Gaming Throwdown: Sony’s PS3 takes on Microsoft’s Xbox 360

There are already plenty of arguments and theories all over the web comparing the PS3

with the 360 and each viewpoint and idea has its own merits. This however, is a more specialized look at comparing the two systems: from the point of view of a player to game relationship.
