Why you chose...

XBOX 360 over PS3? I have owned both consoles at one time or another, but I always choose to play the 360 over the PS3. My reasons....

1. XBOX Live is superior to PSN and its worth the $4.12 a month it costs to play on it!! Id rather use a gaming headset over a Bluetooth earpiece anyday. Also, XBL has in game messaging and cross game invites!! Oh and lets not forget the achievements!!

2. Better games. Im sorry, but games like Kameo, Dead Rising, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Halo 3, Lost Oddesey and Gears of War are vastly superior to anything that the PS3 has offered so far!!

3. I hate the fact that the PS3 CONSTANTLY updates! Its like I have a 3rd PC or Laptop in my house!

4. To this point, BluRay has been proven to be unneccesary. I just dont see the need right now when you can put huge games like Oblivion and GTA IV on one disc! I mean sure, Lost Odessey is on multiple discs, but how much of a lazy turd are you to not be able to get off the couch and swap a disc! Plus, how many people out there have a Dolby Digital 7.1 sound system right now and a 1080p to take full advantage of what BluRay has to offer? Id bet its less than 10% of all homes in America!!

I choose 360 over PS3 because I need the best (non PC) online, even if at a cost.

i got 360

1. the 360 controller is perfect for me, as yhatzee said "the sixaxis is about as much use as slmming your hands between two bricks" and he is right. at the time the ps3 didn't have rumble so....

2. price, in the UK there was a HUGE price difference when i got my 360 in 06, there still is.

3. Online, Live is the best. it just is, all my friends are there and its just all round better than PSN.

4. the bigest factor, games, must i list what the 360 (and yes alot of the time the pc, but were doing 360-ps3 comparison) has and the ps3 doesn't?

I own both. I only play the PS3 for its exclusives, for everything else its the 360. GazzaB

Firstly the PS3 wasn't out at the time.

But the 360 controller is just perfect imo, love it.

Wanted to play Oblivion, GRAW, PGR3 etc.

It was also time to upgrade my last gen console.

I have both, but I bought a 360 first back in Jan 2007 because........well, I felt like it. I had always planned on getting a PS3 somewhere down the line and I got the 360 first to keep me occupied until the PS3 became a worthwile purchase.

Now I have both and I use the PS3 mostly. I buy multiplats on the PS3 because of better controls, it's quiter and I simply prefer using it. I got the ole' Red Rings of Doom twice on the 360, so buying multiplats on that thing is a no-no. It's a pointless risk and this way I'm not supporting Microsoft.

I totally agree, the PS3 is for MSG:4, Resistance, and KZ:2.
