Like Japanese style games - PS3also Xbox nickel and dimes you to get it up to the standard of the PS3, gotta pay extra for wireless pads, rechargeable pads, hard drives, wifi networking etc

Ive had both since launch, it all comes down to which systems exclusive you're more interested in.
Personally I used the PS3 a lot more, in part due to bluray, but there's a ton of great games on it. And now with it being just $300, cant go wrong with it.

I would like to have both but I have an xbox. I only play COD though. I only believe what I read in the New York Post.

my vote goes to the XBOX360;
better Netflix experience, XBOX Live, shit load of games/accessories, Much much cheaper and more multi play. i have one in the bedroom, living room attached to a media server for all my movies and i got one in my office but thats more for gaming during lunch et al.

The consoles themselves never get me excited to buy them. it's usually a game I want to play. And it's always an exclusive game that gets me to buy the console. I originally bought a 360 because I needed to play Oblivion. And I bought a PS3 for the God of Wars (Resident Evil games by this time had stopped being PS exclusives). And I know I'll always need any Nintendo system as long as they keep making Zelda games. Everything else just gets divvied up accordingly. PS3 bluRay is lovely to have tho. Shit... I bought a DreamCast to play Code Veronica! I'm a sucker.

just remember if you buy an xbox you'll be paying for xbox live
- only if you want to play online games. it's not mandatory.dopepope

I bought an 80 GB launch PS3 in '06. Played it regularly for hours at a time. It finally got the YLOD about a month ago. I didn't want to try and fix it myself so I sent it to gophermods.com. $103 and 5 days later, it was back in my living room working fine. Sony charges more and takes much longer to fix PS3's.
I would recommend a PS3 (yes, BluRay is awesome) and Gophermods if it ever craps out.

Xbox360 all the way. Although, PS3 does have Mortal Kombat II.

both systems have virtually identical game libraries with a few system exclusives, so that's really not an issues.
I think an xbox360 is probably the wiser investment right now—especially for the online—unless you have a want and/or need for blu-ray on the ps3 which does come with a heftier pricetag.
So practically speaking:
xbox360 = online juggernaut
ps3 = multimedia outlet not totally devoid of online capabilities

Go into a shop and take a look at the games that are out for each platform. Go with the one which has the games which you would like to play.
In terms of graphics and cpu bullshit - they are pretty much on par with each other.
The PS3 has a built in Blu-Ray player so if you would like to be using Blu-Ray's factor this in too. The PS3 has free online gaming, but with the 360 you need to subscribe to XBox Live if you want to play games co-operatively or online.
The XBox360 has a huuuge game catalogue and can play XBox original games. The PS3 cannot play PS2 games. This may or may not worry you.

i think you mean xbox 360, which is PS3's direct competition.
