I would look at the exclusives of each system and see which has more games you want that you can't get on the other.

online for ps3 is free and 360 online will cost $60 although it is a bit better in the way it is put together and allows cross game party chat. they both play DVDs, but PS3 lets you play blu-rays or 3D blu-rays if you have them (or the tv and glasses that can display them) what is your preferance? off the top of my head, some xbox exclusives are Halo, Gears of War, and Forza. PS3 has Resistance, Killzone, Metal Gear Solid 4 Uncharted, and Infamous. I'm sure it also gets more RPGs but you may have to import most of them from Japan as a lot of them don't come stateside. OH, count Demon Souls too. (RPG) And they sure great multiplats like Assassin's Creed, Red Dead Redemption, and Grand Theft Auto. (Plus a lot more i can't think of right now) more people on xbox live have mics, but that means more of a chance to run into jerks and whiny little kids. However, party chat also means that you can run into a game where no one is using game chat so its like nobody has a mic. PS3's community has some jerks, but not as many vocal ones as the 360 even though there is no party chat for the people to talk privately in. well then it sounds like you were already leaning towards it. picking a console for its outside appearance sounds kinf of dumb. also the interface even though it is up to you. personally, i like the original 360 set up the most and then the ps3 one and then the current 360 dashboard. taking up half the screen on a background that i have to pay for is pretty dumb. the better than wii people avatars are cool though. true and who knows if it will ever go up in price. it was $50 per year. have fun. I'm sure you'll love whichever one you pick. good. i think they are stupid too. hope i helped in some sort of way.

Technically with all the pollution, it's not really fresh air. Right?

it looks like the ps3 is your best choice, if you don't care for move or kinect. MS seems to be pushing kinect quiet hard.

Look at it like this. Which game library do you prefer? By that choice alone should make up your answer, nothing else imo. At the end of the day, its up to you. and please don't buy a 360 cause the ps3 controller sucks, or vice versa.

well you do have to use R1 instead of R2 unless the game lets you change the control scheme (resistance does) i bought the real triggers for $5 and it fixes the problem of crappy triggers. after that, it is all up to whether or not you care about the analog stick placement. me, i don't care about it on the ps3 or the 360. both work just fine for me.

I bought those for my controllers too, they really make the Dualshock3 ideal. Not sure why Sony molded the triggers going in instead of going out. But I like the controllers much better with the real triggers.

Honestly, I love my 360 with all my tiny lil' heart. and its my preferred gaming console. But this is the year is the year to go out and pick up a Ps3. I'd go Ps3, seems more what your looking for.

yeah they are pretty badass. sony should release a default controller next gen like that (don't care if everything else design-wise stays the same) and give us the option to choose R2 over R1 as the shooting (with L2 over L1 for aiming) in every shooter if it doesn't default to that.

Actually your BEST choice is BOTH, but if you can't get both, then i can't really decide either. The ps3 have: Superior exclusives (here recently of course), Blu-ray capabilities, Free online multiplayer (although a bit inferior to XBL), Very familiar controller (they have kept the same design since PS1, with few changes), Best controller for 2-D fighters (if that's your thing, and not the best at FPS), 3rd party add-on compatible (with most of the accessories), Reliability (even thought the 360 is shaping up to be more reliable these days). The 360 have: Superior multiplats (most of the time, and really only superior by better resolution/framerate), Kinect (if you like it, M$ is pushing it harder than Sony's pushing move), XBLA games (in most cases, superior to the PSN games found on the ps3), Superior online service (although it comes at a 60$ annual price), Best controller for FPS games (but basically unplayable with 2-D fighters, due to the d-pad, and again, if that's your thing).

While i didn't put down everything, i tried to put down the most oustanding qualities of each system.

P.S. Alot of these pros are bases upon MY opinion.:)

I imagined something I shouldn't have after reading the first 2 sentences.

PS3 slim is a downsized version of the best console so far while the 360 slim adds features MS was too cheap to add the first 5 years of the 360s life (Like reliable hardware, HDMI, and Wi-Fi.)

Everybody's going to point towards the PS3's 2011 library, but if you never had a console then there's a great backlog of 360 games as well.

I went with the Xbox 360 for my consoles this generation but it was 2006 when I bought it. If I were buying a console now it would be the PS3, no question about it. Similar price range, blue ray, free online and a decent libary of games. Unless you really want one of the exclusives on the 360 the PS3 is currently the better buy.

I don't care for any of the slims at the moment, my Jasper Elite hasn't had a problem since I got it and my Phat PS3 has full PS2 BC, I'm content
