i disagree. The PSN is by far superior to XBL. You dont have to pay monthly for it, unless you upgrade to a premium, which is still cheaper than XBL for a subscription. i am a dedicated gamer and the 360 is waaaay more casual than the PS3. Check out Demons Souls if you have a ps3...hardcore action/rpg right there. the blu-ray and all the awesome media features are really handy. as well as streaming netflicks is tight

both are good consoles...but you get more bang for your buck with the PS3

I have had several games on both consoles and my exp. I always get a bit more lag on my Ps3.I disagree with the fact that xbox is way more casual.I guess it just depends on what games u end up in.Having said that I have fun on both consoles and im currently playing KZ3 on my PS3.

yeah i see your point. there are a lot of different variables like your choice of games and such that ultimately decide which console someone would buy. KZ3 is amazing though! KZ3=Winning

Since you're buying one now, I voted for PS3. I had one of the first gen or whatever they were called and I suffered the blinking red light of death and of course Sony didn't really give a ****. That seems to be typical of most anything we buy today. We sent it to someone who could fix them, and they did, and in 3 months it was dead again. We haven't had the new one long enough for me to tell you it's better but so far so good. I know Xbox had their own version of some kind of death but just the fact that it's a microsoft product is good enough reason for me to avoid it and their monopoly.
My guess would be that you'll be happy with either one but now that games are "exclusive" it's worth looking into games coming in the near future and chances are there will be an awesome game coming out that isn't on whichever console you choose.
