I had no interest in upgrading this gen but now I do, I've been playing PC for the last 3 years and its getting boring, but I cannot choose between the 360 and Ps3.

Heres what I've come up with

360

Larger Game Library

Better online

Horrible hardware

cheap feeling

not built in rechargable

Ps3

Highly rated games library

Some really awesome PSN game, LUMINES Supernova!!

Built in rechargable controllers

expensive

well built

mature online users

Sony could drop support if the economy tanks

I loved Xbox last gen but im mad at MS for going cheap, they Vista'd the 360

vista is great dont know why so many ppl are bashing it its really polished now and i cant go back to XP (i have 2 pc's one with vista and other with xp oh God its really hard to go back to xp now) but anyway, i myself am trying to save some money for PS3 (really hard because im student and dont work :( ) but i managed to save like 25$ many more to go lol It would be easier for me to get x360 because its dirty cheap, but there is no support for x360 in my country (cant buy it anywhere officialy) So im going with ps3 i really hope they cut prices until i save some money (year from now in best case lolool) i belive that i can save ~ 30$ monthly

Considering what you can get for $600 in terms of PC hardware getting a console is definitely a heavy downgrade. Whatever you want though.

well thats true its just pitty that many ppl bashed vista for no much reason (especialy after fixes and patches and sp) i can really say its big improovent over xp because im using both example: vista almost never ask me to restart pc after some driver update xp ask me after almost every driver lol which is kinda anoying search function in vista is one of best things i used in recent years! verry good! so easy to find files and fast some dvd's and cd's that work on vista dont work on xp it just cant read them dunno why etc etc some small things but after a while man gets used to it and really cant live without them

PS3 and this is coming from a 360 only user (well I had wii but ...)

most of 360s titles, and if theres games not on PS3 but 360 it is most likely on PC.

So unless u LOVE Halo 3, Gears 2, or Fable 2 get PS3 ... Yes, I love my 360

Vista took up 3 gigs of ram on my pc, 7 uses 800MB and reads my vista discs plus has a built in DVD maker which works better then Nero

Considering Vista has the same exact memory requirements and also comes with a built-in DVD maker, I'm a little curious to how you formed such strong opinions.

vista also have built in dvd burner and im loving it so much easy and you can even add files after burning even if dvd is not RW! well w7 is just evolution from vista, they removed sidebar (good thing) and now you can place gadgets everywhere, UAC and some annoying stuff but its still more or less vista underneath about ram usage,here is what it says for me right now : 1 GB but i dont experience any slowdowns because its somehow "smart" way of using ram i dont know much about it but it makes stuff run much faster more times you use them

How is the 360 cheap feeling? And we mention awesome PSN games, but don't mention XBLA games? Highly rated games library? Is that just a cope out meaning Not as large of a library... 360 has a highly rated library as well(I know, I know, 360 doesn't have Lair or Haze so it loses)

The original post seems bias towards the PS3. I'm not here to judge your opinion though, you wanted advice: Go for PS3 since it looks like that's what you're leaning towards more.
