Here's a list of pros and cons for both to help you decide: 360: Pros: 300 bucks for a 60 gig version (cheaper) a larger game library Popular exclusives and more than the competition Good set of features for its online service Larger online community due to bigger user base. Multiplatform titles are a BIT smoother in performance and SLIGHTLY better looking. Stronger graphics chip. Cons: Reliablility problems You have to pay for the online service You have to pay extra for wireless controllers You have to pay extra for wireless connectivity PS3: Pros: Built in web browser Built in Blu Ray player Built in wireless connectivity Free online service Reportedly more reliable Includes wireless controllers Stronger CPU Strong list of exclusives Cons: More expensive (400 bucks for 80 gig version) Online service shorter in list of features smaller online community due to smaller user base Smaller game library Slightly fewer exclusives Multiplatform games typically are SLIGHTLY inferior visually and in performance.

You're a 360-only owner, aren't you? I could tell from your post.
both systems are pretty equal ill think you'll be happy with either one. you really only have to get lucky with your 360 and hope it doesnt die early, my launch 360 lasted about three and a half years so i got pretty lucky. if you get a 360 i would reccomend buying the intercooler to prolong the lifespan
Both systems are good in terms of power, but it really depends. 360 has many more more titles, but it doesn't have MGS4, so it you're huge MGS fan, then get that. Otherwise, it'd be best to get the 360.

You're a 360-only owner, aren't you? I could tell from your post. Hhahahahha That's so odd. When writing my list I was really trying ot be as objective as possible in order to compensate for one fact: I am a PS3 owner. I guess i slightly over-compensated. :-)

You're a 360-only owner, aren't you? I could tell from your post. He reviewed a Ps3 game and his post was basicly true.
Deciding which console I should get. I need some opinions please.Cballer08
I have an Elite and an 80 gig BC PS3. If you can score a BC PS3, then it's awesome. But I'd take an Elite over the standard 40-80-160 gig PS3 anyday. Backwards comopatability makes all the difference to me. Sony sucks.
PS3:MGS4, KZ2, LBP, Uncharted (soon uncharted 2), Valkyria Chronicles, Resistance 2, God of War 360: Halo 3, Gears 2, Fable 2, left 4 dead Both: Bioshock (newer version on PS3), Fallout 3, Oblivion, Ninja Gaiden, GTA, Call of Duty's, Dead Space, Resident Evil 5 Assasins Creed, Prince of Persia, Most sports on both except MLB the show 360 is cheaper but not as much so if you go with the higher priced elite. PS3 more expensive but has a blu ray Internet: consensus is that XBL is more developed however PSN actively developing and improving. There are more people on XBL likely due to more people buying the cheaper system for obvious reasons. There are still gizillions of people on PSN network so not like you'll have problems finding people to play with. I have both and think they are both great. If a game comes out on both I go with the PS3 version and in general prefer the PS3 exclusives. If you can afford it I would go with the PS3 but if you want to save a dime then the 360 of which you will be very happy with. Note: the games are just off the top of my head... I am sure others will add many more +/- criticize my thoughts but you'll be happy with either
