Okay so for awhile now I've been wanting to get a 360. I've had one already but I took it back because I didn't have time to play it and I just wanted my $500 back lol !!!

Now PS3 is down to $399.99 and I've heard so much about the 360 and its Ring of Death that I don't want to take a chance with that hunk of plastic.

So has there been many problems with the PS3? All the word of mouth going around has shadowed the PS3 badly. Anytime games are talked about all I ever hear is 360 and I want to be different and have something that won't break down at any given time.

The failure rate for the Playstation 3 is pretty low. I've had mine for a year and I haven't had any problems. Their built pretty well.

With the newest hardware, it's been improved upon greatly. Microsoft has also extended warranty's for the ring of death.

I noticed you have a Motorstorm avi lol !!!

Well I think I'm going to go with the Playstation 3 as it seems less common and its doubted to much. I'm pretty sure Sony would not spend millions of dollars and not get enough games for the system. that would be dumb.

Also lets think about this for a moment. The first game system that Microsoft ever built was Xbox so this is only their second time around. Sony has been around for much longer time then they have.

You know the warranty's are nice and all but honestly I don't want to wait between 2months to a freaking year to get my 360 back just because the dumbasses can't insure that it will never get a ring of death.

If you're intrested, here are some things coming to the Playstation 3 this year.

It's not all of it, but it's enough to see if the PS3 would be the system for you.

Who cares, go with the better system which is 360 because it clearly has a better choice in games. Microsofts warranty is unbeatable.

Don't get a different console for the sake of being different. Look at their specs and the games available and decide for yourself.
If you love FPS games with good multiplayer, get a 360
If you're interested more in RPGs then I believe PS3 is the way to go (PS3 fanboys, feel free to correct me)
If Nintendo's games appeal to you, get a Wii.

For example, personally I am an avid follower of Nintendo's biggest franchises (Mario, Metroid, Zelda and Smash Bros), so I'm going with Wii.

My brother, on the other hand, loves FPS, so he's gotten a 360.

Of the 3 consoles, the PS3 is the one I know least about, so I can't advise you much more on it.

Really i comes down to what you want in your game console.

PS3 Pros
-Best Graphics using HDMI full 1080I
-Less Problems
-Free Online Community to connect with friends
-Alot of Big Name Titles sold Only on PS3
-Cheap Blu Ray player
PS3 Cons
-No Rumble feature yet
-Not as Indepth of an online community such as Xbox Live (but easier imo)
-Expensive, or atleast was alot higher then the 306
-little game support right now, but next year many many more titles will be available

360 Pros
-Xbox Live
-Big Names Titles only for 360 (halo, gears and such)
-Reasonably priced now
-Rumble Feature
-easy connect ability to your PC if you have Media Center
360 Cons
-Red Ring Of Death
-Reaching the peak of its Graphical Performance (PS3 has barely touched the surface of its graphics)
-Large external Power Brick that over heats easily
-Loud Fans and Small Hard Drives, must be a special Hard Drive (PS3 give you the ability to buy a 160 gig labtop hard drive, swap it in, and format it to work with the PS3. No buying Sony Only hard drives!)
-Pay Per Month online Gaming
-Losing some of the bigger name title to PS3 (Metal Gear, UT, GT, ect...)
-Poor Media Connectivity, no card readers
-No internet Browser
-Can be none user friendly

This is my opinion because i own both a 360 and PS3. I run them both on my 1080I 32 inch Wide Screen LCD HDTV. Owning both of them i can tell you the PS3 is the clear winner in my mind. I love all the features, the Colors, the out of this world graphics, the ease of use. The PS3 is just a better system that we have barely touched the surface of in terms of games and graphical superiority.

That's because of the games on them. The PS3 has the capacity for better graphics, but that capacity is yet to be realised.

I've heard that so many times. By the time they figure out how to utilize it's magical potentials, xbox 3 will have hit the market to finish it off for good. That won't for a while though.

well it would be about time they are one console behind right now it only makes sense that they would need a 3rd machine to keep up with sonys 3rd one
