for hardware ps3 is a much much better deal. You get blu ray player a fully replaceable hard drive you can use any size hard drive on ps3 unlike 360 where u have to use there over priced microsoft custum drive . with ps3 u get free online and built in wi fi while u have to pay 100$ just for wi fi . 4 years of xbox live is over 200$

I bought my kids an elite and gave it to them on Christmas eve. On New Years eve it quit reading discs. No lie, I posted about it on the 360 board. I do play my 360 alot, but I would recomend the ps3.

If you have videoplayer already, buying PS3 doesn't make too much sense.

It has, around four exclusive games worth buying, multiplats that always have problems with graphics or FPS or late by half a year.No single game yet that worth buying PS3 alone.

There is just no comparison to X360 if you don't buy stuff just because it's "Sony"

What types of games do you like? Do you need to spend the extra $100 for an Elite instead of a Premium? What's your internet situation (wireless versus having a router close by?)? The answers to these questions will help

Then it sounds like you can get away without a wireless router for the 360. I know the MS official one is $100, but supposedly cheaper third party USB receivers work as well (don't ask me for certain, I don't know).

If you liked the Live experience, and don't mind the cash, I'd recommend the 360 to you now. MS has the hardware problems covered, either through new chipsets or the warranty, so you don't have to worry about getting screwed there. Also, if you're undecided now odds are both will receive price cuts this year, so you can always wait.

My advice is get the 360 now, play the games for it (Halo 3, Mass Effect, etc.) and if you don't like it trade it in towards a cheaper PS 3 later in the year.

You'll still end up with more value with a PS3. Even with the elites.

If you want more info on the elites please check this out. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=xbox+360+elite+red+rings&search=Search

Without a doubt the 360 has the best online experience out of all consoles. Only downfall is the wifi situation and the subscription fee of $50 a year.

If you own a decent ish pc that can play games respectibly dont buy the xbox, pc basically shares thier library save a few games and save a few others that will eventually make thier way there like they always do. If you don't own one go with the 360, especially if you are into shooters/sports and currently even RPGs

There is just no comparison to X360 if you don't buy stuff just because it's "Sony"

but the 360 is so problematic, that even with the dominant software line-up, the people are still finding the 360 a hassle and while the ps3 have an inferior software line-up, at least it's 90% promised that you can turn on your ps3 at any given moment and play the few games that it does have and log in online without problems. The 360 is like life: "Tomorrow isn't promised to you" and for something that inconviently costed you 400+, that isn't quite a microsoft highlight, and while live do have more variety and more people online than psn, as of right now m$ is giving away free XBLA games to subscribers due to the fact that live is suffering inconviences at the present time and some people can't even sign in fully into the network, and the worst part is that LIVE carries a fee!!!! So with all of those problematic issues, is the 360 still the better buy with it's superior line-up and online service or is the ps3 with a decent line-up and a decent online network with little to no problems at all a better buy and at a cheaper price??
