I would have to be on the fence with both PS3 and Xbox 360, but leaning to the Xbox 360 side. I’ve played both consoles and have my opinion for each. First for PlayStation, I’ve owned both the original and the PS2 before I had a Xbox. Now with the Ps3 I believe its a great console to own, that’s of course if you dont have internet or yours is way to garbage to do anything on then its perfect to play by yourself or have a buddy or two come over and chill. Now if you want amazing online gaming with big title games then Xbox 360 is the way to go. Here is something interesting for all you PS3 lovers. A guy came into GameStop one day while I was browsing the selection and wanted to purchase a gaming console. Now the lady behind the counter is a good friend of mine I’ve known for a few years who just so happens to be a PS fan and despises Xbox, she discussed the pros and cons of each console. So I decided to inform the man about Xbox 360. Now I failed to mentioned the Red Ring of Death to him as it has not happened to me, but as soon as my friend mentioned the failure rate of the Xbox 360 he was shock. After a good thirty minutes or so the man ended up buying the 360. What does that say about PlayStation, why would people hear the facts and still go with the one more likely to fail? XBOX 360 IS BETTER!!!! Oh by the way, PlayStation doesn’t have MLG games. See people play in these HALO tournaments and win big cash prizes, and do you know what they play on??? Yep thats right its a 360, oh and C.O.D also.

One problem about this article. It completely FORGETS that while I wholeheartedly agree that Xbox 360 has better exclusives than PS3 they are NOT really exclusives. Often times they end up being “Games for Windows”. If you own a decent gaming PC rig the 360 is not worth your while. “PS3 has no games” = PS3 has poor selection of platform exclusives. The only game I forsee playing if I bought a 360 would be Halo. Borderlands, Oblivion, Quake 4, Assassins Creed, Bioshock, you name it, it’s on the PC too. Sigh. You want exclusives? Go play Nintendo games.

What happened to SNES VS Genesis? That was the pinnacle of console wars. You HAD to own both because there were a lot less multplatforming then than now.

the online support for the ps3 doesn’t suck its pretty much similar to the 360, and i’d rather go blu-ray cause who wants to get up in the middle of some awesome action to switch discs, not me

PS3 is $299. And you failed to mention XBOX’s multiplayer, XBL, is $50 a year. Over a 5 year life cycle, that’s an additional $250 on top of the price of the system.

In the end, the XBOX is THE most expensive. And the graphics aren’t that much better than the PS3’s.
