I bought a prefix because, frankly, I got tired of my laptop not keeping up with the games, and if it was powerful 1.5 years ago, now it is already a weak average. Plus, for some reason, all the new items on the pc come out with a wild delay, and I’m glad that you don’t need to install anything (otherwise you buy and think whether it will be installed or not), buy and play. Microsoft says that the resources of the set-top box will be exhausted only by 2022, and the next ate will not be until 2022, so the laptop will finally only work, not games :) About the gamepad: many without even holding it say that it is not convenient, in fact, such an arrangement of buttons and analogues is anatomically the most convenient for our fingers, and this is true, fingers get tired much less. If you choose xbox or ps3, then everything is simple: if you are going to use all services legally, then definitely ps3 (more exclusive games, no payment for network modes) if you are not going to play online, take xbox and flash it. If, after the firmware, you start to miss the network modes, it's okay - you went live and you have the original firmware again. In terms of graphics, I think they are the same. Yes, sony supports blue ray and 3d, and it's a fact, and every second ps3 owner screams that he is now the owner of a super media system, although I think if you ask each of them how often they watched blue ray movies, and played 3d, then the answer will be appropriate. 3D by the way and xbox can output if desired, now any equipment more expensive than $ 100 can do it, it all depends on the quality of the screen. About the fact that the xbox supports a maximum resolution of 720p . pff, again, everything depends on the quality of the screen on which the picture is displayed, it can be even higher, just so far the quality has not been better. For example, when I first connected, a notification appeared on the screen of my philips that the xbox is connected via hdmi, and the quality is 1080p.
