Which one are you getting? Which one do you think is better? Why?

i think the PS3 is better because it is really portable and could play other things other than games

I rather go with a PS3....because it is coming out with a lot of terrific games.....plus i think the graphics are better than the Xbox 360......

-However Sony announced they might take out some stuff from the PS3...that were already gonna be included....so I don't know.....

-I rather have a PS3...and maybe a Nintendo Revolution.....Xbox 360 really has to suprise me to make me turn its way......

-Next Generation Console Game Wishlist: ( :D feel free to pre-purchase for me :D )
-=PS3=-
-Metal Gear 4
-Devil May Cry 4
-Killzone 2
-Resident Evil 5

-=NintendoRevolution=-
-Legend of Zelda:Twilight Princess
-And all those old school games from nintendo that will be playable on this Console....(maybe)

-=Xbox360=-
-None at the moment...but I am searching

And the XBOX 360 doesn't? Here is a summary of what it has:

Quote:# Digital entertainment: Amplify your music, photos, video, and TV. Watch progressive-scan DVD movies right out of the box. Rip music to the Xbox 360 hard drive and share your latest digital pictures with friends. Make the connection, and Xbox 360 instantly streams the digital media stored on your MP3 player, digital camera, Media Center PC, or any Microsoft® Windows® XP-based PC.

That is true, the only thing I like about the PS3 more is the variety of games; however, I like evrything else on the XBOX360 more.

Plus, the PS3 controllers suck.

Tis.....PS3 controller look sweet, and confortable...but thats me..i love the XBOX 360. The PS3 graphics are gonna be WAYYY better though. The PS3 grahics chip uses 300 million transistors, which is the combined gfx power of Gamecube, XBOX, and PS2.

Both should be too expensive for me... PS3 (500) and Xbox 360 (400) and the games will be 60 dollars each. OUCH!

Yeah, that always happens when they come out. Thing is, if you wait a year or two, the prices go down by like half.

PS3 with it's backwards compatibility did it for me. Cause there are a lot of awesome games on PS2.

Like Snake Eater.
