Online?

A good controller?

A hard drive?

Multimedia functions?



Also, what kinds of games does it need?

A standard controller IMO. I don't dig the motion sensing at all.

Great graphics, lots of horsepower and a controller with sensitive buttons than doesn't hurt to use.

reliability is a big factor for me. That's why I own a PS3. Yeah it cost more but I'd rather have it as a 360 they may RROD/e-74 on me at any time ;)

It also has to have a programmable talking UI. Now that would be an awesome console. That is until it tries to kill you.

good controller and hdd. ms was stupid taking the hdd out of the 360 when the xbox had it.

a ps3 with steam (all game avaliable via dd) would be pretty much perfect.

the ps3 web browser is pretty bad. the in game steam one is miles better. sony should let you use it in game then it would actually be useful.

Reliability first and formost A fair price Decent graphics for it's "generation" Full backwards compatibility (especially if it cost over $300)
