Personally, I got an Xbox360 about 2 months ago. My choice was just based on that it had the games that I wanted to play, I think with consoles you need to look at the games they both have to offer and decide which ones you want to play more. As gameplay is main reason you should be buying the thing.

As for the Xbox failure rate, I believe the problem has been mostly fixed with the new consoles, so unless you are buying it second hand it shouldn't be an issue really. (I may be wrong about this, just what I have heard).

-360's xbox live SHITS all over the ps3, if your a LONER you get ps3 and play single player fps on it agains horrible bots for hours untill you complete the game then proceed to never play it again. 360xbox live provides a longer lifespan for games due to their online mulitplayer element. even in the case of racing games which do seem to be better on ps3, the xbox's ones are great online.

-BAD - ring of death, it does seem that xbox 360's do suffer warranty issues more ofthen that the ps3, dont let this put you off, pay the extra 50 bucks and get some extended warranty for like 5 years, in 5 years there will be something better anyway.

-hackability - x360 has more potential with cracked games as it doesnt use blueray disks, lets face it, blueray burners are fing expensive so even if you can chip the ps3 you cant afford the burner/media to copy the games anyway.

-my opinion, lets look at the facts, im AWESOME and if i say the 360 pwns ps3 well.....it does.
kthnx
I'm back to clear a few things up. Firstly XBlive does not shit all over the PS3. Every single on-line game i've played on the PS3 has been perfect. If there is one compliant it's that there aren't as many ppl on (maybe thats a good thing, less 13 y/olds talking shit). Second, you are correct in the devs are porting games across because they don't have the money/capability to write games for the PS3. All that is/will change with time, look at MGS4...I'd like to see that run on a 360...
Lastly, i dont see the value in spending $500 for an XB + $50 warranty + $50 XBL and getting a games & dvd player...i must be missing something but last time i checked $678 for a PS3 which includes blu-ray player + free online + wifi is a pretty good deal considering tech wise it's superior to the 360.
House, i bought a PS3 considering what games will be available in the future, not what games are available today.

I think it's funny how XB360 owners talk their consoles up so much and call us PS3 owners fanboys. We just come in and point out the obvious....PS3 FTW! lol

I personally would prefer the PC over any console, any day. I find all consoles inferior in essentially every way and have hated them for quite a long time.

But... I personally would rather the Playstation 3. The reason why? Because you just have to save up for a bit (depending on how much your paid) then buy Sony Bravia HD LCD TV and with the current deal going on, get a Playstation 3 for free. Rather than spending the $350 on an XBOX 360, on top of a new TV. This way you can pick up a nice new TV that you can actually take advantage of the Blu-Ray and HD with.

Going on as what has been previously been mentioned by people, you have to look at purchasing either in the long term, the XBOX 360 will start to date, the Playstation 3 will hold its age for longer. Its the same fact when buying a car, you don't go out and buy a car with teribble fuel economy with the mind set that petrol prices are going to stay as they are. (Point being only thinking about NOW, rather than in the near FUTURE) Also, Japan in many ways are more reliable, thats why people buy Hondas and Mazdas over a Dodge for example, RELIABITY!!!, they would rather spend the extra money to have something that will last longer and wont have problems. Same goes for the consoles.

Bottom line is, the Playstation 3 will overtake the XBOX 360 sooner rather than later, so why not just fork out the extra dough, and have something that will last longer before you have to buy a new one, as well as enjoying the extra advantages.
