360
Better price, better games (and more games), better online, better controller (smaller than originial Xbox), better reverse compatibility, better all round.

360. Much more games, much cheaper, really will get all games the PS3 gets that aren't named Final Fantasy.

Both systems are epic fail...
Microsoft's refund policy and customer service are 100% garbage.
Sony is charging way too much for a buggy, half-finished blu-ray player that plays mostly mediocre games.
Get a Wii and play Super Paper Mario. There's your next generation console win right there.
If I wanted an HD DVD player, I'd go get one. If I wanted a Blu-ray player, I'd get one. But I don't. I want good, solid, innovative gaming, and the 360/PS3, is the same old shit, just a different (and let's not forget more expensive) console.

I'd go with the 360. It just seems like the all round better deal right now compared to PS3. I've had mine for a year now and enjoy it very much.
I wouldn't mind getting a Wii in the near future though to go along with it.

Cool perspective man, especially about the 360. I'm curious to why you think HD DVD is going down the can though? First I'd heard. Blu-Ray is flat out more capable (it holds 25 gigs vs. HD-DVD's 15 gigs), has far more support amongst studios (don't quote me, but Universal is the only HD-DVD exclusive studio and is letting the contract expire and has Blu-Ray discs announced. Also, major players like Disney/Pixar are Blu-Ray exclusive), allows for 1080p (HD-DVD doesn't), and is currently leading sales in some ridiculous number like 3:1. A lot of jump in the sales of Blu-Ray is directly related to the PS3, but HD-DVD is slowly showing signs of death. Prices are being rumored to be cut dramatically, which is good for the consumer, but the device is already being sold at a lost for the producer. As mentioned above, most support is for both or Blu-Ray exclusively, so there's no advantage in owning HD-DVD. As much as people want to say Porn will decide this contest, it's a different game than it was in the 80s. Basically, if Microsoft wasn't backing HD-DVD and covering the losses it's posting (which is what its rumored as doing for Hitatchi), there'd likely be no discussion. Actually, on the porn statement, even the porn industry is starting to go Blu-Ray instead of HD-DVD.

Nope, Square-Enix made an official statement recently, that FF13 and everything else in the FF13 series(which is basically all the Final Fantasy games this generation, besides the Crystal Chronicle games), is not coming to the 360.
In fact, Square-Enix said that while they are making the next Crystal Chronicles on the Wii, any future Final Fantasy games on the 360 are a blank page right now.
In other words, the fanboys can stop dreaming now. Of course now we just have to wait for Hideo Kojima to come out and say that officially, once and for all, MGS4 is PS3 exclusive. I just want the fanboys to shut up.

Yeah cause Xbox's lineup will be so horrible with one game that's worn out it's welcome 2 gens ago and the other which is more of a movie than a game, but that's my opinion.

VHS marked the first time people didn't have to go to theatres to watch their favorite "adult cinematic classics". With DVD so widely adopted, internet being a cornucopia of debauchery, and there being such little need to see genital warts in High Definition, the whole "pron weel wen da HD-DVD" argument is pointless.

All the Xbox 360 fanboys(and girls) have been for the past year and a half praying that Final Fantasy 13 and Metal Gear Solid 4 would go to the 360 as well, because in their logic, those are the only two games that will get people to buy a PS3. And, truth be told, that is somewhat true. Several people, if not hundreds of thousands of people, are waiting until MGS4 comes out to get a PS3.

Kojima has a rather large ego and said ego took a large hit when MGS2 sold abysmally on the X-Box. Considering the game is nearly entirely designed with the PS3 in mind (and the Blu-Ray disc format) and the history of dealing with MS, that's why MGS4 doesn't appear on 360.
And, yes, I'd buy a PS3 just for MGS4. I'd much rather play a game that's a bunch of movies with a compelling storyline and unique gameplay than a generic FPS that switches out space villains and catchy names (like Halo or Gears of War or Generic X-Box Shooter 2,985).

Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction WarHawk Lair Heavenly Sword Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots Uncharted: Drakes Fortune(graphically, this is the best looking game of the entire year) Assassin's Creed Grand Theft Auto IV Unreal Tournament 3 John Woo Present's Stanglehold 360's fall lineup is: Halo 3 Assassin's Creed BioShock Lost Odyssey Mass Effect Grand Theft Auto IV Unreal Tournament 3 Mass Effect is going to own any of those PS3 games. Nice that you dont bother to mention Stranglehold for the 360. Keep drinking that PS koolaid. Your throwing around the fanboy word is a failed attempt to cover your biased opinion.

Nice that you dont bother to mention Stranglehold for the 360. Keep drinking that PS koolaid. Your throwing around the fanboy word is a failed attempt to cover your biased opinion. You butchered my list, and twisted my words to make a new meaning. In my original list, I put Stranglehold as another PS3 title to come out, and then in parenthesis, I put PS3 VERSION(meaning there would be other versions). People who twist and turn other's words are the real fanboys. Besides I have all 3 systems, and know the strengths and weaknesses of all 3. If I was a fanboy, would I say the 360 is the better choice to get right now? Also, to further prove you're the fanboy here, your opening line alone reaks of fanboyness. "Mass Effect is going to own any of those PS3 games." Yeah...THAT isn't a biased statement right there. How do you know it will "own" them? Is it just because they are on the PS3 that they are inferior, and all 360 games rule? Granted I love BioWare, and am excited for Mass Effect as well, but you can't say it will flatout "own" all the opponent's products. It will be hardpressed to beat Metal Gear Solid 4. It will be a close race, but neither side will "own" the other. All you did with your post was make yourself look like an ass infront of everyone.
