xbox or ps3
I own a 360 and have a few friends with ps3 and we always get in friendly arguments over which is better, the ps3 is more expensive has less games but free online play and its a blueray player not to mention you can't even hear it with a stethescope. The 360 has way more games but sounds like a 2.4 stroker 2 stepping in a tunnel. But its less expensive and more arcade like. Opinions!

Re: xbox or ps3
PS3 for sure, they don't get the ring of death. I've heard you can get a download for it so you can play PS2 games also

Re: xbox or ps3
I have both, and equally enjoy both. The older ps3's could play ps2 games, but the newest ones don't. I got the red ring, which was under warrenty so I got it fixed. Which ones best? I'd say ps3. The games on 360 are plentiful, but it's jet engine sound pisses me off. The ps3 graphics seem ahead of xbox, just got kill zone 2 for ps3 and was blown away by the cut scenes.

Re: xbox or ps3
I'm not mutch of a Gamer and have no experience with the Xbox, But I love our PS3. The blue ray/upconverting DVD player works great. The media center is a must If you download any movies of the net. We've also been using a program called Playon to stream Netflix play it nows , Hulu, Youtube, CBS.com, CNN.com and ESPN.com to the playstation its awsome. No need for a DVR when we can stream Hulu and CBS.com. BTW MY wife plays plenty of games too.

Re: xbox or ps3
PS3 for the graphics and overall quality; XBOX consoles break down and their graphics aren't even in the same galaxy as PS3. When I am gaming on my 46" 120hz Sony Bravia LCD I almost get dizzy from how clear and how good the motion flow is. XBOX doesn't even look close.

Re: xbox or ps3
Metal Gear for the ps3 has warnings because of the graphics, you can get sick playing it.

Re: xbox or ps3
I have both and the Xbox hasn't been turned on more then maybe 3 or 4 times since I got the PS3. PS3 takes the cake in every respect IMO.

Re: xbox or ps3
yeah...the ps3 you will love. Have you guys played Kill Zone 2? graphics are crazy good. Lets just say I got dizzy playing it...and I'm not one to get dizzy. For GT5 Prologue, the game is sex in my eyes but I just hope in the finished GT5, the online play is much better and easier.

Re: xbox or ps3
We have a 360 and a Wii. The Wii gets more play time, but I love forza 2 and gta4.
I still want a PS3 though because it is a better console. The XBOX was just cheaper.

Re: xbox or ps3
I have both:
Xbox is way better for gaming, and the online service and online content so 10x better.
PS3 makes for a great Blu-Ray player; that's all I use mine for b/c it's worthless for anything else. PS Network sucks, games suck, etc.

Re: xbox or ps3
the xbox seems to have a classic arcade feel to it, and i HATE the ps3 controller, its like something you would get in a cereal box, but i wouldnt mind having a ps3, I do admit when i turn my xbox on, all the power goes out in the eagan area lol

Re: xbox or ps3
As far as the Graphics go, a majority of the time Xbox actually has higher resolution then the PS3. Theres plenty of independent studies that show this.
The xbox does get red ring, But they also get a 3 year warranty, and will usually also usually send you free stuff if it happens to red ring.
As far as games go, it's not even a competition, the 360 takes that hands down.
PSN is a Joke, thats why it's free. I'm okay with paying $3 a month for great online. Also you can have Netflix instantly stream movies to your console.
The PS3 has BR, which is a good quality.
Overall, if you wan't to play games on/offline go with a 360 elite, there quiter and have a lot of features. If you like BR movies, and the occational game go with the PS3.

Or if you like to play games, and the occasional BR, go with the PS3
