hmm...I don't know, but the PS3 we have has been working perfectly fine for us for the past 2 years with no issues. not trying to bash on a system but from what i've witnessed, the 360 does have good customer service but i dont think i'd want to deal with that red ring of death. PS3 is great for blue ray but im still kinda questionable about how reliable it is when I keep watching Blue Ray than switch to a game.

On graphics though, you guys should try Kill Zone 2 for ps3, the graphics are insane...insane. I havent played the 360 much but when i compared the 360 and ps3 graphics in COD5, there was little difference IN my eyes. ALL around, it's what you're gonna use it for. But I'm lovin my ps3 for right now.

NOTE: ps3 guys, add me!

i say ps3, you got a blue ray dvd player and a gaming system, i know some electronics guy awhile back said get the ps3, and the online play is free. unlike 180. i think xbox screwed up on this one, i rather have the original xbox modded! and a ps3 and a wii so my fatass can work out.... but just my .02 :)

I like 360 more but ps3 has more. really depends what you wanna play. personally I'm going to have both eventually.

Red Ring of Death = Fail. Therefore, I say PS3.

i just bought a ps3. i say neither.
$200+ purchase add $50+ games = fail.

PS3 for Street Fighter 4!

On a side by side comparison done by IGN, GOW 2 on 360 has better graphics/higher resolution the Killzone 2 on PS3.

Both have goods and bads, But I'd rather just buy a blu-ray player and save $100+

When you do something like that, you get a slow loading player that could become obsolete if it doesn't have the option to update firmware and support the Profile 2.0 movies. PS3 is one of the best options for a Blu-Ray player that is future-proof in that regard.

You can get the Samsung for $200, or $150 if you look around, Loads great/fast, and has updatable firmware.

360 has the rrod and I heard of another problem. All of my friends are converting to ps3, I might since my 360 has the rrod right now.

So you would spend $50 more (and I doubt the upconverting is as good as the PS3) and have a less reliable and louder game machine? Not to mention the media center aspect of the PS3 and it can upgrade HD's easily. The best thing about the X360 is the cheap and more readily available games since it is older.

The new Elites aren't loud at all, Using Windows Media Connect on the xbox is amazing, you can almost completely control your PC through your xbox.

Xbox has infinitely better online, and has more "great" games. Both of those are what gamers look into. If the Xbox had BR, and no RROD the PS3 wouldn't even be considered. Theres a reason the PS3 got named "Failure of the year" when it came out, and to this day xbox's are outselling PS3's.

At the same time, I do like some PS3 things. They both had backwards compatibility, then Sony took it out for some reason. Sony has built in wireless (hella nice) BR, and has no such thing as RROD.
