Think about it, you buy a premium 360 for 300 bucks. you pay 120 bucks every 2 years for live. You play your 360 for 2 years and then.... boom!!! the red ring of death ( if your unlucky)!!! now, the ps3. you buy a 40gb ps3 for 400 bucks. online play is free. home is coming out and you can get it for free. and best of all you can cook on your ps3.

True (except for the $120 bucks every 2 years, not sure where you got that form) - but PS3 has no games that I enjoy.

$120 every two years for Xbox Live, as opposed to PSN which is free, I think is what he was saying. Two years until RROD? HAH! I've been through FOUR 360s so far.. even though I only paid for two.. and it hasn't even been two years.

Its hard for me to care about what the ps3 can do, sure it has more firepower, but doesn't have the games that I would like to play on it... Mainly cause of Mass Effect, and about the PSN, I give it a nod for the free online, but I prefer the xbox live cause I know more people who play on xbox 360's.

I've gone through 2 RRODs already. The main reason i decided to buy a PS3 was because i want the bluray (gotta have my blueray, wifi, free psn, and also because i'm pacient. I knew big titles like Killzone 2, and eventually a game like MAG would only be available on a PS3 because it's a stronger machine. PS3 doesn't have much great exclusive games, but they will have one of the best games to come out in the market.

Oh and the xbox360 is toooo loud, when i leave it over night to download games it's hard to sleep with it on. My PS3 is nice and quiet ahhhh yes i love it. No batterypack to haul around.
