people who simply flout the ps3 as being better are just acting ill-informed. The xbox 360 is offering you online play YEARS ahead of the ps3’s online functions (they’re just now getting in game friends list) next the 360 is cheaper than the ps3 if money is an issue. Not many know this but if anything the xbox 360 is more advanced in terms of game design potential than the ps3. It is capable of better ai and shading. Most cross platform games seem to look better on the xbox than ps3 (www.gametrailers.com offers some of these comparison videos) the ps3 does have its advantages though. It is the cheapest blu ray player on the market and offers more Japanese content. Most of the ps3’s “pro’s” can easily be debunked. The previous answer’s author seems to be grossly misinformed. The six axis controller is currently a gimmick that makes games worse (see lair and motorstorm for proof) the games are no better being that most of the games are multi platform with the exception of metal gear solid and little big planet. In summary the 360 has much better online play, arguably better games, no doubt better exclusives at the moment, a better price point, a rumored blu ray drive in the making, movie rentals, vast media market place, vast amounts of casual and arcade games, equal if not better graphics, and it frankly looks better than the behemoth that is the ps3. The ps3 only has free online, guaranteed blu ray, a slight lead in Japanese devolpment. I think that the choice is obvious
