While the 360 still has the better library of games and better online, my choice is PS3, which currently clearly has more advantages over the 360. Let's take a look.

Overall Game Library so far: Advantage 360

Overall Online Experience: Advantage 360

Exclusives in 2008 so far: Advantage PS3

Multiplats in 2008 so far: Advantage PS3

Future outlook for Multiplats: Tie (Microsoft will try to get timed exclusives, but PS3 will have more improved versions. Example: Oblivion and Bioshock). PS3's Blu-ray and Hard-disk drive advantage will be a plus for PS3 (Soul Calibur 4), while Microsoft's Full Install option is an unknown factor.

Future outlook for exclusive games: Advantage PS3 (Sony has invested much more than Microsoft in 1st and 2nd parties)

On-line innovations: Advantage PS3 (Litte Big Planet, Large Muliplayer Shooters)

Games getting bigger and more advanced: Advantage PS3

Blu-ray movies becoming more and more mainstream: Advantage PS3

Total Cost of ownership: Advantage PS3 (360 has LIVE fees and more expensive upgrades)

Reliablity: Advantage PS3

Console usefullness after 2012: Advantage PS3

Resale Value: Advantage PS3

As I game console I like my 360 the best. As a home theater lover, I'd miss my ps3 the most.

I'm going to have to disagree with you there.

Consdiering the PS3 doesn't have Dead Rising and Mass Effect my choice of getting a 360 was a good one considering those are two of the best gaming experiences I've had in my life.

How much does $ony pay you? No seriously, if they pay enough I might be willing to become a mindless $ony drone too. Spouting out their PR crap at every opportunity. PM me if you don't want every one to know, it's cool really.

Easily PS3

360 has a great library of games, the thing is most of them are also available on the PC. Since I have a sweet PC rig as well, I don't have any problems playing "exclusive" 360 titles on my pc.

Couple of examples are Gears of War, Halo(yea yea 3 isn't out yet but its only a matter of time), and Mass Effect. I don't see other future exclusives like Fable II and Gears 2 staying off the PC for too long either especially since the first was also brought to the PC.

The Xbox 360 for me. I honestly don't see a single game on the PS3 that I would consider ditching my Xbox 360 for. Littlebigplanet Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Killzone 2 aren't enough...

The Xbox 360 has more powerful hardware and as the years go on, the xbox 360 will be able to do things that the PS3 couldn't dream of.

Sihanouk, why do you always have to lie? Time and time again, you use Oblivion and Bioshock as examples of multiplats that are better on the PS3. Time and time again, it is pointed out to you that they have had an extra year (or more) of development time, so OF COURSE they've had some tweaks. You then proceed to disappear, only to bring up the same misleading examples in three new threads the next day. You obviously know this, so you are just as obviously lying. Do you have no shame? Do your Sony paymasters know how bad you are at this?

Which games are getting bigger and more advanced? What is your criteria for advancement?

While the 360 still has the better library of games and better online, my choice is PS3, which currently clearly has more advantages over the 360. Let's take a look.

Overall Game Library so far: Advantage 360

Overall Online Experience: Advantage 360

Exclusives in 2008 so far: Advantage PS3

Yeah, because Sony released thier biggest title of the year in may, while MS is releasing theirs towards the holiday take out that "so far" and you'd be hard pressed to give the PS3 the advantage.

Multiplats in 2008 so far: Advantage PS3

How so? What reason can you give for PS3 being superior for multiplats?

Future outlook for Multiplats: Tie (Microsoft will try to get timed exclusives, but PS3 will have more improved versions. Example: Oblivion and Bioshock). PS3's Blu-ray and Hard-disk drive advantage will be a plus for PS3 (Soul Calibur 4), while Microsoft's Full Install option is an unknown factor.

While I agree with your "tie", your reasoning is absurd. Those are the only two examples of games being noticably improved, and they both came out over a year after the older versions. most of the time you're going to wait extra time for the game and get an equal version. Overall, you're going to see things remain much as they are now. Multiplats will look nearly identical 99% of the time. These two systems are so close in power that neither will ever take an appreciable lead on the other.

Future outlook for exclusive games: Advantage PS3 (Sony has invested much more than Microsoft in 1st and 2nd parties)

Depending on install base, MS could get 3rd party exclusives if they spend the cheddar in addition to their 1st and second party...also don't forget the additional titles 360 shares with the PC.

On-line innovations: Advantage PS3 (Litte Big Planet, Large Muliplayer Shooters)

Are you kidding me? MS has revamped Live twice now, and has added tons of new features. you lose a ton of credibility giving this to PS3, and that without figuring on the possibility of Home sucking big time.

Games getting bigger and more advanced: Advantage PS3

We've been hearing this since 2006. Games will be largely the same on both, the only evidence to support this is the hype that sony created that they have yet to live up to.

Blu-ray movies becoming more and more mainstream: Advantage PS3

Hit or miss...if digital distribution keeps the momentum it has, it could supplant bluray before bluray ever supplants DVD.

Total Cost of ownership: Advantage PS3 (360 has LIVE fees and more expensive upgrades)

Most people who get a 360 will never had to spend money on these accessories. For some people you're right, for the majority you're wrong.

Reliablity: Advantage PS3

If the RROD gets fixed(possibly as soon as fall with Jasper), then bye bye advantage.

Console usefullness after 2012: Advantage PS3

Hmm, debateable, as there will still be great games coming for each...and lets not forget aobut digital distribution which will be even more prevelent by 2012, taking some of the buzz from bluray.

Resale Value: Advantage PS3

Why is this an advantage? If the PS3 was as wonderful as you extoll it to be, then people wouldn't be selling it would they?

Sihanouk
Could you at least TRY to be less biased? It's funny he never responds when I disect his posts.....hmm wonder why.

the best solution is owning both.... you get exlusives for both and then choose multiplats depending on which system runs better or has extra features...

If that's the best you can come up with, you're joking even more. Amazing? if I have a short attention span...

Ifyou're referring to MGS4, then maybe you should play it. Well...maybe you might not get into it because it's fan service but...ahh nvm. It's a good series with well very good character developments.

I just revamped my memory on the series and I'm going to buy MGS4 next week. Can't wait :)

BTW: Those games are amazing. I've played warhawk, ratchet, and heavenly sword. They're pretty good in my book.
