Deciding between the PlayStation 3, Nintendo Wii and Xbox 360 can be a daunting task. While all three systems are vastly superior to the last generation of game consoles, but they are also very different from each other than ever before. While I like and have all three systems, I think there are five things that make the PS3 the best video game system of the next generation to have on your Xbox 360 or Wii.

# 1 - The PS3 has / Blu-ray HD
It will first striking feature. Both the Xbox 360 and Wii operate off plate technologies earlier, the PS3 is the only gaming console that offers a turntable high-definition Blu-ray. Blu-ray and Blu-ray games - It is played by two distinct advantages for the PS3. DVDs are on their way, and Blu-ray is the new standard for video. Blu-ray discs also hold more data, so the PS3 has to use fewer discs for games. After all, every PS3 supports 1080p video, a student at the normal DVD often look better on your HDTV and has an HDMI output (for the signals of the highest quality High Definition needed).

# 2 - The PS3 is ready to work out of the box cheaper

Do you want to go online with your wireless network?

On the Xbox 360, the wireless upgrade kit for $ 100 required during set up while working on PS3 and Wii wireless networks when the Wii requires you to buy their web browser. Want to play games online? This needs to buy a subscription to Xbox Live Gold. The cost to play on the PlayStation Network? Nothing. Do you want to download new games and video for your console? While there is no problem for the PS3, but you need to purchase additional space for some Xbox 360 and Wii, if you download something.

# 3 - The PS3 have great games to get the public and meet the players the most demanding
All three systems have a wide variety of wonderful games, and most major American and European games appear on all three systems. But the PlayStation 3 has the support of developers and developers Store in Japanese than the other two, just do not line. Sure the Xbox 360 has Halo and the Wii has Mario, but the PS3 has equally good in exclusive Metal Gear Solid 4, God of War III, LittleBigPlanet, and the greatest driving game ever, Gran Turismo. 5

In addition, you should use the unique Japanese and indy titles that only the PS3 gets. Pixel Monster Meter, Flow, Everyday Shooter, The Last Guy and LocoRoco Cocoreccho to software that's more like interactive art than games, such as Tori-emaki, flowers and Linger in Shadows simply weird and wonderful things that exist on the PS3 not in other systems.

# 4 - The PS3 has a lot of multimedia and non-gaming features
The PS3 can show pictures, play videos and listen to music from the Internet or from a USB device downloaded, such as a USB flash drive or an external hard drive as well as streaming from a computer. The fact of the Xbox 360, but only the PS3 will allow you to give your PlayStation Portable distance. This means you can use your media, including Blu-ray discs to access, on the road with your PSP. The PS3 also supports Linux as an additional operating system, allowing them. For a variety of purposes, which are not used with the game

# 5 - online game is free and easy
All three systems now offer web surfing and purchasing online games. Unlike the other two systems, however, online gaming on the PS3 is simple and free time, require no extra fees or complicated friend codes. The PS3 also offers a unique and free virtual world called Home, where you can chat, go out and play with other PS3 users. How achievement system Xbox Live has a PS3 Trophies system that allows you to earn awards as you play and compare how they can be carried out against other players.

Finally, and perhaps the best proof of the commitment of the PS3 is not only a single device, is Folding @ home, be a program that allows your PS3 used to the scientists from Stanford University researching cancer using spare computing cycles of the console when they not play.
