The PS3, since you can then play warhawk, tekken 5 DR online, everyday shooter, resistance, ratchet and clank, motorstorm and ninja gaiden sigma on it, then watch a spiderman 3 bluray on it.

Whoah, seven games wirth having? There goes the 'ps3 has no games' thing.

If you are going to compare the two at least pick the Xbox 360 Premium which has the same price tag, (in australia at least) cheers

Considering I already have a Premium 360, I'll take the 40GB.

Heck, even if I didn't have a premium, I'd choose the 40GB

Is the 40gb PS3 even upgradable? If not the 360 arcade for sure, one can always stick a hd on it and walla, 360 pro right there. No bc = no 40gb for me.

40 gig I need GTA 4 and MGS 4. What is the point behind the arcade one anyway? If I were to get a 360 it be the elite not the arcade.

Unlike the 360 in which you have to get special hard drives specifically for it(right?), you can use almost any hard drives for the ps3. So it's upgradeable.

I would get the ps3 because it's just a better buy that comes with more features.

Neither. I'd save my money for either an Elite or an 80gb PS3.

40GB PS3. Having a hard drive is a nice, almost necessary feature. Reliability is nice, too, with or without a warranty. Ultimately, though, it comes down to games. You should do a bit of research and look into the exclusive games offered on both systems. Make a list of the ones that appeal to you. Whichever system has the most is the one you go with. Have fun.

I'm not talkin' about adding more hard drive space I meant backwards compatibility. Can that PS3 get software updates for bc?

What difference does it make? The guy mentioned nothing about wanting to play PS2 games. He probably wants to play, I dunno, PS3 or 360 games... can you imagine that? Backwards compatibility is terribly overrated, especially considering that every life form in the galaxy owns a PS2.

40gb. This is a no-brainer and even lemms would agree. The arcade is gimped. Ps3 is easier to update the hdd. Blu-ray for $400. BC is overrated. Once you go next gen you don't go back especially with holiday 07 and 08 lineup for ps3.

You named five... :\ Motorstorm is an imcomplete racing game, Warhawk is fun, Tekken is not even out yet, you consider everyday shooter a game? WTF? Ratchet and clank is pretty neat, Ninja gaiden is awesome, that leaves you with 5 Awesome games not seven, just though i correct you.

Gee I don't know, maybe I am considering them as well. And I too own a PS2 but don't want my tv cabinet litered with consoles and wires.
