I had both a PS3 and 360... and ended up keeping the PS3... mine has full PS1/PS2 B/W compatibility, I love that I can pop movies on its HDD to watch, an option for linux to mess around with, free online multi-player, wireless included and rechargeable controller.

I would go for xbox 360, because less lag in the online thing (I never experienced any sort of lag), and I like the games etc.

Re: PS3 vs Xbox 360
I know this is not in the crossfire spirit, but I like to simplify it down to better games, or better console. I don't want to pick holes, find minor flaws. In general, the PS3 is a better console, and the Xbox 360 has the most popular, and largest quantity of games. Also, the DOA rate and worse parts of the Xbox 360 does make me turn my head. Anyway, it very much depends on what the game is demanding of the console, because the PS3 will not make one of it's worse games fly, or will the Xbox make one of it's best games run smoothly. Of coarse, it all depends on what you want out of a console, but my vote is with the PS3, which I believe has a much better gaming experience, with it's limited games
PS: Since it is a matter of preference, a poll would have been great here...

Ps3 all the way of course.
PS3 looks so much sleeker too, lol
360 is anorexic and faints a lot. lol
If you look at the games out now/this fall, it is pretty much even right now. But i would have to give the edge to the PS3.
I think there are more RPGs on the 360 right now. But that will change in a year or so.

meh, i'd rather pay for my online than have something free but worse. my friend has played games on the ps3 and said that the multiplayer community was just horrible, much worse than xbox. also, i've read that you have to go out to the xmb to view your friendslist. that is just absurd if that's still how they have it today. The online experience is just more streamlined and organized on the 360 than the ps3 imo, and with the new _exprience_ coming this 19th, it's gonna get better with netflix streaming and more.
For games that are on both the 360 and the xbox, the xbox wins hands down. The Orange Box for the PS3 has serious frame rate problems, Rainbow Six Vegas is buggy on PS3 whereas it's great on the xbox. On the other hand though, another friend says he prefers cod4 on the ps3, but never said why.
sure, the playstation has blu-ray, but on the other hand, if blu-ray lost the hd battle, and hd-dvd won, then the playstation would be useless for movies. also, to date, no developer has taken full advantage of the hardware on the ps3 and occasionally, they take longer to develop on the ps3 than the xbox, although as time goes on, developing times reduce... (the only exception is ff13, since they developed on the ps3 and are porting it to the xbox.
w/e, there's what i'm saying. and btw, xbox for me

so if one for your friends says they prefer a game on ps3, you say they didnt say why. But when one of ur friends says ps3 is multiplayer comunity was "just horrible, much wrose than xbox" they/you don't/didn't provide a "why"? You agree to it?
For games on the PS3, PS2, the PS wins hands down
Orange Box had problem because EA was the one that ported it and they were terrible at programing for PS3. But now they are getting better. ie Mirror's Edge

oops, typo xD. meant to say 360 and ps3
my friend that didn't like the playstation community didn't like it because he said that the people he was playing with were very disrespectful and immature, and just loud-mouths in general. it could have been a select instance, but he said he was playing it for a few hours.
when it comes down to it though, a large part of it comes down to the games selection.
playstation recently came out with resistance 2 and little big planet, while xbox just came out with Gears of War 2, which is speculated to have a third, fable 2 (well, not a great example
) and banjo-kazooieif you've got the money though, as far as fps's go, pc wins hands down. cod is much better on the pc than it's console counterparts, as are many of other games. included are free maps (if there's a demand for it), patches, etc. it's just dominant for gaming.

Mirror's Edge was completely developed by DICE. Little to no involvement from EA except from money. EA are still a terrible publisher.
That sounds more to me like the 360 community...
Edit:
Ya, but i was just giving an example, lol. but they are getting better at dev. for ps3.

It should as people hardly have mics let alone talk on PSN.
It still doesn't look better than the 360 version.
I NEVER said it looked better than the 360 version
I said they are GETTING better at DEV-ING on the PS3...
Console wars are always crazy, and the fact is, it's all opinion. I <3 my Wii yet a lot of people think it's a kiddy system and is going nowhere. I think Playstation is worth every penny, 360 is great for hardcore gamers and FPS lovers. I think every system is unique in its own way.
