Sure, there are some neat things about the X-Box 360...
But it was rushed, only uses standard-format DVDs (limiting the game), has TONS of problems, and is only sort of backwards compatible.
That and it's a commercial nightmare, the likes of that which only Microsoft can produce.

Yup, I think the PS3 will have it beat like that. *snaps fingers* |

Yep. Here's a comparison:
X-Box 360:
Processor Speed: 3.2GHz
Graphics: 500mhz (500 million triangles per second)
Memory: 512 MB ram
HD: 20GB (must purchase upgrade)
Media format: Standard DVD (up to about 10 GB)
Look: Stolen from Apple (sleek, white, curvy, plastique, sexy)
Backwards-Compatibility: Sometimes.
Controllers: up to 4
Internet: Wired Ethernet connectivity, Wi-Fi A, B, G ready
Details: Comes in two models, basic and uber. Basic is worthless, and costs $100 less than uber. Can only play a few old X-Box games. Rushed through production, recalls are occurring. Many problems and errors. Microsoft-produced. Rushed mainly to beat Sony, the only real competitor. Ended up biting themselves in the ass. Disc only stores about 10GB. 1 terraflop processing.

PS3:
Processor Speed: 3.2 GHz (powerPC)
Graphics: 550mhz (550 million triangles per second)
Memory: 256mb main ram, 256mb video ram (512MB total)
HD: None
Media format: Blu-Ray Disc (up to 50GB storage)
Look: White, sleek, lettering stolen from Spider Man movie
Backwards-Compatibility: complete (duh)
Controllers: up to 7 via bluetooth
Internet: Wired ethernet, Wi-Fi B, G ready, bluetooth 2.0
Details: Almost twice as fast (1.8 terraflops), better games (imho), complete backwards-compatibility, NOT RUSHED (they wanted to put out a complete, quality product), faster and sleeker than X-Box 360. Due to Blu-Ray technology, games can store better graphics and more information (five times more than standard DVDs), meaning that the PS3 can play on a single disc what the X-Box 360 would have to split into 5 (less disc-switching). Imagine, the entire Final Fantasy series, from 1 to 10, all on one disc. Couldn't do that with the X-Box 360 (and not just because of licensing issues). Lacks a hard drive, but when you can store 1GB or more on a simple flash drive, what's the point? Memory cards will have plenty of storage space.

So, in short....
X-Box 360: Below average product.
PS3: Blows the rest out of the water.

Wow interesting, everyone here shares my opinons. Pretty much what everyone has said is the case Ive been making with the XBOX fanboys. PS3 is worth the wait.
