Don't bother getting the steering wheel that's made by MS. It's been reported to catch on fire. That's not a rumor.
Do you plan to watch a lot of movies? If you do, you'll be better off getting the PS3 because Blu-ray movies are outselling HD-DVD movies. Toshiba has gotten so desperate that it's willing to bribe movie companies to makes movies exclusively for HD-DVD. The flaw is that it's only 18 months, so after 18 months, those companies are going to go back to making movies in Blu-ray.
It's true that the 360 has more games than the PS3, but then again, the 360 came out 1 year before the PS3. After Halo 3, Mass Effect, and Halo Wars, the 360 doesn't have that many other good games for it.
The PS3 is just starting to get a lot of games. And it's going to continue well into next year. There's Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy XIII, Final Fantasy vs. XIII, Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune.
Developers are already complaining about the DVD-9, how it's not enough for their games. Blu-ray can hold up to 50 gb on a double layer disk while DVD-9 is a dual layer DVD and it only holds a little over 8 gb. If games get too big, it'll have to be on multiple disks for the 360, and developers don't like multiple disks because it cuts into their profits.
Looks like the 360 fanboy trolls are giving thumbs down to anyone who says the PS3 is better. They just can't accept the truth.

Almost a third of XBOX 360 are malfunctioning right from the start. PS3 return rate is only around 3%.
Let's compare them
PS3 has 7+1 kernels in Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 3x2
PS3 uses advanced tech called Blu-Ray, one disc can store up to 50 gb (in the future - up to 200 gb), Xbox 360 - regular dual DVD (9.5 gb).
Calculations per sec - PS3 - 51-billion-dot-product-operati... per second
Xbox 360 - 33.6-billion-dot-product-opera... per second
PS3 has full media support - USBs, built-in card reader (except 20 gb version), ability to use printer and so on.
Xbox 360 has USBs and only 2 memory slots.
PS3 supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers
Xbox 360 - up to 4 Controllers
PS3 - wi-fi included (except 20 gb version)
Xbox 360 - wi-fi will cost you around 100 $
Xbox 360 is widely known for so-called "red ring of doom" problem - it gets overheated easily. My PS3 was running for more than 8 hours non-stop with no problems. Sometimes Xbox 360 becomes so overheated, that thermopaste on CPU melts, drips on motherboard and successfully shortcircuits it.
Besides all of this, I've seen disassembled Xbox 360 - regular PC architecture - Billy Gates is an uninventive nerd (as usual).
When I saw disassembled PS3 - it was a surprise - smart architecture, good cooling (don't buy external PS3 coolers - they make everything worse - original system is good), etc.
In 2008 we'll get more than 300 games, including Metal Gear Solid 4 and other great exclusives. Here is the great link to the future PS3 releases. http://ps3.ign.com/index/release.html......
PS3 online world will be free, Xbox 360 - you have to pay.
In some countries people call Xbox 360 "Coffin 360".
The funniest thing, that right now there are no games for PS3, that show full potential of the console.
Sony expects PS3 to stay on the market for, at least, 7-10 years.
I didn't mention Wii, because it's so weak, no point to talk about it.

Well I would buy the 360, it has many great games that i already know are worth playing like, Halo 3, Gears of War, and many other games, I also like the online community better. I am a sony fanboy though. Here are some titles worth getting the PS3 for, Metal Gear Solid 4, Resistance Fall of Man, Final Fantasy XIII, Kingdom Hearts III, God of War 3, and alot more. but it will be a long wait until we get these titles. Though there are also games liek Devil May Cry 4, and a few others that , aren't going to be PS3 exclusives, another good reason to get the 360.

i would either get him the ps3 and resistance with hdmi lead or xbox with bioshock and the darkness /gears and maybe even halo.
i am 34 ,been playing games for 20 odd years and even wrote for various magazines.
i saved up my money for a ps3 on launch day and my son already has an xbox 360.
my money still sits in a jar waiting for a few good enough
games to be released to justify my ps3 purchase,while my son buys game after game for the xbox 360. somewhere down the line i will buy a ps3 but if i had to have one console now it would have to be the 360 as the ps3 would just sit there gathering dust.
most games will be released for both machines anyway

I would go for the 360 as it has more games and things.. theres some great bundles if you look around. PS3 is very good graphics wise but has some major lighting problems in some games. Also more people go on Xbox Live ;) I didnt mention Wii cause th graphics are crap!

U.S. Prices
PS3 is $499 and the Xbox 360 Elite is $479. $20 dollar difference...
PS3 games produced are on Hd 50gig blueray (more space for better graphics without sacrificing game levels and game size..) GTA4 developers even stated that the game will have better graphics and gaming on the ps3 version and are having issues with the 360 version because of 8gig dvd game format... They may have to make the 360 version on multiple disc so if you like getting out of your chair alot while playing, .....
360-elite games produced on dual layered 8gig dvds
game developers are finding the 360 format to limiting and finding that they have to sacrifice game graphics or gaming levels and challenges...
Ps3 for the extra $20 you get a full HD entertainment system that also surfs the internet. You can goto any website and watch or download videos like YouTube...You can access your email and print it etcc...
Ps3 Blueray hd movie player that also upscales regular dvds movies to HD...It also upscales ps2 games to hd..
Ps3 comes with rechargeable controllers...
Ps3 comes with free online play and Wifi
All of the above the 360-elite can't do.
360 and elite -For hd movies you have to buy the hddvd player for $200. For
360 elite for quick charge kit you have to buy it for $20.
360 elite no interent browser
Ps3 hdmi 1.3 (supports deep color)
360-elite- 1.2 doesn't support deepcolor 1.3
Ps3 Nvidia RSX GPU Graphics at least two years ahead of it's time. And programmers aren't even close to using it's full potential yet.
360-elite is hardware locked into outdated DX9 graphics-Game programmers are developoing for DX10 (full 4d and 3d motion realism)
THe ps3 8cell broadband processors. CPU-Designed specifically for highspeed calculations (Games Capable of more AI charactors )
Xbox 360 -Elite-- The New 65NM CHip....Isn't any different then what they used in the 360 core except it cost less to produce....
Ps3 you can buy any external usb harddrive and hook it up loaded with music videos , etc...You can buy any brand 2.5 ata harddrive and upgrade the harddrive size for ps3...
THe elite and 360 requires Microsoft harddrives only- for a 20gig it's $100, for the 120 it's $189
360 -elite for wifi you have to pay an additional $100 and online gaming is $50 a year...And for that $50 a year to play online you also get stuck with third party in menu advertising...
To use 60% of what the 360 and elite can do you have to buy the addons and you'll spend over $750 before you even insert a game.
THe elite and new 360s hdmi, 65nm, red ring of death--Microsoft has no Idea what the cause is, You can't fix what you can't find. So yes they are all vulnerable.
Get the ps3 you can use it for so much more. We own all three. THe wii, elite and ps3,

they're both just as good but from my point of view, the playstation 3 is more value for money than you think, also consider the fact that the ps3 has only just been realised, and so not many games have been born yet, if i were you, i would go for the ps3, but the 360 is still pretty good.

Xbox 360. It does everything more that the PS3 does and more! It is less expensive also. Halo 3 is great and the gameplay is so much better. The Graphics are stellar!
