Jeez who did not see that pissing contest. First off one is not better then the other.one is better hardware wise while the other is slightly better firmware wise. Ps3 supior hardware, xbox360 supior firm where due to patents that they won't share for a price.

Gaming wise: what types of games are you gonna play? Fps, rpgs action adventure? Fps are home of xbox360 why cause only westerners likes mindless viommnmnnmnmmlence and western devs are the primary makers of that and so the generally design first for 360 and ps3 second. And 360 gets the updates first is because Ms buys time releases to try to give it the one up on ps3.

RPG wise you best get a ps3 if you prefer jrpgs. And action games as well cause mgs4, uncharted series which are some of the best action games known to man and my god is it awesome visually.

I own both and I hardly ever play my 360 elite system. Got it mainly for tales of vesperia. My ps3 I love it. I don't need to but a BD player cause I own one (ps3) I mainly play rpgs and I have quite the collection.

I personally don't like 360 at all. High graphic games look like crap cause they are over compressed. Compare star ocean 4 on 360 vs ps3 and you will notice a bunch of graphical flaws on 360's due to compression. 360's wireless controllers have a lag. The response time is so much slower then the dual shock 3 and sixaxis controller. Again perfect example with star ocean 4 I could never run complete circles by moving the joystick in 360 motion as fast as I could where as ps3 version could keep up perfectly although it is funny as hell seeing the 360 try to keep up my character was zigzaging all over the place instead. And its not limited to just that game cod mwf 2 has the same issues as well as all of my other games that I had for it. Psn is just as stable as live in my experience with it. I'm not an online player but the times I do I don't have any problems at all.

Its all opinion. If all your friends have a 360 and you want to join in with them for fps games then it should be a no brainer get 360. If you want to play some of the best action adventure games and jrpgs and want a gaming system as well as a blu-ray player and you don't mind having to have the latest maps as soon as possible for a fps then get a ps3.

IMO you should get both. And all the people who are petty and biased and don't give the full picture grow up its been 6 years now the mindless hate for either system is a dead beaten horse by now. Stop giving out false info and really 95million people and growing every day does not give it warrant to have a ps3. Have you even played 95 million players in your life to date hell no. That's a moo point.

I don't like the 360 but I gave my reasons for this and I still encourage him to get it if his favorite genre is fps or if all his friends own it. This crap where all you say is this sucks get this and either give out false info or none at all is childish (oh btw to the person who asked this a hell of a lot of live customers are bunch of retarded little kids who can be of the most racist, rudest bunch of schmucks known to man).

Good luck with your buy in which ever you chose just make sure it fits what you want to do and play and play with.

Kinect and PS move are both gimmicks and should not be apart of your consideration. I own move cause I wanted to try it out and while I find it cool it is not a must have and I definitely do not own kinect I do not like its over simplified idea sorry but the ps3 Kevin butler ads perfectly summed it up with his finger gun antic sorry kinect I'm not a 5yr old. I want to hold my gun controller (which the ps3 has an accessory for the move to make it look and act the part for its shooter games if the game dev designed ps move compatibility).
