  • does the 360 cable come with the actual ps3 or do you buy it seperate?

  • ps3 uses usb cables and u can buy bigger ones dumb ass

  • microsoft made it long so that after you xbox fanboys get RROD to wrap it around your necks and hang your selfs

  • x boxs is longer so they can shove it up there ass farther looks like it can go out ur mouth

  • i dont care i chage my ps3 controll wen im not playing i just leave it on

  • The PS3 uses USB cable so you can buy any length!! The xbox is restricted to the own crappy cable!!

  • i care because ??

    

  • I paid £4 for a 10ft ps3 cable by monster and the fact is that the ps3 uses a simple, very common, mini USB cable whereas the xbox has it's own specialised cable which costs about £10 to buy with a battery which the ps3 controller already has built in. It's just better.

  • the funny thing is you can buy a 12 foot long usb cable and voila, longer cord XD

  • I love how 3 year olds get so worked up about systems, saying stuff like Bill Gates likes to give blow jobs to game companies, and how (whoever made PS3) eats the developers of God of War's shit. It doesnt matter about which system is better, whether your for PS3 or XBOX 360, all that matters is we all serve one king, and his name is Gaming! Forever may he rein!

  • Message to all ps3 fanboys

    Xbox live gots a better community

    we like what we pay for

    and the batteries is an option we have chargable batteries with the cable

    + we can charge our shit while playing

    you guys can't

  • @XxTjongeJongexX This is just proving you are just proving that you are the a fanboy for crap........yeah your xbox live is better by locking exclusivity for dlc but you guys dont have dedicated servers ....which sucks right there...yeah batteries are and option but you have to buy the battery pack for 20 bucks. And your last comment really shows that you have no idea how a ps3 works we can charge our controller while using it alos....wow your smart :D

  • @oblivion183hv

    i know how ps3 works m8 had 1 few years ago that time the cable couldnt charge and play at the same time, must be update then

    the only thing i don't like about ps3 is the little ass controllers

    if it wasnt for that id kept my ps3

  • @XxTjongeJongexX Actually you can charge the PS3 controller while playing..Get you facts right before commenting dildo!

  • Aha all the ps3 fanboys. "It dosn't matter!!! NOOO THIS DOSN't MATTER THAT THE PS3 HAS NO FUCKING CABLE LEGNTH!!! ITS NOT TRUE!! NOO!! xbox USES BATTERIES NOOOOOO!!! EVEN THOUGH THAT HAS NOTHING TO FUCKING DO WITH THIS VIDEO, IT USES BATTERIERS! THIS GUYS A GAY XBOX FAN BOY EVEN THOUGH HE DIDN"T EVEN SAY ANYTHING GOOD ABOUT EITHER BUT THE XBOXES PLAY IN CHARGE KIT THAT COST MONEY IS BETTER THAN THE PS3S FREE KIT!!!"

  • First of all, this doesn't even fucking matter because the fuckin xbox controller uses fucking batteries... TRY COMPARING THAT BITCH.

  • HAHA U GUYS STILL GET CHARGED FOR ONLINE THATS HOW GREEDY BILL GATES IS AND IT SHOWS HOW MUCH HE CARES ABOUT YOU GUYS...CHARGING U FOR ONLINE:/ AND HAVE TO RECHARGE UR PADS WITH BATTERIES AND YOUR PADS ARE BULKY AND SHIT AND NOW U BRING OUT A SLIM? U BLATANTLY STOLE SONY'S IDES WITH A SLIM SYSTEM, A QUIET SYSTEM, BUILT IN WIRELESS AND SHINY DESIGN IDENTICLE TO THE 40 60 AND 80 GB PS3 ... PS3 IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE BETTER THAN XBOX

  • u probably got an extended xbox wire to emphasize how great the xbox is. i cant see the extension but u can just get longer cables BUT WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT XBOX. U GET CHARGED TO PLAY ONLINE . U NEED BATTERIES ( i know u can get rechargeable controllers) UR CONTROLLER IS SO HEAVY AND BULKY AND NOW U BRING OUT A SLIM?? EXCUSE ME BUT U GUYS BLAITANTLY STOLE SONY'S IDEAS WITH A SLIM DESIGN, A SHINY COVER, BUILT IN WIRELESS AND A SUPER QUIET SYSTEM... PS3 ALREADY HAS THAT SO FACE IT PS3 IS BEST

  • @FrenzyProductionz Correct...

