You should put this in System Wars, you'll get more biased answers. (I hope)

Oh, and judging from you avatar. PS3 might take the crown...

Tell me about your taste in games, your level of technological prowess, and what you expect to get out of a console besides games.

Good

Free Online

Blu-Ray player

All games utilise Blu-Ray discs

PSN store is quite varied, and includes demos of upcoming games, absolutely free

Free internet surfing

Quiet fan (those who own/have owned both consoles will know how sweet a sound that is)

No disc tray, discs are merely inserted via a slot at the front

Good DVD playback

Recently released platinum/greatest hits series means that absolute PS3 classics are now dead cheap ($30/£15)

Bad

Online doesn't rival Xbox Live in terms of features

Some prefer the 360's exclusives

Trophies system just isn't there yet. Not by a long shot.

prowess? Never heard of it. I think you should get PS3, especially if you own PS2 before. I cant explain for you, but, pretty much what you know about the PS3, will determine if you'd rather have this system in you house.

because its out selling x box 360 is technically better has blue ray built in and is just fantastic, oh and has a comfortable controller UN like the 360 that feels like a clumsy lump of mashed plastic.

I'm not sure if I agree that XBox Live has better "features" than the PSN; whatever those features would even be. PSN is just as good as XBox Live, for free. Don't accept any statements to the contrary. However, I have heard a number of people express that they didn't like the user interface of the PSN, which is somewhat more understandable. Ultimately it depends what you want, but if you're not a HUGE gamer you're better off with the PS3. It has more value (any value) outside the realm of gaming, and better quality exclusives (in my personal opinion), if not more of them.

If you are a huge competitive online finatic who likes to show off what he has earned in games get a 360. If you are a huge RPG fan get a 360. If you are heavily into racers get a PS3. Most games are multiplat. Just pick the ones that has the exclusives that interest you. If you like online but aren't as heavy get a PS3.

put that topic on system wars..everyone on this forum will tell u to buy a ps3 becuase everyone on this forum choose a ps3 over the xbox 360..on the system wars u will get people with diffrent opinions..I personaly would say buy a ps3 becuase many cool games are coming out and it doesnt have the technical issues the xbox 360 has and it also has free online play which makes it a great deal...but again..i'm sure u will enjoy both consoles which ever u pick.

I would say for the Blu-ray... if you're into really crisp HD movies.

Dude just get a PS3. When I had gotten mine is was like eeeh mediocre but when they keep updating the system more cooler stuff is added. So there are going to be cool features in the future I am forsure of it. The system has high scalability so you can do alot. Also its free to play online, I dont see the need to pay when your already paying for internet. Also Its All Black With A Little Bit Of Chrome. Looks better to me.

Matchmaking for xbox live is NOT worth it.

You pretty much pay to get matched up with people of random skill, no matter what the game.

I have all three systems and I kinda like the PS3 the best, though xbox has a few more fun games. I just REALLY don't think paying for xbox live is worth it.
