I would say 360 because Im enjoying it.. but it depends on what you want of a gaming console...

but with 1000 bucks I would buy 360pro+pes6 for 340 euro at mediamarkt and save up an extra 100 to buy an800 euro37 inchLGLCD tv lol

$1000 will buy you an incredible PC... but if you don't plan on gaming on PC then the 360 or PS3 would be your best choice.

the lineup for the 360 is better this year and has variety, the hardware should be fixed in like a month with 65nm, hdmi, less noisy dvd drives, plus its $150 cheaper than the ps3 and you get better multiplats(like 60 fps madden, online VF5) if you hate the majority of the games for the 360 this year dont buy the 360(the following list is exclusive only)

Halo3(only true shooter)

Bioshock(also on PC, shooter but not exclusive)

Mass effect(rpg)

Blue Dragon(jrpg)

Lost Odyssey(Jrpg)

Eternal Sonata(jrpg)

PGR4(racer)

Naruto(platformer/action)

Ace combat six(airplane fighter simulation)

Viva Pinata part animals(hardcore casual)

I'd go with a PC, but if you were to get a console go with the 360; it has the biggest library of games.

Depends on the type of games you play. 360 has the biggest (and possibly the best) selection of games right now. Plus it's harware problems seem to resolved. The PS3 has great potential. But so did the NeoGeo. And if you are an older gamer that likes the Nintendo franchises than you can get a Wii. Actually, for $1000 you can get a Wii and either the PS3 or 360. Which would be sweet!

Well then, depending on your interest in the exclusives, a Wii or PS3 would be your best bet.

That could be because he moves the 360 while it's running with a disc in it.

No matter what the polls say dont waste your money on a wii or you will surely regret it. You will get bored out of your mind waiting the SSBB and then after that game you will have nothing to look forward to. Go witha 360 or PS3.

That would be a good choice. However, I am assuming that you are using US dollars. Good luck in whatever you decide. :)

Well, that would be scratching a disc. I was under the impression that it was scratching every single one of his discs. I don't know. I'm no expert, so he should probably contact customer service to find out why.

IMO, get a Wii and a 360. Best of both worlds. Little point in the PS3 as of now, considering losta exlusives are now going to the 360.
