If you like shooters 360 is definitely the system to go with. But if you are more of an rpg player I would lean towards PS3

does the 360 break as much as people say it does?? as I said my friends had theirs since launch and theirs just broke a few weeks ago and they got it back.

this is where it gets difficult....because you see sooooooooo many people complaining about RRoD and other technical problems....but see something you have to think about, is what we dont see is people saying how great their systems have been...

imagine everytime someone had been enjoying their system they posted, hte forum would be totally litered with posts.....

so yes, the RRoD is a big problem....but with a 3 year warranty, you need not worry.....if it happens to you, well then you send it in and you get it back.....you SHOULD NOT let that affect your decision

get the 360, enjoy the 360 and you wont regret it....its the best on the market, hands down.....you WILL NOT regret it man....happy gaming!

I totally agree. The 360 is awesome and the new stuff they are putting in the system should greatly reduce the heating issues that have been happening. I have sent my 360 back a few times but it didn't crap out on me for a year and a half and I bought mine at launch. Plus, it only took two weeks to get it back and it's SO worth it even if your console breaks down. I mean, you get it fixed for free and the games are just SICK! Not to mention Live is great! I seriously wouldn't worry about it and would just getget the 360 because it rocks and at this point the hardware is much more solid overall.

Agreed as well, the 360 is a no-brainer and not saying this cause I'm biased (I really am biased :D) but just compare the game collections and the game review scores btw PS3 and 360, PS3 is a joke as far as sofware is concerned. Note: For full disclosure's sake, as far as reliability, i'm on my 3rd 360 but I got my first one 4 weeks after launch so it's been a while. They currently fixed the issue so if you buy a new one you should be ok. Even with 3 i'm still a happy camper.
