My gaming habits skew heavily towards the 360 for 2 major reasons.  A larger library and budget games.  Almost half (10 of the 23) were purchased for less then $25.  5 of those 10 were under $15 and some even less.  Oddly in the case of the PS3 I've purchased about 7-8 PS2 games since buying the system.  It's mostly used for PS2 games and BD movies.
