Round 1 – Design

Here, the PS3 takes it, even though CNet thinks it looks like a George Foreman Grill, which I suppose it does from a certain angle. I can’t believe the Xbox 360’s controller is given top marks though because personally I find it a little too childish and gimmicky for my liking.

Round 2 – Features

PS3 = Blu-ray, WiFi, and Bluetooth. Xbox 360 = none of the above. A perfect score for the PS3, and rightly so, seeing as its feature set is probably the most rounded and fulfilling of that seen on any home console ever.

Round 3 – Online

The Xbox 360 takes this round comfortably thanks to the ease of using Xbox Live, and the new Netflix compatibility. However, I can’t understand the scoring really when PSN is free and isn’t as bad as CNet makes out. The judges clearly aren’t fans of Home but I’d personally rather have it than not have it.

Round 4 – Graphics

This round is a joke and for me, calls out the three judges as Xbox fanboys. On multi-platform games, the Xbox 360 apparently shades it – maybe, maybe not, but I think it’s too close to call either way. But platform exclusives? I’m sorry but the PS3 takes this crown by a mile. As stated, there is nothing that compares to Metal Gear Solid 4 or Killzone 2, so why the draw?

Round 5 – Games

Xbox 360 – Gears of War and Halo. PS3 – Metal Gear Solid 4 and LittleBigPlanet. Woah, hang on a moment, why those two games? Why not Killzone 2 or God of War 3? Or Heavy Rain and Uncharted 2? Talk about picking your games to suit your own needs, which in this case is clearly an Xbox 360 win. I concede the backwards compatibility point though – it sucks.

Round 6 – Value For Money

Apparently, being the best Blu-ray player on the market and having an astounding range of exclusive games either out or coming out soon doesn’t warrant an extra $100. Sure, the PS3 could do with a price cut but I’d still say it’s very good value for money even at its current price.

The Result

It’s official. According to CNet, the Xbox 360 is better than the Playstation 3. Don’t worry that the presenter and main judge is a douchebag, or that we never actually get to see the other two judges give their opinions (if they even exist). CNet has spoken, and the Xbox 360 rules over the PS3. There is clearly no argument to be had.
