ok for 499 99 you can get a premium 360 which comes with 2 games, a 20GB hard drive, wireless controller, xbox live arcade, and hd hookups. for 549 99 you get a ps3, a WIRED ps3 controller, no games, no hookups for HDMI, and 20GB harddrive. ps3 and 360 practically have the same graphics, no differences, i'd go with the 360. these are canadian prices by the way.

The playstation 3 isn't gonna be that much better than the 360 and for 200 dollars extra it isn't worth it. Even if you HAVE to have a HD video player the HD-DVD format will probably beat out blu-ray just because it has DVD in it. The playstation 3 will probably be able to have longer games but its not like you can't have extremely long games on the 360 as it is.

Personally I'd go wii60 and get a wii and a 360.

honestly i didnt think having a wireless controller was anything special until i got my 360 and holy shit its so nice. playing with a wired controller just feels wierd now. its not a huge deal but it is really nice to have especially with how good the wireless technology is on the controllers, nothing like those old cheapo ones. im pretty sure the 360 controllers use bluetooth.

I know what you mean about the wireless controllers. I got the core system though (got it on launch night, it was all they had left) and I used the wired one for a while. Then I got the wireless and its soooo nice.
The 360 controllers aren't bluetooth though. They use a connection similar to wireless internet and wireless mice that use a USB (non bluetooth) dongle.

You'll be happy with whatever you buy. Choose based on the games and what controllers you like. Graphics vary by game and both systems are good in most respects.

i'd get a wii, but with your options: 360. ps3 is full of shit that no one knows what to do with.

ps3 is gonna be better. the graphics are already as good as the 360 and once they figure it out the graphics are gonna be sooooo better. the games can be bigger, playstation games are always better than xbox anyway, halo is way overrated. playstation controlers are alot better. everything about the ps3 is better. just wait a couple months so its not so expensive.

360 controllers are more ergonomic then PS3 controllers, plus Xbox360 has better game titles coming out IMO.

i had a 360 and it was really neat but the dang thing broke on me so now I am buying a PS3 once I can find one. I can't wait for the free online play. I was also gonna get a wii but then I looked at the graphics and thought about the actual system and it isn't that appealing to me although it is a real cool concept. go with the xbox360 if you want to save some money and if you really don't play much online, but it might break down after about a few months.

xbox live is actaully better than ps3 online so if you want to go online pick xbox 360. . . .Its like what 50 for a entire year, thats not alot of money. Ps3 online is the same as PS2, which anybody will tell you sucked. I was the biggest ps2 fan and even played online games with it. . .SOCOM but i knew xbox live was better back on xbox1 and its still better on xbox 360. Another thing, most exclusive playstation have been moving over to xbox as well. all playstation really has going for it at this point is metal gear solid and final fantasy. Most AAA games are launching on both systems from day 1, Grand theft auto 4 for example. http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/games/archives/2006/12/07/ps3_vs_xbox_360_a_developer_speaks.html that link will take you a a developer who talks about the differences between ps3 and xbox. . .its the same system gfx wise. oh btw, blu ray is losing to hd-dvd. www.thedvdwars.com so all the blu rays fanboys cant go someplace. LOL.

never ps3. seriously youd be wasting money. 360 has just as good graphics once you buy the HD cords. i just got them and my freind just got a ps3, and i seriously think the gameplay on my 360 is so much better/ plus games on ps3 are 60 compared to 50 on 360. and like they said. HALO 3 will own you