  • Okay how about this comparison:

    PS3 Rechargable battery kit : $0.00

    Xbox 360 Rechargable battery kit : $20.00

    Yeah I see the difference.

  • u need a charge pack for 360. theres extra money

  • The longer the cable the slower the data and power transfer is.

  • you can get a longer cable for ps3.

  • Does anyone know how much a usb mini cable is? a long one. around as long as the 360s cable but not as long. the usb one of have now for the ps3 is too short. it needs to be like 1ft longer or so then it'll be fine for me.

  • YEAH YOU BITCH you can buy after market calbes for like 10 bux australian and get like 10 metres cable

  • cos they live in their mums houses and their moms keep telling them dont sit too close to the tv

  • Thing is: for the PS3 you can get aftermarket USB cables that are longer and you can have a cable for about  10-15$...

  • well like how far are you going to be from the tv

    like 40 ft charge cables are little too much 10 ft is perfect

  • ur a fkin noob there r 2 diffrent wires us ass also u can get longer ones get a life u bored piece of shit

  • lol get a life...majoring wire length..-.-

  • But you have to pay extra for the Xbox Cable when you don't for the PS3. You get what you pay for in the end.

  • You can always have a battery charger, so i'd just change batteries when they're emptied. ;)

  • who has the controller on the other side of the room when they charge it, and WHAT THE ******* IS ON THE POWER CABLE ON THE XBOX360??????

  • NINTENDO (NES) > XBOX360

  • Xbox 360 pros - halo(1-3) better online gameplay cons - red light show scratching game tray hardware failure Ps3 - pros - blueray web browser no scratched discs no red lights better games cons -
  • u had it right till u said ps3 has better games

  • it does.....

  • lol i'll think this video sucked - what am im getting out of it? that i have an xbox i can sit even longer away rom my tv? rofl XD

  • who fucking care abouth how long the cables are?

  • @jootan91 People with big living rooms. XD

  • @jootan91 I would rather care about how long is my dick! XD

  • Doesn't change the fact that PS3 is clearly superior

  • Dont be a douche, youre entitled to your own opinion, but dont even bother posting crap such as that.

  • you suck, you can get longer USB cords for ps3 controllers anywhere!

  • OMG you retards i like ps3 better but he said CHARGE cable not PLAY cable he never said you cant play wirelessly get off his back

  • you can get extension cables and what faggot doesnt use the controller wirelessly? Have fun with your batteries

  • OMG, we dont need cables for contrl., only need for charge.....

  • what a dumb vid. i can get a USB cable connection for the ps3 contrl. less than 3$... while a xbox360 battery charger is about 20 to 30 bucks. what happen if u used 7 controllers on the same system ooh ops i forgot xbox can handle 7 controller like ps3 sorry well just get 4 then =)

  • xbox controller needs batteries. THAT IS SHIT i cannot imagine a games controller that needs batteries. The ps1 and ps2 and ps3 dont need batteries.

  • A. the Xbox dose have rechargeable batteries and the PS3 controller has INTERNAL batteries B. the PS1 and PS2 were wired, its like saying oh ur wireless mouse is crap, it needs batteries, my cable one is therefore better, WTF?

  • @hubbabubbly Awwwww you sad? Mommy don't buy you batteries enough so you sold your xbox then made a lemonade stand for ps3? It's ok sonnie, its ok.

  • @Ruzlier no i have never owned an xbox u fucktard, they are pieces of compressed painted shit. i detest 360, no idea why any1 would want to play them except for the exclusives microsoft have because they lick the game companys asses for them.

  • plus the 360 controller ripped off the original playstation..hello only difference dpad and joy stick are switched!! and different action button names woo! so different. gaybox360 blows

  • you can buy any length of usb cable to charge ps3. so it can very well be much longer

  • i have a 360 and i dont use that stupid charge cable anymore, i have a charge station its SOO much easier

  • yeah but you need to pay for that ahahah dumbass!!

  • charge the ps3 controller for 15 minutes and use it for 22 hours...

    AND it comes like that.

    srsly just charge the controller when youre installing a demo or something.

