If you like FPS and TPS, you are set with the 360 and its exclusives/multiplats. Nothing beats Halo 3, Gears of War 1&2, and CoD series when it comes to the shooter genre.

Unless you have a real need for a blu-ray player and really want some of the PS3 exclusives, I wouldn't recommend the purchase.

true. except for maybe Killzone, Warhawk, Resistance series and MGS4. But fair comment.

Warhawk isn't really a shooter.  It's more focused on air/flight sim combat.  Killzone 2, Resistance, and MGS4 are all good games, but I just don't feel the OP would be making a wise investment for those 3 games when he already has great alternatives.  I also wouldn't consider MG Online to be a good choice for the OP.  Killzone 2 and Resistance online is pretty good, though.

Since he loves shooters and online play, I think he'd be best off just keeping to his 360 and using that money for something else.

It is true that PS3 shooters use servers, which is better when it comes to lag/host advantage, but that is a per game decision.  If MS wanted dedicated servers for a game, they could easily be done.  They just aren't practical in most instances where player count is 16 or less.  Higher than 16 definitely benefits a great deal from dedicated servers, though.

 

Those are all really good reasons why the OP should consider the PS3.

And Warhawk is an excellent third person shooter/driving/flying game! i'm a tank master in that game!
