Feature: Overlooked: 7 Ways the Xbox 360 Beats the PS3
Yeah, Gears of War and Halo 3 are great, but what else makes the Xbox 360 better than the PS3? A lot, as GamePro editor Mr. Marbles recently discovered.
Sure, games like Gears of War and Halo 3 are the obvious reasons to justify an Xbox 360 purchase. But what else do you get that makes Microsoft's console better than the PS3? These seven reasons may not have a ton of sex appeal, but they're cooler (and more useful) than you might think. Onward!
7. Custom Soundtracks
6. Xbox 360 Plays Nice with iPod
5. Windows Media Center Compatibility
3. Xbox Live
1. Bungie
7. Custom Soundtracks
You can pretty much write off any sports or racing game soundtrack as a radio rock headache (I've heard that f'ing Wolfmother song about 500 times). That's why it's so nice to be able to load up your own tunes to play over your crushing takedowns in Burnout Revenge.
You are the untalented DJ.
On the original Xbox, activating custom soundtracks was a chore. But on the 360, loading up your personal music is child's play. And better yet, the console automatically turns off the in-game music for you. Half a year into the PS3's life cycle and still no support for custom soundtracks? What the hell are all those media ports for? This is the number one reason I stopped playing MotorStorm.
