PS3. Killer library of games, better tech that continues to be pushed, (Uncharted 2!), free online, internet browser, Blu-Ray movies, bigger and waayy more cost effective hard-drive storage, built-in wi-fi, and it comes bundled with the Sony exclusive, "working console".

 

 He's right. Buy a PS3.

The Xbox 360 has more AAA titles even without the PC.

 



Tease.

 I don't know about that. The 360 is the worst made console of all-time though. Complete engineering and QA incompatence. Has that been covered before?

I won't have my PS3 by then as I'll be selling very soon, the PS3 is a huge let down for me and none of my friends own a PS3 as they all have 360's, i'll be sticking with my 360 as it gives me much more enjoyment and offers me a lot more than the PS3 ever could, I hate blu ray so don't give a cr*p about that either (£25 a film for new releases on blu ray in the uk when i can just download and stream hd films to the 360 from torrent sites for free lol),

 

It's very nice of you to try and stick up for the PS3 but you don't have to talk rubbish in doing so, the 360 has more AAA games now and will continue to do so well into the future, lots of 360 games will be shown at this years E3 and will prove what a superb lineup the 360 has over the PS3 this year, most PS3 games do very poorly in sales terms hence many developers are expected to go to other platforms (360/Wii etc) which bring in more profits,

Most the PS3 games you mentioned don't even have a release date yet and at least three of them won't be out till next year,

 



Games wise, both systems share like 90% of the same 3rd party games, so I´d go with the console that has 1st/2nd party titles that are more appealing.



You know, a shooter fanboy could come on here and say that console X is better than console Y because it has lots of good shooters. If you don't like shooters, he's not helping you.

So...look at the lists. Seriously. Here, I'll even help you.

http://www.metacritic.com/games/xbox360/scores/

Because you are the only one who knows which console you would prefer. Seriously. I have no idea if you prefer Halo to Killzone, or Ratchet and Clank to Banjo-Kazooie, or Uncharted to Gears of War (random comparison, I know)

I would of course advise that you get a PS3, because it's +1 to PS3 sales, more money to Sony, and I suppose, another person to play online with. But this is coming from a huge Sony fan, so can you take my opinion as fair and unbiased?

If you can, go ahead, buy a PS3 right now. If not, look at those lists. Ignore the arbitrary numbers. It doesn't matter whether one console has more 90+ titles than the other, because chances are you won't like all of those. Look at the games rated 80+, and see which ones appeal to you.

I'm glad you've found a console that suits your tastes.

I personally prefer the PS3, which is why I bought it. I prefer the game library. Which is why I bought it. Metacritic isn't going to tell me that a console I didn't choose has better games than a console I did choose. Four 360 exclusives (Gears 1+2, Halo 3, Fable II) appeal to be, while several more PS3 exclusives do, if only because I owned a PS1, PS2 and PSP.

It all depends on taste, which is what I'm trying to tell the OP.
