PlayStation3, has more staying power. And if they all have a 360 go something different so you can play exclusives off all the consoles.

the 360 is the best console at the moment. It will still be the best by then end probably, but the PS3 will eventually overtake it.

My advice: look at the games out on each platform, and decide which range you like better.

360 has the better online and the better games catalogue at this stage, the PS3 has Blu-Ray I personally chose the 360 for its games and its superior online abilities as well as the lower price.

Oh yeah the 360 has a small hardware problem in 16.4% of consoles but don't mind that just think of the games and online and GTAIV downloadable content.

Sorry I would have replied sooner but I was playing COD4 online for FREE!!
I like the PS3 because it comes with everything out of the box the only thing you need to buy is a mic for online play. I use my Ps3 for everything, BluRa player, DVD player, CDs, MP3s, Divx and so on, it's very handy.

If I had to choose one of the consoles I would go for 360.

PS3 just doesn't have enough games on offer

For the recored I have a Wii as well whcih I thought was was great until I finished Zelda, Wii Sports, God Father and RE4 now for the past 4 months it has been gathering dust. This should change when Wii Fit and Mario Kart come out.
The Wii had limited software when it first hit the market and so did the PS3 but now the PS3 game library is continually expanding with some top titles just around the corner. Personally I think it's worth spending the extra cash for one.
I just recently purchased a 320gb external HD for it which I've filled with media and this has just made the PS3 even more versatile.
I think this is the first time a company has made a decent multimedia system even though it's a little pricey you get what you pay for.

It really depends on what type of gamer you are. I, am going to eventually purchase a PS3, no matter what is said about the 360's superiority, the PS3 just seems to suit my style of gaming better.

a wii is bettter at online play and gameplay but 360 has the best online game but the 360 also has a range of games that wii doesn't have but 360 doesn't have super smash bros brawl or mario party or mario kart when it comes out or mario and sonic at the olympics overall i think the better buy would be wii i have one and i enjoy the way the controller is and lots of stuff that 360 doesn't have the awesome stuff that wii has. but ps3 has graphics bluray vids and alot of stuff i think it would be better than a 360 a little more expensive in the end your probably going to wish you would have got a ps3 if you get a 360. anyways if you wanted to sell it on ebay you could get alot of money out of that thing!

Actually the 360 has superior online play. The Wii's online is pretty much lame and unreliable. Hopefully that'll change once WiiWare is available.

Anyway i would get whichever system interests you the most like who has the most interesting games and which of their online connectivity is the best for you. Just remeber that both system will have the same graphics and most of the third party games will also end up on each system.

I myself have a PS3 and loving each and every minute of it. Couldn't go with a 360 as i don't want to pay for online and afraid of getting the dreaded RROD.

here's something thta might help the Ps3. i have one. no just kidding. ok, here the real reasons.

360}
Pro's:
*Halo and GoW1 and 2 is coming soon.
*Great online arcade.
*The internet compatability it already has will make any online junkie happy 4ever.
*can play Hi-Def movies.

Con's:
*Stupid point system to make people feel better and brag.
*Sometimes files of Halo and etc will be switched due to some glitch.
*You have to pay for Xbox Live while you can plug and internet chord into the PS3 and get free internet through your computer.
*Movie stores like wal-mart and etc will stop selling Hi-Def movies because the Blue-Ray looks sharper and has better picture. (CONFIRMED AND NOT A MYTH)
