Xbox 360 or PS3? Gaming at Your Apartment in The Villages, FL

If you are considering purchasing a gaming console for your apartment home, then you’ve probably come up against the most important question for console gamers this generation: Xbox 360, or PlayStation 3? While both systems are excellent pieces of hardware that can provide hours of fun on hundreds of available games, each product has several strengths and weaknesses worth analyzing when it comes to choosing the console that is right for you.

What follows are some of the most important factors to consider when purchasing either an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 for your apartment in The Villages, FL:

  • Graphics – While the graphics of both systems are very similar, many feel that the Xbox 360’s Xenon CPU has a higher fillrate, more processing power, and a better memory architecture, which means that games will tend to run more smoothly and with less jagged edges and textures.

  • Games – Both systems have a huge number of games available for them, and many games have versions out for both consoles. However, there are also quite a few titles that are exclusive to either the Xbox 360 or the Playstation 3. While the PS3 has the edge in the sheer number of exclusive titles, in the end it comes down to which games are a must-have for you. For example, fans of Halo or Gears of War will want to grab an Xbox 360, while devotees to the God of War or Gran Turismo franchises may want to side with the PS3.

  • Extra Features – While both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 have a number of online apps and feature movie streaming services like Netflix, the edge in the extra features category goes to the PS3 because it can also play HD Blu-Ray discs.

No matter which system you settle on, you’ll soon be enjoying a polished product that can provide countless hours of entertainment – just make sure to keep the volume at a reasonable level so that you don’t disturb your neighbors. Of course, with the next generation PlayStation and Xbox consoles on the horizon, if you don’t already own one of these wonderful systems, you could always wait until the next generation launches. Then again, perhaps the upcoming discounts on games and supplies in anticipation for the newer models make this the perfect time to buy these top-quality systems.
