I'm getting a game console soon and can't choose between the PS3 or the xbox 360 to save my life. I really like a few of the 360 games out now and am kinda leaning that way but heard the xbox can actully be more expensive than the ps3 after all the accessories needed are bought. I am looking for feedback from someone who has both consoles and can give me the pros and cons to both machines and give them a rating of the following. 1- 10 10 being the best
1.Games in the future
2. future graphics
3.multiplayer games
4. overall fun
5. longjevity
I also heard if you get the 360 you have to but a wireless connector of some sort and was kinda confused. Would that mean I couldnt play online without that adaptor? I have wireless internet but am not the most computer savvy person so I'm not sure if I would have to purchase it or not. TY to anyone who takes the time to reply, I appreciate it. :)

1) Games in the future. PS3) MGS4, White Knight, FFXIII, GT5, Killzone 2, UTIII, Haze, Syphon Filter, Socom, DMC4, GTA IV etc.. XBox 360) Gears of War 2, Halo 4, Halo Wars, Banjo 3, Fable 2,Lost Odyssey, Infinite Undiscovery, Lost Planet 2, Dead Rising 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, DoA5, Splinter Cell: Conviction, Too Human, Huxley, GTA IV (exclusive content), DMC4etc.. The PS3 has a few more popular franchise, but many of these titles won't hit the PS3 until summer or even winter in the case of FFXIII & GT5. If you don't mind waiting another 6-10 months, the PS3 will have some great titles. The XBox 360 main advantage is that it has quality titles out now like Orange Box, Bioshock, Halo 3, PGR4, Mass Effect, Gears of War, CoD2,3,4, Lost Planet, Dead Rising, etc.. The PS3 does have Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, Resistance: FoM, R&C and Warhawk, but that's about it.
2) I don't think the graphics on either system will really eclipse the other. I expect the graphics to stay pretty close to the same for the life of both systems.
3)If you don't mind paying $50 a yrs for XBoxLive,just about every XBox 360 is playable online. That can't be said for the PS3 games. The user base on XBox Live compared to the PS3 is like 8:1. So you shouldn't have any problems finding other to play against. Sony's PSN for the PS3 is FREE, but it stilldoesn't match XBoxLive'sservice.
4) You will have fun with either systems. If all depends on the games you like to play. The only difference right now is the XBox 360 has more quality titles to chose from. By this time next year the PS3 will have a ton of quality titles to chose from as well.
5) Depending on how well the PS3 does over the next 2 years, it might last 7-8yrs. The XBox 360 should last just as long, but M$ is known for wanting to improve technology, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a new XBox 360 within the next 3 yrs with HD-DVD or a better format. I truly think both systems will go at least 7yrs though.
As for the wireless adapter, you can get any USB wireless adapter and plug it into your XBox 360 for wireless access. You don't have to use the one M$ sells for $99. The PS3 already a wireless adapter built in, which is convenient. If you have a internet cable new your router you can just plug it into the XBox 360.
