Well it would be nice to have a PS3 and and Xbox 360 Elite, but alas, I will only get one.

But its just so hard to decide.

I want a 360 because: Online, Cheaper, Halo, Gears of War, Bioshock, Froza, Banjo Threeie. (May be getting a Price drop soon.)

Some cons are: Expensive to get online (Adaptor and Membership). Relibality.

A PS3 because: Blu-ray, MGS:4, better version of Oblivion,Free Online, will have better graphics in long run most likely.

But not because: You must buy a HDMI cable, Slightly more expensive, less good games (for now).

I want it to compliment my Wii and I dont care about 360 games going to PC because I have a PC that will ever run those games.

Is anyone else in this predicement, it seems like every week I change what console I want and I will buy one by the end of the year, but the decision is hard.

Thats what im worried, what if the PS3 gets amazing within a year. But then again all the current and upcoming 360 games that will keep me busy untill about 2 years, then mabye, mabey I can get PS3, but probably not. Or I could just get a PS3, see why its hard?

Actually I have the same problem, I'm leaning more to the PS3 personally though (it has a ton of exclusives on the way). However, I'm planning on holding out till around X-Mas, see if I can find a deal. Also, by then we should see all of Sony's killer apps out, then we'll see which console is better. But then again Microsoftt's library may prove to still be superior, who knows for sure.

HDMI cables are actually quite cheap if you buy them online. never buy an HDMI cable in a store, they charge way too much. just look around the web some.

Tman just get a ps3 i understand what your going through. The 360 is in the lead right now and im enjoying it alot,but ps3 will get amazing soon. And with the price drop coming and the great games coming out and free online its the perfect choice for you. But if you are looking for instant gratification get a 360 tottaly up to you my friend.

Well I am looking ahead in the long run. I mean either way im giving up so much. I will wait till E3, but ill be so much more hyped for all systems.

I really want MGS4 though.

And I am somewhat of a graphics lover, so do you think the PS3 will be better than it is now?

Get a PS3. It is way more reliable. Motorstorm, Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Resistance are awesome games. Don't forget about all the multiplatform games. The games that are comming out soon are going to be awesome too.

The PS3 is only $20 more than the Elite.:P

If you can really only have one of the two consoles and you're set on getting one now, all you can really do is compare games coming out on each and decide based on that.

You guys realise the 360 has a better GPU right?....just checking.

I dont see the 360 losing much ground at all, and with 75-80% of the multiplat games being better on the 360, the 360 is the ps2 of this gen IMO.

i would say it depends on the kind of games you want- 360 is really the only choice if you like FPS- but for most other styles of games- the PS3 will probably come out ahead in the long run. i dont care what anyone says but PSN and XBL are the same, except PSN is free.

Right now the PS3 is winning for me. Mostly cause of MGS:4, and Uncharted looks really good.
