I have faith that people are not as stupid as dirt. Nobody is going to look at the Xbox360 and PS3 selling at the same price and buy the Xbox360.

You know what. If I had neither the Ps3 or the Xbox 360. And if they were the same pricepoint. I would buy the Xbox 360 in an instance

Why?

I have both now.  I just bought the 360 and now have "all three consoles".

The live experience is greatly exagerated.  yes it is nice, but it isn't all that much better than the ps3's online service, but to keep it you need to pay $50/year. it's a bit ridiculous for such a basic service.  But i'm using the free 1 month gold service right now, i'm not sure exactly what i'll be left with when that runs out.

 

But the xbox360 is huge and ugly.  The wirelss requires a dongle.  And what is up with the Xbox360 controlers?  they are *TERRIBLE*.  They are a little on the big side.. i can live with that.. but their "D-Pad", well, it is UNUSABLE.  And the stick? very inaccurate!  When playing pac man CE the controler is the reason i die at last 70% of the time.  Maybe it takes getting used to, but holy crap it's really quite inaccurate compared to both the ps3 controler and the gamecube controlers (and the classic controlers for the wii).
