well, the 360 had some issues when it first came out, but right now its probably the "best" choice to buy, if you are open to it. The ps3 will catch up when it sees, or probably has already seen, how far behind they are. The rumored late march update thats supposed to hit ps3s will probably fix some issues like background dl, and maybe more since phil harrison was quoted as saying theres more stuff, but he would be "killed" by kawanishi-san (dont know who that is, and if his name is spelled right). This list is pretty acurate, and gamespot has done a good job. Many fanboys will think this is bashing the system, but its not, its the truth. I have a playstation 3 btw, and its awesome. The downside, is the online as its not as great as live, its good though. Hopefully they keep it like live, but for free..lol :)
