I have both and ps3 controllers always break, and they are odd to hold, not to long ago psn shutdown for like a day

it shut down for a major update, and it was only for like 3 hrs. it shut down so it could upload hulu to its inventory along with netflix, and to come out with a whole new design.

and ive had the same ps3 controller for 4 yrs now, doesnt even have a scratch on it.

and they feel more comfortable to hold for a longer period of time than those fat failbox controllers.

Seems to me that there is such a following of each system. That if everybody stopped making "exclusive" games. Both gaming platforms would benefit.
My son just got the 360 to replace the one that was stolen from his college apartment last year. He was on the fence between the two over which one he wanted and would have been just as happy with either one. The only differences were that has still has his 360 games cause they only stole the system. And PS3 has blue ray.

Well. We dont have any blueray disks. So that really wasnt an issue. In the end it came down to which was going to get the most use. Well he already had all those games And he ended up getting the 360 originally over the PS3 because it had the longest list of games that he wanted to play. Which really should be THE determining factor to purchasing any gaming system.

And he has enough of friends with the PS3 that they bring their systems over each others homes so they can play the games that the other doesn't support.

"This one" is better "That one" is better is all a load of cr@p. They both play games. They both have ups and downs. If the parent companies of these systems relly felt so strongly that their system was better. Both would stop making "exclusive" games and let the chips fall where they may. Though in the end they, and the companies that make the games themselves would all benefit.

I've got big hands, and the xbox controller is slot more comfortable o hold for me.

Mine lasted two days... poor thing, I always think it is staring at me with that big red dot of longing... as I blast away zombies and mutants... on my PS3...

I wouldn't pay for any box stuffed with several years old technology and pita style controllers.

I got a wii for christmas I think of exchanging it for a 360, but I've had one before and it broke. I have yet to hear anybody say they were very amused by wii, actually anyone I know to even have one only uses it as a paper weight. 
 Anybody else have one and know any great games to play on it?

1 good thing is a new zelda comes out in 2011 woop woop!

Nintendo is still filling the market for the 12 and under crowd imo.

In all side-to-side comparisons I've seen, the Xbox 360's graphics trump the PS3's by a fairly pathetic margin.
I don't get involved in console wars generally because they're even more stupid than OS wars, but from what I understand the PS3 has a bunch complex, impressive sounding hardware that in reality is nearly useless, which is why the Xbox 360, in practice, generally produces better results.

From personal experience, the online experience is better on the 360- almost no one has a PS3, and, after all, the only point to having a console is to play with your friends, as console games are crap.
Also, the Playstation controller is way too small and the joystick positioning is terrible.

Wii may as well be the best option due to the fact that there's more 'party' games that are fun to play with multiple people that are physically together, also due to all of the just-plain-fun Nintendo games available for it.

Wii definitely has more family games then 360 and PS3. If you have kids, then a Wii is probably the best.
