me more options to power the controller. I can use a cable to charge it. I can’t get a rechargeable battery pack or I can just use disposable AA batteries I can put it in a charging dock which is what I probably will do.
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
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

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 👍
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 hope we get more mods for both consoles 🎮💥. #LastGenGames #Xbox #Ps3
I completely forgot about the bong from the red ring on XBOX. I went through 4 white Xbox consoles back in the day.
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".
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.
Xbox will always win because you don’t have to deal with Sonys dual shock controller
seeing ur 360 is bringing back memeories and making my tears to come out
xbox 360 is goated☢
the ps3 is objectively better hardware, however like you said due to the complex and experimental hardware, game devs didn't want to put in the extra effort. sony did this on purpose w the hopes that devs would push their games to absolute limit. it obviously backfired and that's why a ton of games appear to have better graphics and run smoother on 360. However, sony exclusives far surpassed the graphics and smoothness such as Metal Gear Solid 4 and any naughty dog game, especially w Uncharted 3 and The Last of Us. One detail you missed is that the CPU and the GPU have switched functions. i don't understand enough to be able to explain that but the gpu on paper seems like its more advanced on 360 but it's because you're comparing apples to oranges. the PS3 is considered to be one of the most experimental gaming hardwares there is. hardware wise it is far more capable (people saystill haven't seen the extent of the systems power) but ironically is not the case in many titles because of the devs. something to consider!
Id say both but ill have to take xbox 360 bc well its the second console ive ever had while i also wanted a ps3 at the time. But i realized there was a few of my fav ps 2 games on xbox 360 until this day id be playing xbox360 we keep on upgrading it bc i want da fun to last forever.But both of them are great.
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
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 :)
both of them get both
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
ithink xbox 360 better than ps3 because of graphics it run very smooth games at 720p and 1080p/ps3 at 640p
ps3 can do something no other console can do , copy movies music and pictures to the hard drive via usb or from your network . also the xmb is so clean looking
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
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.
In 2023 (and now 2024) ps3 is for sure better. A lot of Xbox exclusives you can play on Xbox One, Series and PC, while ps3 exclusives stayed there, unless you want to pay for streaming subscription on ps4/5, which isn't even available in a lot of regions. And again, it's streaming, so it's not ideal. And the 3rd party games that aren't available on PC or through Xbox backwards compatibility you can play on ps3 itself.
The bowling clip got me 😂🤣🤣🤣
my first play station
first:PS2
next:PS3
my last wish:XBOX 360
I bought pre owned jailbroken ps3 in 2015.. still working in 2023.. i recommend ps3.. However cmos battery dead so i have to re enter date and time, which i can do in 10 sec at startup.. so no problem go for ps3
I'm just gonna gamble, and say the 360 is better if the games have its DLCs, but please note that the last eras were named the following.
PS1 era.
PS2 era.
Xbox 360 era.
PS4 era.
So, with a bit of thought?
Either PS3 for the few exclusive games that doesn't have a remaster on the next one, the PS4, or the PS1 games or PS2 games.
On the other hand, a modified 360s, with a big HDD?
Social life is gone.
But, the PS3 is still worth it even today.
Let's just hope that we do find the old games for it.
As for the generation after, PS4, no discussion!
The xbox 360 is better than I thought I'm a Playstation person I always loved the ps3 after I sold my ps3 I said let me try the xbox nd I was thinking if it might of been worth it for a change cause I never had no xbox system jus ps2 and ps3 so I gave the xbox 360 a try and it great tbh and I love the xbox 360 controls more than the ps3 it's more comfortable and buttons don't break or jam easily like the ps3
I still remember the YLOD (yellow light of death) in my ps3 fat
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.
Ps3 got better at the end of the race because it just had better games(exclusives) to offer , better online and modding community and free online gaming
Gotta do a deep dive comparison on home brew between these and the wii
I just got a free PS3 last month and got some PS1 games to play. All work great. I love Halo too, so I got a 360. Both are cheap and great tech still, so can’t pick one over the other, yet. Need like another 10 years to decide 😂
R.I.P Xbox 360 marketplace (2005-2023)
Don't buy the ps3 phat becuase of the same reason of ylod. Get either the slim or super slim.
PS3 wins. Free online, more games & the graphics are a bit better in my opinion
Ps3 Has a better l movie player than xbox 360 does
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.
PS3 is better...that's where I was made. I'm biased so don't listen to me lol.
I prefer the Xbox, that's it
Hen !!! Uncharted ,killzone ,god of war ,the last of us ,motorstorm , rezistence ,mg4.......
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
In 2024 I own both. A modded Backwards Comp PS3 and a DVD chipped Xbox 360 S. And I have to say my PS3 serves me to play play on my CRT TV nes, snes, sega gen, GBA, PS1, PS2, 4:3 480p video content and PS3 exclusives on my 4K TV. Then my Xbox 360 plays the rest of 7th gen games and xbox exclusives on both my crt and 4K TV, I don't know why but the PS3 sucks compared to the 360 when it comes to playing third party 7th gen games (Games look darker and less buttery graphics, also frame rate is slower and choppy at times) I'd say Xbox 360 for 7th gen games and PS3 for Exclusives/ Retro Gaming.
I think its quite simple honestly,
PS3 - bluray: only one disc needed to run all games, has good exclusives
XBOX 360 - multimedia (titles that came out both on some 7th gen consoles) run best on it (mainly games prior to 201X), has good exclusives
So.
PS3 - Good design, multimedia runs ok
XBOX 360 - Good design, multimedia runs good
RESULT.
Pick PS3 for the design and exclusives
Pick XBOX 360 for multimedia, design and exclusives
Basically, just a thing of taste, if you like how ps3 looks, pick it
or if you like how xbox 360 looks, pick it instead of a ps3.
Best option, don't get either, and save yourself a headache. Just buy a PS 5 or Xbox series x, stay up to date y'all.
@@DiMarzio-Tone youre the "why cant starving kids buy food" phrase if it was a person.
dear mr genious, not all people can afford newest consoles
@@blamemario You're not a starving child, so why do use such a horrible phrase? Why don't you just save money (then again I don't know how old you are) and get a PS5 or whatever. I can't just go to the store any day and buy one either, I saved for it, and I'm a 56 year old man with a disability. So why can't you do that instead of your smart ass comment.
@@blamemario Or hell go be sorry you did and buy a PS3 or an Xbox 360, neither are the same anymore, there's to much modding going on. You'll be sorry.
@@DiMarzio-Tone not all games are b/c lmao
