At first I felt the same way, but over time I was like what the heck am I doing! Pc gaming is pretty much better in every way, u'll only regret it in the end.

Yeah it totally must suck getting a console for free. If it happens to be for your birthday or some such I retract my sarcasm.

If you're looking at it from an evil manipulative bastard perspective you'll ask for a PS3, then not open it, return it and swap it for whatever. Your parents are sure to respect you for this manuever and may give you more gifts, such as a boot to the head.

But in all seriousness, I'm too tired to come up with coherent, helpful advice so I'm just rambling on and on in this sentence using a bunch of useless words one after another. Hope this helped.

Uhhh

Putting this whole system wars thing aside...

The logical choice is to get them to buy you the more expensive PS3. Since you're going to get a job anyway, you'll be able to save up for a X360 arcade easily.

I'd go for Xbox 360. 2009 may be PS3's year but the Xbox 360 already has a vast collection of great games that you can jump right in to.

It depends on which usage you plan to give them. This is how I would sum it up:

PS3 is best if you:

- Love PS exclusives

- Want to watch Blu-Ray movies

- Want to have a console that will last for longer & that has new games for a longer time

- Want to use it heavily for basic online gameplay, especially via a Wi-Fi connection

- Don't mind to pay extra at first to get a great product on the long term

- Don't mind your multiplats to have really limited DLC

- Prefer your game discs to be more durable (Blu-Rays are more durable that DVDs), as well as with tons of included content

X360 is best if you:

- Love Xbox exclusives

- Love games available for PC & 360

- Love online gaming in general (game renting, online gameplay, DLC games, cross-game chat...) & don't mind to pay extra for the service

- Want DLC for multiplats

- Don't have trouble with wired connections or if you can afford a Wi-Fi adapter for the console

- Don't mind having a less reliable system (although the recently produced ones have acceptable failure rates)

- Love your multiplats to have tons of DLC

If you ask me, I went with the PS3. I do love PS3 exclusives, free basic online gameplay, that my console will have stuff for it for a longer time & the Blu-Ray advantages.
