Multiplayer gaming was just as big a part of the last generation of consoles as it is this generation, and you can still play online on both the Xbox 360 and the PS3. In this, the PS3 does have an advantage: you can play online without a PlayStation Plus account. Xbox Live Gold for the 360, meanwhile, costs the same as it does on the Xbox One. We’d give the edge to the PS3 in our recommendation here, were it not for the Xbox 360’s impressive catalogue of games, including its own blockbuster exclusives. Which you choose comes entirely down to personal preference.
