as others have said - if you want a Blu-Ray player as part of the box, get PS3.

Otherwise, xBox360 (and get the kinect too, it's damn good!)

PS3 graphics look better, its cheaper in the long run if your going to play online, and it comes with a blue-ray. true story.

Actually in most graphics tests the Xbox360 comes out on top of the PS3 in almost all games...although only slightly.

And yeah its cheaper online but you get what you pay for, XBL is worth every penny if you want to play alot online

PC - Because I can utilise the power of either the keyboard/mouse, a 360 controller, or a PS3 controller. Now THAT is power to the user.

Indeed. Although the PS3 has more potential in theory (because you can fit more data on a blu ray disc and it has more processing power), as I said in my original post programmers find it easier to code for the XBox, so they can get slightly better graphic effects to work on the XBox than they can on the PS3 atm.

Sending in the xbox for its second set of repairs within the last month. Out another 3 weeks from playing games. What a perfect time to be without a job :/

the graphics argument is irrelevent. They are practically no different.

Aside, what i wanted to post was that the PSN network has been down for like 5 days now!

Basically, they got hacked, so they took the whole system down. They did a whole heap of checks, and now they are rebuilding the system.

I reckon its gonna be down for like another 4-5 days before its up again. Anyone wanna place bets? :D

This will fuel the console debate even more.

Sony has warned users of its PlayStation Network that their personal information, including credit card details, may have been stolen.

Good job

\o/ that bot post actually made hilarious sense.

Even the robots hate PS3s, now that they have developed sarcasm.

PS3 is the real deal. If you want hardcore games and gaming to the extreme.
Xbox 360 is what more arcade mainstream gamer.
PS3 developers make great games too.

I cant help but feel that all these new users with numbers in the name are bots.
But on the offchance that you're 15/16 years old and called janemurray and your first post is in the general section of forums about ps3/xbox ...

PS3 is the real deal.

If you want hardcore games

Halo springs to mind. Most of the best games are on both systems anyway. Also the added content for the biggest games come out on xbox first.

and gaming to the extreme.

I've always thought the opposite. Xbox live > PSN and the consoles are fairly similar. Most people agree with that but say because PSN is free its better as the difference in quality isnt significant.

Xbox 360 is what more arcade mainstream gamer.

Xbox 360 and PS3 are both mainstream. PC is where the hardcore gamers usually lie.

PS3 developers make great games too.

I did want to get that heavy rain and was dissapointed when it was ps3 only. But both make good games.
