If you have both consoles, the games you listed are really all the 360 has to offer. I strongly suggest you do not buy it as you will only end up being disappointed. You don't seem to be the online shooter kind of person... I'm not bashing the 360 here as those are great games and it is a half decent console, but you're going to end up wasting money. There is no reason to have both consoles if you own a ps3, there is only a reason to buy a ps3 if you only have a 360.

360 exclusives are nothing to speak of, and unless you care about a slightly better multi platform game.. well, there's no point in owning one. The question you're asking is..

Is halo 3, the gears series, Forza and basically non noticeable graphics enhancement worth 457$? Because there's nothing coming out for the 360 the ps3 doesn't beat. Besides Alan Wake, that's all I have a 360 for because Microsoft paid the devs to keep it off PC. It's a sin really.

Look at the exclusives, that is what makes the decision. XBL is in no way shape or form better than PSN when it comes to the online experience of similar games. You will never lag on either, and there's a hell of a lot less 12 year old boys on PSN.

If the following games interest you, get a 360, but just understand that this is all the system has to offer.

Halo 3
Gears 1/2
Forza 2 & 3
Alan Wake
Splinter Cell: Conviction (better on pc)
Fable 2 (I highly doubt anyone would want a console for this, LAIR is a better game, and LAIR is crap.)

Some pretty amazing games.. especially Alan wake, splinter cell and the gears series.
however, ignoring Alan Wake
Splinter Cell is nothing compared to MGS
Fable 2 is nothing compared to Demon Soul's
Forza 3 could be great, but it will most certainly not be as good as Gran Turismo 5, and even if it's an equal, there's no reason to have 2 car games..
Gears 1/2 are great, I love them very much, but you look like an uncharted fan from your sig.. Uncharted does pretty much everything gears does but better. Uncharted 2 will be game of the year for sure.
Halo 3 is the only game there that has an undeniably better experience than the ps3 does, the online shooter bit. But Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 are very close, and even then, COD4/MW2 are better than all of them.

As for XBL titles, the only 2 XBL titles to make XBL better than PSN are braid and castle crashers, both of which are coming to PSN. This now makes PSN vastly superior to XBL when it comes to titles as it has the best XBL ones + all the best PSN ones so..

It's up to you, but don't let 4 games make you buy a console. I loathe every day I see my 360 and the only time I'm going to like it is when I get Alan Wake.

Heck PC has a better casual market than XBL does, did you see the steam deal? GET THAT.

Rofl. Rabid PS3 fanboy is mad somebody's interested in a 360.
