The question.

Alright I realize this is the Playstation 3 forum and I can tell what the majority result will be, but i figured maybe you guys can help give me some more incentive towards my purchase. The question of course is whether I should invest in a PS3 60gb or a Xbox360 Elite.

I am not biased towards any company and want the best playing experience possible. (Which in turn means i'll eventually have purchased all of the new gen consoles.)

Here's a few of my buying points:

1. I currently lack an HDTV but I am planning on buying at least a 26ish inch 720p HDTV.

2. A few of the games I'm wanting to purchase for each console are:

PS3: Armored Core 4, Resistance: Fall of Man, and Motorstorm

360: Gears of War, Armored Core 4, and GRAW2

3. I enjoy a good single-player experience more than anything, but online does have its upsides.

Pros and Cons

PS3 PROS

Integrated Wi-fi

Free Online

Blu-ray

Upgradeable Hard-drive

PS3 CONS

$600 pricetag

Current lack of "must-have" games.

Current lack of rumble.

360 ELITE PROS

$480 Price tag

Current game line-up good.

Rumble

Good online service (Albeit monthly payments.)

120gb HDD

Achievements

360 ELITE CONS

Lack of integrated wi-fi.

Tray-loader DVD Drive

Hardware Failures.

I'd just like some opinions and incentive from the PS3 community to help my decision. While I know most answers will end up as PS3, please post your reasoning and ideals behind that decision.

Thanks

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A PS3 VS 360 THREAD, LET'S KEEP IT THAT WAY!

Well of course I could just buy a 3rd party adapter for around $30. :PAFK4Lifez