  • the ps3 charger cable is not round like that one soo its not even one you would use.....

  • it depends what cable youve got the official sony one is a bit longer

  • who cares?? you dont use the chord with ps3 unless charging and if the length is an inconvience just watch a blue ray it'll charge while you enjoy the best quality...wait for it wait for it what a shame 360 dont have the quality to match its big ego.

  • its called... WIRELESS!

    -Xbox controller is way heavy and uncomfortable.

    -It has to use batteries. that means spending more money.

    -the usb comes separately. spend more money.

    -Some controllers for xbox are not wireless. so if you wanna wireless controller you have to buy one.

  • ???

    1) Having weight proves its existence and that it was made with peopel in mind. weight gives it factor

    2) unless you live on welfare, i guess your right.

    3) this video proves why its worth it.

    3) Its your choice as to what u want, wired or wireless. this point makes no sense

  • his 3rd point is true for ps3 to u can get a 3m cord for the controller and i got no idea about xbox but this is the play and charge cord idnt it?

  • no

    -the xbox 360 controller is way comfortable more than the ps3 one

    -you can use the rechargeable batteries

    -well... the ps3 costs alot of bucks more soooo...

    -when you buy an xbox 360 they give you a wireless controller.

    by

  • they gave me a wired controller. and ofcourse the controllers are cheaper. they use batteries!

  • sorry man

    I didn't know

    Anyway I bought an xbox 360 and they gave me a wireless controller with batteries

    I didn't know that some xbox 360s had wired controllers

  • WHO cares about batteries? It's the expiereince

  • lol you must be either rich or don't know the value of money.

  • No, I am not rich ( My dad said he doesn't have money to buy me an Xbox but still did it ) but maybe I don't know the value of money which is weird. I'm the smartest in my 5th grade class.

  • 1. if its too heavy your just week

    2. Just by rechargable a batteries. that way you can use them for more than just controller.

    3. Charge cable is really cheap

    4. All xbox's come with wireless controller and have done for a while. Also xbox controllers work on pc. As do xbox live accounts

  • yea lol. too bad the xbox is a piece of shit now. with the new ps3 slim with a 120G!!!! PS3 is just better. period.

  • Wtf? ps3 slim is a piece of shit. its only that slim because sony removed 3 things from it; 1. backwards compatibility 2. OS installation and 3. Sony's overly large ego.

    and who cares about a 120 gb harddrive, on the xbox 360 elite you get a 120gb hdd and no features taken away

    PLUS, you can get a modern warefare 2 xbox that has a 250GB HDD, so suck it!!

  • AND... you get ring of death. LMAO!!! wow you sure tough me. LOL

  • oh snap, you really went there.

    Well, if i ever get that, ill be sure to let you know when i go onto PSN :D

  • 1. Backward compatibility left the PS3 with the 60GB. It was cut as a drastic cost-cutting measure to save the PS3.

    2. OS installation isn't a priority, I have it. I used it, and I took of Linux. It's really for Linux fans.

    3. 120GB? Mate I have a 1TB on my PS3. Let me see that on the 360.

    4. The PS3 Slim also has a 250GB version.

    Get your facts straight.

  • Hey, i HAVE a ps3, and i do have my facts straight. Im saying you cant buy one with higher than 120gb preinstalled, you can install what you like on it, thereby, xbox comes with more or the same amount of memory. Get YOUR facts right, idiot

  • No get your facts straight you chav, Xbox is fixed with specified HDD that Microsoft provides. PS3 is not. Therefore the PS3s max HDD capacity is whatever the market dictates. Plus you get a minimum of 120GB.

  • There is only logic in that comment, except im not a chav D:<

    also, i salute you sir, for kicking my virtual ass!

  • lol your welcome

  • true i got a 2 terrabyte hdd in my ps3 lol

  • There is PS3 Slim with 250GB preinstalled!

  • Calm down, i have a ps3 and trust me. You dont really need that sort of memory for games, and whos going to pay for content you can get on the internet for free?

  • do i need to repeat myself for you, Major retarded?

  • also NEEDCARS said that too. good work

  • not only that there is ps3 slim 250gb!! xbox last words?

