My friend and me decided to jump over our fanboys minds and try to do something different for change, he is a PS3 ultimate fan and I am an ultimate X360 fan, and for this holiday season we decided to give the other system a try so I bought a x360 60 gig falcon with Geow 2 as a Christmas present and he bought a ps3 80 gig with Mgs4 as a Christmas gift as will, and the result for this experience was amazing: I never knew how fanboy I was until I started playing Mgs4, ….. Yes I admit it it's a perfect 10, and now I think I can give a detailed honest comparison between these two consoles:

-I was shocked by the silence of PS3 there is no sound at all…. X360 is really loud, and awful I already got 2 RROD.

-The x360 is better, but the ps3 controller is unique also: the built in battery is great and the rumble is better than the rumble in the 360

- The ps3 dashboard is better and more stylish than the 360 new experiences.

-The games: I saw the ps3 library at my friend house its identical with my library except for exclusive, both have great ones,

-The online: XLIVE is the best by miles -The media: the PS3 is a crown winner with its blu-ray movies and internet browser.

-The future: I think we know what Sony has in their bags for the next year and its great … still waiting for Microsoft.

Now I own both, I can't be happier as a gamer.

Takes too much negative energy to be a fanboy. Plus you have to ignore conventional logic and knowledge, and distort facts etc. It's like a game. And if I want to play games, I have consoles that provide me with that ability.

Yeap, both offer really great experiences. It's hard to be a fan of one over the other when you truly know what each has to offer.

Thats great...glad to see another person who sees that the ps3 and 360 are both good consoles in there own ways....i personally don't like ms as a company and there hardware, or pay to play online..but if someone else wants to buy one thats ok. I would never buy a 360(I would take it as a gift though) but if I had a friend like you or yours I would do that too... That's a great thing you guys did, and now you have the best of both worlds.

actuly we are adults with a gaming hoby, we are playing since n64 and sega

Yeah that;s the thing, many people on here are kids and I don't think they realize that more than half the hardcore gaming population is over 20 years old. I just turned 30 and have 34 ps3 games (disc based and 12 psn) since i bought the thing in April. I own a ps3, psp, wii, ds, and a gaming rig. I have been gaming since the Atari 2600 / intellivision /apple iic / Ibm 8088 cga-4 color / nes days... Once you get a job gaming becomes a hobby that you can pour some extra resources into..well as long as your girl/wife isn't a gold-digger or an overbearing nag...luckily mine supports my gaming habit as its better then spending money on drugs and partying all the time like i did when I was younger.

The silence is the first thing i noticed about it when I turned it on for the 1st time. However i keep my PS3 in a entertainment center with a door that shuts tight and very little ventilation and its fans WILL kick on full speed and make a very audible white noise if I have it on for 30 mins or so with door shut. Of course a 360 in the same conditions would die in a half hour so cant complain.

I envy you... I want a 360, but the fact that I have to pay for online kinda turns me off, not only that, but considering me, I'd probably end up breaking like 3 of them. I take good care of stuff, but I'm talking about playing too much. Except I disagree with how you said XBL is better by "miles". Not miles, IMO. PSN is catching up, actually. I prefer trophies, as being a level 5 or somethign is more satisfying than being a 1283 It's just like being judged by the # XP you have in CoD4, not the level you are... which is stupid, right?

Cool. That's the way to be. I mean, it's fair to have your preferences, but being a fanboy takes to much time and energy lol.

For me:
Games- the same as of now, but PS3's future is more appealing.
Online- same core features. XBL is better overall though, but PSN has improved SO much just this year alone, plus its free.
Media- Blu-ray, browser, multimedia interface design excells the PS3.
Controller- 360's pad is more comfortable and the sticks have better resistance to them.
DS3's rumble is better and the d-pad/face buttons are designed and respond better.
Hardware- I think we all can agree on this...

Exactly. Two people suddenly deciding to buy new consoles out of the blue is rather surprising.

100%. All of that is pretty much fact. Except for games. That's completely subjective.
