Seeing as I dont care about slight framerate differences or tiny differences in graphics, that does not really matter, but obviously if it is major, that would lead me towards the better one

However, I have not really had to make that choice yet, though I think that achievements will lead me to getting more Xbox games, and indeed I chose to get AC, on sale, for Xbox 360 because of the achievements (though I have noticed that it seems to have more technical issues on 360 than when I played it through on PS3.

I think trophies will be less important than acheivements for me until they are more widespread, but for now, they are the major turning point.

Other than that, the other main consideration in multiplayer, and any with MP that I will play online I will get on PS3, because I have no interest in paying for Live

Stuff like the controlers do not make much difference, but I am sure once trophies are more widespread I will have to look at stuff like that

EDIT: forgot about extra content, but the rumours of Kratos on the PS3 SC IV are making me get that version, even though they have been shown to be false. As for others, unless it is something major it wont be a more important than achievements

I tend to get multiplatform games on the Xbox360 as a standard. People say getting up to change a disk is a hassle, I say its a bigger hassle to get up and change tv cords all the time. Only one HDMI cable, one HDMI slot and two consoles.

But generally, the Xbox360 version has better framerates - See Grid/GTAIV for examples, and if it has a higher AA mode it just indicates that it runs better because the developer could include it and still hit framerate, and I hate jaggies... and I also hate low resolution upscale for games but I still download and watch Amercian TV on the same 53" so I dunno im strange I guess.

Of course if theres a PC version I ALWAYS get that, playing games on a 53" tv with my 360 controller at 1080p at 30-60fps is awesome.

Simple.

I Purchase Fighting Games on PS3 (Love the controller for fighting games)

I purchase Everything Else on 360 (everything else is better on the 360)

@ sqilliam, why do you not use the component cable of the 360?

If I had to get up and change the wires I would agree, but I bought one of those gizmos you plug all your devices into, and t has a remote to change your inputs. Boy I am lazy...

Lol, maybe I should get one of those! xD

Mirror's Edge will be the first game I have to make this decision for. Unless the 360 is noticeably better, I'll get it on the PS3. The only reason, I have to share the same connection to the tele b/w my 360 and Cable, since my 360 doesn't have HDMI, so I have to unplug the cable and plug in the 360 to play it, then switch it back when I'm done. PS3 I don't have to do that, so it's a little more convenient to pick up and play.

It's funny how many wacky factors can affect your purchase. Does Mirror's Edge have online play?
