So, instead you're going to pay $450 (with the wireless dongle you mentioned) for a single game? The only games the 360 has that aren't already on PC (or coming to PC) are Halo 3, Perfect Dark Zero, Kameo and Mass Effect. The PS3 exclusives (Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, Resistance, Folklore, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword,etc.) are ONLY on the PS3. Your case doesn't make much sense. If achievements are your biggest sell, I guess I can sort of see it, but otherwise it doesn't make much sense.I am picking up my 2nd console (Already have Wii, and a high-end PC) this Holiday season, and I want SO BADLY to get a PS3. Its sleek, its sexy, it is well built and doesn't have a high failure rate, and the blu-ray player is just fantastic. I would love to have one.
Except that I cannot bring myself to drop $400 on a system that could not keep me busy for more than a month at the rate I burn through games. As a compulsive do-everything-er, Mass Effect alone will last me longer than R&C, R:FoM and Uncharted combined. Its not even that Sony is behind on the releases, its that they literally are not even coming. AAAE exclusives are all well and good, but once those are done, you need a solid midrange of AA and A games to fall back on, and PS3 doesn't even have that. There literally aren't any games to play!
And Xbox live is just amazing, you can play the downloadable demos for days and not need to even put in an actual game. The community aspects, gamerscore, achievements, excellent networking, and media capabilities make it such an immersive experience that really makes each game feel like a part of a whole gaming environment rather than just seperate little discs.
So yeah, I'm getting the failure-prone system that uses 10 year-old discs and charges me 100 bucks for a wireless dongle. Becausevideo gamer systems are about more than lists of high-tech features. Ioccasionally game on them.

Seems to me like you just want to talk down the PS3 and talk up the 360 in a disguised post.