  • Price drop

  • 1. Its not too heavy, but the lighter it is, the better

    2. You cant play while charging then (if not more batteries, but it takes time to change)

    3. Yes it is, just take an ordinary mini-usb cavble

    4. Xbox controllers aint Bluetooth. PS3 controllers work on pc, I have played DoD:S with it. No need for Live account, I got PSN

  • Ok,

    1. it feels cheap if its too light, and it can break, but i agree a little bit

    2. What??? lol, You can play while charging your controller

    3. Agreed, both consoles charging cables are cheap

    4. Xbox controllers dont need to be bluetooth to be PC compatible, and you get better compatibility, because its microsoft.

    I have both so i can be a little fairer than you guys.

  • nice

  • the 360 has to use batteries? and you have to PAY for the cord? and you can easily buy or use a longer cord that you have

  • why does this matter?

  • lol for like 10 bucks you can get a 15ft cord

  • who the hell gives a fuck what the poxy lenght of the cable is

  • but the play don't need the cable!!!

  • ps3 don't need a cable lol

  • hey can you charge the 360 controller on your pc like you can on the ps3? I leave my computer on all the time so when im done playing ps3 I use it to charge the controllers but I want to know if you can do that with the 360 one.

  • ps3 controller charger can actually be longer if u bought a longer usb cable, but he was comparing the cables in the box. so yeah

  • Yeah, you can buy some really long ones, but if you were strictly comparing out-of-the-box cables, then yeah, the Xbox 360's cords are longer.

  • Who sites that far away?

    Yeaaah Boooy

  • Uhm if you have a 42" Tv?

  • I'll still sit close to the T.V.

  • not good for your eyes :(

  • My 360 play and charge kit is just the right length. I have a 24" monitor.

  • use the official cables, not the ones that come with the ps3, my charge cables are longer then the 360 cabes, besides you can use any old usb cable....

  • k pego de mierda de video, k kreeis k vais a ganar a sony solo xk el cable para cargar el mando de la xBox sea mal largo k el de la ps3?? jajajaj xDD

  • You have no life at all my friend.

  • ps3 fanboy LOL

  • why the fuck wold i have a cable hooked up while im playing? ps3 rulz

  • yes yes yes 360 wins again a million times that means 360 vs ps3X ps3 suks and 360 winners im goin to buy 360

  • it doesnt matter

    I bought a different cable for mine for like 10 bucks thats 10 feet long

    thats PERFECT for me

    haha

  • and it a rip of wii and xbox didnt copy ps3 they copy 360 with middle and the extra bumpers got from game cube bitch go check the z button it morer like a bumper ok

  • oh yeah and battery included yeah lol so yeah no need to buy yeah and ps3 motion sensor sucks not that many game has that and and no vibration and a lot of people say it is better to use stick because the sensor is slow sayed by most people again check your self on other sites yeah and the motion you move it is weird some times cause to turn in some car games you got to twist your ps3 control alot like aroung 140 d or some thing or less again go to site ok

  • dude i have a vibration controller for my ps3 and also i have both consoles and i really dont see the difference i like both

    ps3 internet= free

    xbox live= 50$ a year

  • look ps3 has more stuff in it yes but do you need all that stuff if you do good for you but for regular people they dont need making all those things with worth less with 360 you get to choose when ps3 you cant with all that stuff you never use and a good amount of people use wire so ps3 wire less is worth less to some people and ps3 online is bad not much to do compared to xbox stuff dont take my opinion go to some sites ok and it is very hard to find people on alot of sites like gt or ign

  • wtf my 360 charge is like a half meter :p

  • The xbox 360 wireless still sucks u still need aa batteries

  • Do you know what the funny thing is. Buying a charge cable makes your wireless controller wired >_>

  • due it takes 5 minutes to charge and who says you need to play with it plugged in funny thing about battery wireless lose battery pack buy patteries evry 4 days thats 5 dollars down the drain

  • Who cares dawg ps3 controller charges in 15 mins

    the only reason this fanboy mad this is to show tht they dont hav 2 take

    break while playn

  • who cares? u have to buy bateries for xbox

  • u dont have 2 buy batteries. wid the xbox play and charge kit u dnt need batteries.

  • yea exactly....with the xbox u gotta buy all this shit.....everything is out of the box with ps3 including wifi......free online and a chargable controller with charge cable

  • - The PS3 was given the number-eight spot on PC World magazine's list of "The Top 21 Tech Screwups of 2006"

    - GamesRadar ranked the PS3 as the top item in a feature on game-related PR disaster.

