Xbox 360 is better :)
How so?

Masters if you have been away from gaming for the last couple of years then there is a chance that you might not know about RROD problem of X360. Kindly do some research on it because if I tell you about it I may get another warning :)

mate it all depends on what you can afford to play.

IMO the 360's life is now over with no more Great games coming. but it still plays pirated games so thats an upside...! The PS3 will owns 2008+ so awesome games coming but 3-5k per game.

it all comes down to what you can afford to play i guess.

Ill lay it out for you nice and simlpe so you can decide.

Xbox 360

PROS - Pirated Games ... 100rs per game

CONS - 3RROD error. The Xbox360 is prone to overheat and have a major hardware failure, not always repairable. The new Falcon edition are less prone to this error but there is a good chance it happens, especially if you play for a long time.

PS3

PROS - Reliable so dont have to worry ... You can properly run Linux (YellowHat) on it. Its fully supported and compatiable so it can be used as a PC ... Hard Disk can be changed with anything you buy from the market, no special HardDisk like X360

CONS - NO PIRATED GAMES! You will have to buy games for 4000rs. You can exchange them for 500-1500 later on.

This alone justifies that u shuld buy a 360!!
Chances of RROD r very low in Falcons if u keep it well ventilated it wont give RROD anytime soon

The only thing not going PS3's way is the unit price of games.
If you can pay 3500-4000Rs per game, then getting a PS3 is a no brainer.

In your dreams. (Lahore,Cantt)
if ur rich then go for ps3
if ur not that rich go for 360
as simple as that.

and also if ur into online gaming then u will have to pay to get a membership on xbox live and u will most probably get banned eventually but if u get a ps3 u wont get banned and can play online games for FREE!!

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
