if you look at 360 for 299 .00 you get 60gighd , and thats about it, oh a couple games i could care less about, no on ps3, now first i want to say i own both systems so i know what im talking about, but with ps3 2009 will be superb they already have great exclusived like killzone resistance and many others, for 399.00 you get 80gighd, a blueray player, free online, web browser, true 1080p with blueray, controllers that charge themselves, also the system is wifi ready you dont have to spend another 100 .00 alone on that. the ps3 is FASTER on hardcore gameplay when 360 slows down the ps3 does not, 2009 will be superb, add up the 360 with the features ps3 gives you out of box, your looking at about550.oo with no blueray and web browser and others.
