Being poor, I have an xBox 360. :confused:

I loves it, though. I won't compare since I've never even seen a PS3.

As much as I am no fan of Microsoft, I hate Sony even more.  Sony will never see a dime of my hard earned money.  Ever.

do a cost comparison on what you get.  

wireless, hi-def, blu-ray player and free online play.  


I think when you add all that in, the ps3 is actually cheaper.

I have a PS3 and have played on Xbox360.  I love the PS3.  I think overall PS3 looks better.  Especially considering the Xbox360 you will either want the Premium or Elite package.  That is pretty much the same price as the PS3 40GB version at $400 and the 80GB version at $500.

The ability to surf the internet on the PS3 is nice if you just want to look at something real quick instead of having to use your desktop.  Then the free online play is really nice unlike the Xbox360 service which is $50 but still have to pay for.

I think the PS3 controls are better than the 360 just because they arent as bulky.

I like my PS3 and would never trade it in for a Xbox360.

I have owned the ps1, ps2, xbox, gamecube, wii and now the ps3.  I rarely played any of the other consoles once I started pc gaming.  I lived on my pc.  My pc gaming addiction was a major factor in my divorce.  Thats how much I loved gaming on the pc.

So when my buddy told me I should get a ps3 I thought he was brain dead.  Consoles are for kids I told him.  Its just all cheesy kid games.  

Since I bought my ps3 there hasnt been a day go by that it hasn't been on.  I use it for everything.  Blu-ray is fantastic, rockband is a riot and uncharted is jaw dropping.  I love it so much I bought a psp just to be able to use the remote play feature.  Its a full media center, not just a gaming system.

From what it sounds like the PS3 does alot.  I don't currently want one as I have a Wii and a 360.  I have no complaints about the 360, it does alot and plays all my old games as well.

Ooh, keep in mind that the PS3 uses a standard hard drive. Buy yourself the 40GB version and swap it for a PC's 500GB drive. Seriously, it works. :D

I believe they're SATA 3.0Gb/s drives, so all you have to do is open it (hope you didn't want the warranty, though), unplug, plug, boot, and format.

OOZ you would be wrong there, the ps3 uses a laptop SATA 3.0Gb/s drive...... and you can only get those up to 320 gigs on newegg.com I thinks. But replacing the HDD takes only about 3 mins. because all you have to do is open the flap on the side and remove 5 screws.  Also the PS3 will format the drive for you so that is a big plus :aok  :aok
My opinion is, get the PS3 (it might cost more but it is definantly worth it.) and forget the Xbox 360 for now.

Eh, I skimmed an article once. Pretty good recollection for that.

Dont worry about it bro, didnt mean to sound harsh or anything.... I just like to modify and tinker with my consoles :) You will also want to get the HDD in 5200 rpms (it is 5000 somethin rpms...)  because the 7200 rpm will be a bit louder.

Couple of you mentioned Wii and zoomed right past it.  Does Wii have any current place in your game playing?
