i like both but my choice would be the ps3 since online play is free and the ps3 lifetime might be much longer than the 360.

and it also comes down on which console exclusive games you're after.

i voted 360 because of better game selection, better pricing. the fact that its not a playstation 3 or should i call it playstation 2.1. yeah xbox live isnt free but i think its worth it, great people online... except for your halo extremists.

Thanks for the quick responses...keep them coming.
I really want to play the orange box, guitar hero, and ghost recon

Xbox Live isn't free for a reason, it's perfect, and perfection has its price.

It works flawlessly about 99.7% of the time, it's an excellent feature.

I think that this is one of those things where its sorta a matter of predicting the future.

Currently, I'd say the 360 is a better buy cause of xbox live, better games etc (everything stated above). The reason I'd go for the ps3 is because it has potential that the 360 doesnt. It has more powerful hardware + bluray. Who knows how long/if ever games will take advantage of this technology but when/if they do, the PS3 will pull ahead.

I think 360 because aside from everything else the online experience is awesome (even though it does cost $60 a year).

ps3 because for the price, your get a blu-ray player, a computer and a gameing system. Also the games are able to be great quality b/c it is blu-ray and the games also have free online. the controlers fit in your hands better and are usb connectors so if you lose a cable you dont need to spend 10$ on a new cable...

I think they made improvements.
They also extended to warranty to a few years so you shouldnt have to worry about that. I wouldnt say base your decision on fear of the RROD.

But my vote still goes for ps3 as i explained earlier.

There is a 3 year RROD warranty and they changed to 65nm CPU's and I believe they changed to 65nm GPU's as well.

I talked to my boss. he has a 360 and doesn't want it anymore. he might cut me a deal on it so I could get a PS3 as well. so i get the best of both worlds.

ive heard so much crap about the xbox 360 and it having problem so I would go with the ps3, plus it has blueray technology.
