omg k these things are totally different. First wat grade are you in? And what are you going to be using the laptop for. If you need it for school take the laptop. If you want it for gaming take the ps3. The ps3 has 10x btr graphics, and has online play as well. Btr veriety of games for ps3. Not to mention ps3 as well has internet browsers, so you can go onto the web through your ps3. Just hook up a key board to it to make it easier.
But it depends on what you want. A laptop has more uses than a PS3 and it's portable and stuff... But I'm guessing a PS3 is better if you just want to play.
The ps3 is a gaming system and part of a computer. The ps3 can 1.online 2.have thousands of songs and videos. 3.of course probily the best graphics you can get.(with hd) 4.A BIG one is the blue ray disc also 5.Downloed demoes,themes,backgrounds off online. 6.Have thousends of pictures. 7.If you get any online game(like call of duty 4,nba 09 ect..)there are always somone who wants to play. 8.Outstanding conn.to online.
And I dont feel like listing things for the laptop cause im tired but ya a laptop is a computer lol.
