Great exclusives such as...

The quality you get with a PS3 combined with it's capabilities, value, and great exclusive games make it the best system out. I started with a fail box 360 and switched to PS3 when the PS3 came out and it's just an awesome system. So under appreciated and under recognized it's just a shame.

More reliable and quiet than the 360

less energy consuming and heat than 360

why would u list folklore as a reason to get a ps3?? that game isnt fun and looks like a ps2 game :o sounds like u have had bad luck with ur 360, u need one of the newer arcades for it to last or anything, ive been lucky with my 360 though only broke 1 since launch and this one has lasted me since 2006. but ps3 tends to be more reliable with the slim, dont get the old fat ones, and u get a blu ray player and free online, dont expect it to be like xbox live though, cuz when u play xbox live for a loooooong time like me and just recently get a ps3, then u can tell the differences and why xbox live is better. its just the basic play online feature and friend list with chat, nothing more but it's definitely worth it.. some good exclusives to play on it but u might wanna fix ur xbox too consideing fable 3 and halo reach will come out this year. :o

the fact that you don't know a lot about the PS3 isn't a downside... you might just get amazed for what you've been missing...

im not gonna bash the 360, because i love the 360. however, i feel your pain having been through a few 360's myself. i understand it sucks when you have to keep sending it in for repairs or buying replacement systems. so if youre fed up, get a ps3. you really cant go wrong if you decide on a ps3. it really is a great value for your money.

Downside about the PS3 is the online service is HORRIBLE. Feels dull..most people don't have headsets/blue-tooth devices and the download of demos are kinda on the slow side. You will definitely miss the online service of the console you're leaving (TRUST ME). And lastly the developer support isn't as large compared to the console you plan on leaving.

That said, everything else about the PS3 is wonderful, in particular the new PS3 120GB slims..you get much more for what you pay for compared to the competition..and the exclusive games the PS3 does have is unlike any other (truly). MGS4, God of War 3, Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2, Killzone 2..and the list goes on. If you can get both..if you can't make up your mind stick with what you got. Hope that helps ya!

I still use the 360 more than my ps3 but thats gradually changing. The ps3 is coming out with more and more every day. Its definetly growing alot faster than the 360 when it first came out. it just took a little bit of time for people to realize what a great system it is and what it has to offer. I agree with the online portion. Yeah its free and all, but it doesn't compare at all with the 360s. If it meant paying 50 for sony to update the way the online works, I would gladly pay it. blu-ray bluetooth keyboard, mouse support for some games great upcoming titles including some good looking mmo's(the agency and the dc universe one) 2010 - The year of the playstation!
