the ps3 uses hdmi where 360 doesnt so u wwill never get the turn hd u want with your hd dvd player. also ps3 uses blu-ray which holds more and blu-ray has more support from movie companys. ps3 has free live and has web broser. and it cheaper to get s ps3. $500 ps3> $400 360 + $200 hd dvd drive= $600. so geting a ps3 would be better for price and quality
I'd first like to clarify that I'm not partial to either system, nor am I a techy. I'm building a home audio system to accompany my HD flat screen tv. I'm considering either the XBox or PS3 as a means for not only gaming (sports games mainly), but also for playing HD movies.
Can someone give me advice on whether either system will suit my needs? What is the quality of both drives for playing HD or BluRay movies?
