I've got a HD TV now and I am thinking about getting myself either an Xbox 360 or the Playstation 3.Been playing Playstation 2 for years and love the controls,but it seems that the new Playstation 3 is much more expensive than the Xbox 360.Why is that and which one's better?

well to put it simple the ps3 is a lot better once it reaches its full potental but that probobly wont happen till atleast a year and there are no games good games out for the ps3 yet even games out on the xbox wont be out on ps3 till atleast christmas, however ps3 has built in blue ray drive and bluebooth which the 360 doesnt. Xbox 360's live feature is unbeatable if u want to go online n play with other people, watch movies, etc. no other system is as good as xbox. It also has many good games out such as gears of war, guitar hero 2, and dirt. basically if you want a gaming experience now get the 360 but if ur willing to stare at a game console for a year then get the ps3. I am a long time sony fan but i have to say the xbox wins hands down for now.

The PS3 is more expensive because it has better hardware and plays Blu-Ray. Blu-Ray is supposed to be the next DVD but I doubt it. Even though the PS3 has more potential for better graphics, it still has yet to outshine the 360. I would personally go with the 360. The controller is much improved and handles better then the PS3 controller. Oh, and the PS3 controller has no rumble for some reason? Stupid to take it out.
Anyways, not only this, but the 360 also has much, much, much better games out right now. PS3 fanboys can deny it, but its true. PS3 has Motorstorm and Resistance: Fall of Man. All its other good games are also for the 360 and sometimes even the Wii. Oh, and guess what? They look AND run smoother on the 360. Funny, since the hardware isn't as good.
Pretty much the only exclusive game franchises left for the PS3, that Microsoft hasn't bought, is Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy. If you like an abundance of RPGs however, let me warn you that the 360 won't have many. The kind of RPGs that they will have are more americanized ones. Like the Elderscrolls IV: Oblivion and Mass Effect. Which, I think is better then Final Fantasy. If you like sports, shooting, action, and racing games then the 360 has those flying out of its @$$. Not to mention it gets great music games like Guitar Hero and the upcoming Rock Band.
Right now, the 360 is the prime choice. More affordable with better games coming out right now AND in the future. The PS3 needs to get itself out of the grave its dug itself soon. Hopefully Metal Gear Solid 4 can change that. If it seems like I'm a little too positive about the 360, then there is one thing, they have a habbit of "breaking". They heat up easy and the cheaply made motherboard gets fried. Fortunately, for you, there was a price drop of the 360 from $399 to $349. These new price dropped models (along with the black xbox 360 elite) sport better, cooler, chipsets. This means no more overheating for your 360. So no worries. The 360s are fixed and running fine. Now, go out and buy one!

I got a 360 and its great except it broke twice in 2 months but it was after one year, and microsoft said they would pay for all the expenses which is great except i prepaid my live but they give you one month free of live, which is great, but it is my summer and i can't enjoy the 360, but oh well, i heard the ps3 is breaking down too but dunno. but i am always a 360 fan because the games r some what better, the 360 games are more for adults, like gears of war, lots of blood and shooting, halo eh, it has a gerat story and i saw the online play, seems really good, and end war of course is gonna be great, and than there is GTA 4 so a lot of good games coming out soon, but the 360 is only worth it if you get live, which i recommend, not too many kids on it, but if there are, its annoying, and you can tell they are kids because the microphone has the voice changer and there voice sounds all high like a girl lol, so 360

There are many differences between the Xbox 360 and the PS3. Go to both Microsoft and Sony's website and compare the differences.

ps3 is better hands down unless you care about prices...the only reason 360 could be better is that the videogames are a lot harder to make becasue of the new blue ray technology
PS3
