And i can't decide, get a 360 or a PS3.  They both have sick games,. but i hate how the 360 makes you buy that 90 dollar shit to get wireless on live.

I'm getting a PS3. Mainly because I'm a Playstation guy, but I think it's just a better controller layout, and they have socom, and I'm not a fan of x-box's paying for "live" deal or whatever you just said.

the PS3 is just now comming up to rising. A bunch of good games are due for it and online gaming is free. Itll be worth it in the end to get the PS3

ps3 for sure. i love the layout of it and with the blueray its good too. free live is a bonus too. the only game for 360 thats worth buying is halo anyways...all the other games you can get for ps3 too. and warhawk is epic and comes with a free bluetooth headset

you can buy a wireless thing for 60 on ebay.
360 is not as good of a system, but live is much better and xbox has the best games by far

get a 360, halo and call of duty 4 own. call of duty 4 is so much better, yeah you have to pay for online but its only like not even 5 bucks a month, plus the service and everything is good. so many more people have it too so you can play with your friends and stuff. the controller is also better for shooters

ps3 will be around longer.   they still make games for the ps2 unlike the xbox, microsoft doesn't release any games for it.  they have totally shifted towards the 360.

The ps3's game selections is shit compared to the 360's. You can't go wrong with a 360.

I went with the 360, mainly for Halo 3 but I also had a xbox before that and have something like 30 games for that. I love it. Never tried the PS3 tho and most of my buddies have live on 360. I'd go 360.

PS Call of Duty 4 has blown my mind it's soo amazing.

All the kids in here will keep telling you to buy whatever it is THEY bought... apparently more of them bought the 360 than the PS3. I sort of agree with the person who said "spend it on something moderately productive rather than something that'll waste all your time."

Not everyone thinks playing a video game is a waste of time.

I would get an xbox 360 because the games are so much better. If you're really into movies I might go ps3, but the 360 is still probably better.

the blu-ray dvd feature on the PS3 swayed it enough for me to get that.  the games are good on both, jsut a different selection, but i play mostly sports and tom clancy games so i was totally fine with PS3.  to be honest i haven't used the 360 a lot, but i know i hate the microsoft corporation.

I just sold my wii and bought a 360, siny is still making ps2 games and they're gona release a new ps2. O want a platform they developers are focusing on now. $50 a year for xbox live isn't that much. butttttttttt Time Crisis 4 is comming out with a new guncom which will be sick. That game alone is amost worth a ps3. But most of my friedns have 360's so xbox live is more fun.

most of the games people are listing for 360 are also on ps3 just with better hd graphics...call of duty 4 is for ps3 and omg if you havent played rainboq six vegas than you cant say call of duty 4 is better.