    I think im gonna buy the PS3...

  • You dont need batteries when you have the play and charge kit lol good try

  • yeah you can buy one of those cables at wallgreens for like $1-5

  • who honestly gives a shit? the only people who actually care about a long cable are people who are too goddamn lazy to get up and adjust to the cables length. in other words, everyone who plays xbox live

  • who give a shit

  • yayayayayayaya

  • Um. Buy a longer cable you douche.

  • i have a wireless contoller

  • who gives a shit

  • Lmao I was about to say that.

    +1 for you

  • This was a retarded video, at least the PS3 comes with a cable for free, you have to buy the Xbox 360 cable for about 20-25 bucks, and if you need a longer cable for your PS3, you can buy them for about 5-10 bucks, or you can buy USB extension cables for two bucks.

  • The Charger (see: Battery Pack/Kit) goes for less than 20 bucks with battery. But charger is not required and controllers will survive atleast 20h on one-timer batteries.

  • you dont need charge cable on 360 lol just buy rechargeable battery!!! you charge it like 1 time in month and thats it

  • just get 2 controllers

    or

    how about this

    go outside

  • this moron bought a longer cable for the 360. this video was a waist of time

  • go fuck ur mother.

    dont forget ur dad.

  • you have to buy the 360 charge cable

  • get a girlfriend MANNNN

  • u had to be REALLY bored to make a video like this

  • yeah the ps3 usb cable is too fucking short I can give you that. If I wish to play while charging I have to be at maximum 50cm from my 46" tv

  • ther was no point in this besides the 360 chargers break so easily

  • Who cares, just get 20 ft usb extension cord.

    That's it, problem solved :)

  • can you buy that for me because i just spent my whole pay check buying my PS3, and an hdmi cable. now i have to sit three feet away from my tv when i have to charge my controller

  • just fucking charge it when your not playing.

  • who needs long cables any way ??????

  • da charge cable can be even longer not lika da xbox 3 shitty

  • that cable was too make up for the worthless system with soon to be multiple disks such as gta4

    dvd runs out of space while blu ray doesn't

  • Ps3 has blueray, bluetooth and wi-fi built in, u can use any bluetooth microphone whereas the 360 u have to buy specific parts like the usb dongle for wi-fi a specific mic and no bluetooth. U have to buy controler bateries for the 360 and pay for online gaming...

    ...but nooooo, the controler cable is longer...

  • Lol

  • It´s a fckng piece of cable. Do u think people will buy the 360 more cause of that? Jesus...

  • at least we dont have to buy a charger. or batteries. ha ha ha

  • this vid is pointless, i mean i have a 360, but really, who giives a fuuck, its called, boredum...

  • do any of you know how to take off the charging cable of the 360 controller

  • just pull it off u retard

  • whos the fuck uses cables? cmon When my i can last a week with PS3 controller not being charged

  • Wow who gives a shit

  • I didnt get a cable with my 360, but I did with my ps3(of course because to need one). if you had to buy a cable seperately, the ps3 does offer a longer one I believe. One thing though, I wish you could change the PS3 controller batteries easier or had the option to use batteries. Also, I wish the PS3 had some USB ports on the back.

  • whats wrong with having them on the front. is it because when you put the usb cables in they get in the way yeah that is annoying so i realise why you would like them on the back.

  • I mainly want some in the back for stuff like external HDD and other peripherals. I'm fine with having some on the front because it is typically better for the controllers.

  • and??

  • you must not have the 10 foot usb cord for the ps3 bc thats how long my usb cord is

  • codsneal 10foot?? they are like 6 or 7 inches NOT 10 FOOT.

    1 foot =12"

  • u can buy a 10 foot cable

  • Wow, the 360 cord is amazingly long! Mine came with th wireless, so I don't have to worry about it. But, wow.

  • who gives a fuck about how long the cord is,

    seriously

    just get the fuckin wireless n problem solved

    whos gonna go all the way back until the cord is stretched

    i dont think u can see the tv anymore all the way back there unless you have like 150 inch tv

  • gentong, those controllers he showed ARE WIRELESS, the cables are just to charge the battery as you play.
