[QUOTE="donalbane"][QUOTE="RickLemieux"]Microsoft gives me a choice.  The Premium package is perfect for me,  it comes with component cables which is the connection for my TV.  It gives a me a hard drive for Demos, movies and game saves.  My friend did not have the internet and was not interested in downloading.  He just wanted to play games...so guess what, he bought the CORE and he loves it.  Now if you are a technical person and someone who wants everything that the Elite has to offer, buy that one.  I'm very happy with my purchase and have no complaints.  Great games and a great online experience, what else could I ask for.NextGenNow

Blu-Ray > HD-DVD audio quality

WiFi built in > Xbox Tower

Multimedia Center PS3 >>>>>> 360

Web Browser > No Web browser

7.1 >>> 5.1

True 1080p >>>> Fake 1080p

SD slots >> No SD slots

Mem Stick Slots >>>> No mem stick slots

More USB ports >>> Less USB Ports

Optimal HDMI >>> Crapped Out Knock Off HDMI

PS3 >>> 360

Fact.

Also don't forget that by buying a PS3, we are giving money to a country that does not believe in the American way of life.  I say you should stick with the Xbox 360 and buy quality over anything from Sony.   That's just my two cents.

Good day.
