PS3+360 is a bad combination. I would get a Wii or DS instead.

I dont own a 360 so i cant tell you all the differences between live and PSN. But the PS3 online is entirely functional.

WAY too much overlap for games. It's not the worst combo, though; that would be the PC - 360 combo.

I own a PS3 and Xbox 360 but I haven't played too much online on my consoles. The online stuff I tend to do on PC. That being said, I can tell you that the PS3 has some pretty amazing exclusives and more are on the way. If you get a PS3, don't forget to check out Ratchet and Clank (both the one out now and the one coming out later this year), Resistance 1 and 2, Infamous, Demon Souls. Later on they'll be releasing God of War 3 (a true must have) and the God of War collection (very good if you haven't played the previous 2 GoW games) and Heavy Rain. I know there's a few other big exclusives but I can't think of them right now.

I'm not really into movies, but if you are and you have a HDTV BluRay is good for movies.

When you already have a 360, it will not be very smart to get a PS3. However, if you can afford it, it's not that bad a choice. It's still pretty ridiculous buying one when you have the other.

PSN is fine and it's free. Don't worry.

Also, there's nothing wrong with playing PS3 online. In fact, it's superior in many ways, including not having to pay.

Because a lot of the games on the PS3 are on the 360. If you want to play the same game with a different controller, be my guest, but if you want some brand new controller, with brand new games, than get a Wii or DS.

I like how everyone telling the OP "it's a bad combo" is conveniently ignoring the fact that the PS3 is $50 more than the Wii and about 1000 times better. There's nothing inherently "wrong" with the PSN but you'll just find that the process isn't as streamlined as on the 360. No cross-game chat, Party mode, universal invites, etc. The XMB doesn't really feature that steady, consistent stream of live updates, "Major's Minutes", or links to new content that the Xbox Dashboard has.

The only problem you'll have it a multitude of multiplatform games.

I sold my wii for a ps3 and already have a 360. And it's the best combo to be honest. You have bluray and a lot of exclusive ps3 games and all the amazing multiplatform games + 360 exclusives. Wii has nothing really appealing.

Well, ps3 online and 360 online are different. Most people have 360 so if you have friends they probably wanna play on 360. Ps3's online works well and supports a lot of players but not as many people speak on the mic as they do on 360. Ps3 is definitely a good buy though and I have got a lot of fun out of mine. I honestly use it a lot more than my 360 and only sign on to 360 if my friends wanna play gears or something.
