Really depends. The PS3 i wouldnt consider just a gaming console, but a multimedia powerhouse. It can play blu-ray, download movies, play music in background of games. Not to mention it has free online, wifi, and a 80GB harddrive. Still, its high priced and there not a whole lot of games out there yet, but pretty soon an investment on the ps3 will turn out to be gr8 bcus many of the best ps3 games will come out in the next year.

The 360 has developed to be a very good console. Controller feels nice, xbox live is a gr8 online experience, and it has plenty of games. It lacks wi-fi, and blu-ray, but I find buying a 50ft ethernet for weired internet cord can make up for it :P. Plus, you can go to amazon and buy 13 months of xbox live gold for $40. Newer models wont be prone to RRoD becus the jasperunits should start to roll in in all versions (arcade 100% confirmed, pro model has shown up but still uses falcon)

Now for the games, 360 has tons of shooters and RPGS. It u prefer those, buy the 360. Halo 3, GoW2, Left 4 Dead, Cod:WaW and Cod4. Plus RPGS include Fable 2, Fallout 3, Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Last REmnant, Star Ocean, Tales of Vesperia.

For the PS3, its more action based including MGS4, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, Motorstorm, LBP but still have some nice exclusive shooters including Resistance 2 and the upcoming KillZone 2.

My advice: 360 is strictly for gaming. Xbox live has achievements for playing your games and not to mention its cheaper too. More people play it online so you have plenty of friends to buddy up and create parties. The PS3 is more of a multimedia but more of the best ps3 games can live up to the single player experience. I'd go for the 360 mainly bcus its well developed and u have plenty of choices. The PS3 is getting there but u may end up finding it less playful and more of a entertainment center. If u go for the pro, u save $100 and use that u pick up live + a extra game.



Above I'm a proud Gran Turismo fan, not a Sony fanboy, and now a proud 360 owner, but sharing xbox live accts ATM

End of 2009 Predictions (made Jan 1, 2009): My predictions were pretty accurate, the 360 was over and the Wii was just under.

End of 2010 Predictions (made Jan 7, 2010):
