Yes. Very much. The PS3 is much better. The online stuff is free and the PlayStation Store is much easier to use. Get a PS3 you will not regret it. I promise. If you need help with it once you buy one or if you need a friend to add just let me know.

While the 360 definitely has the best online features, the PS3 comes very close, and it's free. Plus, it has many more good exclusives than the 360 does. Almost every good 360 game is also available on the PC/another system.

Being completely honest, the PSN store doesn't offer as much content as the marketplace. And there is a bigger community for Live too. But the PSn does do an admirable job. The store is easy enough to navigate and there are plenty of online games you can play, with minimal lag most of the time.

When Home and in-game XMB become available in the relatively near future, PSN will be as good--if not better--as any other online gaming service, and it will still be completely free to use. I'm looking forward to it.

Of course, the 80 is better. Obviously it's got a bigger HDD, plus it has card readers and is backwards-compatible with PS2 games. The 40 doesn't have card readers and can't play PS2 games, and is also missing a few of the smaller features.

Same blu ray drive and same everything except the 40gb doesnt play ps2 or ps1 games. Other than that its the hard drive difference. The Ps3 uses a laptop hard drive so really you could go to Best Buy and buy an internal hard drive to boost the memory.

The 360 is a great system no doubt about that as long as you dont get RROD...lol It has a great library and will continue to expand. Personally though I think the Ps3 is a little bit better. To be frank it is definatly more reliable and the functions it can do is basically limitless. The upcomming firmware updates help the Ps3 become even more of a monster powerhouse one examplea TIVO like add on will be on the PS3 soon.

Games and Movies

Blu Ray discs are great they dont scratch

- Movies you really need an HD TV to get the most for you money get an HDMI cable

_Games this is Sonys year MGS4 and so many other great games will already expand the library, but dont get rid of your 360 have both worlds
