ok heres the deal. i have a choice between either getting the PS3 of XBOX 360 for christmas and i wanna kno which one i should get (meaing which one is better) I currently have a PS2 but only three games for it
Ive heard that the PS3 is a scam and that even though it looks good, it isnt really all that (even though internet is free and stuff like that while XBOX LIVE cost something...) So I need help from all those gamers that have either the PS3 and/or XBOX 360 to tell me which is better and which i should get for christmas whithout regretting it.

i have a PS3, and it is TOTALLY worth those $500.
like you said, the internet is free
you can actually surf the web from the PS3
it can store music, pictures, and videos
it plays blu-ray movies (even though people say they dont need that, it's awesome)
and of course, it has a GREAT line up of games already out, and coming soon for the system like:
resistance: fall of man
motorstorm
heavenly sword
ratchet & clank future: tools of destruction
uncharted: drake's forturne
haze
GOD OF WAR 3!!!
metal gear 4
call of duty 4
GTA 4
and a whole mess more

For people that say that the PS3 is way too expensive. You are wrong!!! Get the PS3 dude. Xbox Live cost $50 per year. Playstation Network cost $0 per year. It is just as good. An Xbox360 that costs $350 is more expensive than a PS3 that costs $400 or $500. If you own your Xbox360 for 4 years, which is a very likely life span, than that $350 Xbox360, turns into a $550 Xbox360. See my point?
Also the games on PS3 are just as good, if not better. The only thing that Xbox has going for it is Halo. That is it. PS3 is better in everything else. Better graphics, better gameplay, better system!

I have a PS3 and I am very pleased with it. Not only do you get more like Blu-Ray, built-in wifi, free online, internet browser, interchangeable hard drive, but it is also way more reliable. The pros to 360 are.......nuthing really, more games (most new games come on both now anyway) graphics slightly better (this won't be true for long as once the hardware is realized to its full potential, it will pass the 360) also PS3 is not locked into dx9 like 360. What I'm trying to say is 360 is as good as it will get. Games are on DVD which are running out of room, and like I said graphics capabilities that are locked into this -gen. So I really don't see a reason to get a 360 (even the price is the same now, and with PS3 you get more bang for your buck) but if all your friends have it, and you don't care if it breaks cuz you have a warranty then be my guest, but I was like you debating, and for the longest time I was Pro-360, but now I see the benefits of PS3, so don't hesitate and go with Sony.

The internet gaming is free for the PS3 and Xbox Live is £40 per year in UK/ $50 per year in America, so over 5 years that's £200/$250 saved compared to Xbox live. If you like online play there's Resistance, Motorstorm and Warhawk. And Unreal Tournament 3, Haze and Metal Gear Online are coming out. Also the Playstation Network has Little Big Planet and Home coming to it. The Playstation Store has some great things on it like classic Playstation games, as well as Wipeout HD, Calling All Cars and Everyday Shooter.
Blu-ray discs mean that more can be stored on PS3 games allowing them to be bigger. An Xbox DVD holds about 8GB but a single layer Blu-ray disc holds 25GB and a dual layer holds 50GB yet a 360 game costs the same as a PS3 game. Grand Theft Auto 4 may have to be put on multiple discs for the 360 because they're smaller and you might not like having to get up to change the disc. One level on Killzone 2 takes up 2GB which shows the scale of PS3 games. The PS3 is a very cheap Blu-ray player while you have to buy a £120/$200 add-on to play HD-DVD movies.
The PS3 has been out a year less than the 360 and it's graphics are already equalling or bettering those on the 360. As the developers become better at developing games for the PS3 the gap will only widen. As far as games go most of the better games for the Xbox are either multi-platform or going to come out for the PC at some point like Gears of War and Halo 1 & 2 already have.
The 360 is backwards compatible with about 300 Xbox games but if you get a backwards compatible PS3 then there are thousands of PS1 and PS2 games you can play.
Here's a list of what I think are or will be the best games for the PS3:
Well right now there's Resistance, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Ratchet and Clank, Virtua Fighter 5, Resistance Fall of Man, Heavenly Sword, Stranglehold, Assassin's Creed, Virtua Tennis 3, Folklore, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, Guitar Hero 3, Singstar and Call of Duty 4.
Uncharted, Killzone 2, Haze, MGS4, Final Fantasy XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Afrika, Little Big Planet, Tekken 6 and God of War 3 will be coming out as PS3 exclusives. Also the maker of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus is making his next game exclusively on PS3. The makers of Fahrenheit are also making their next game a PS3 exclusive.
As well as this there are ones that are multi-platform like Devil May Cry 4, Kane and Lynch: Dead Men, Lost Planet, Resident Evil 5, The Orange Box, Soul Calibur 4 and Rock Band. Also a new Jak and Daxter and Bioshock are rumoured to be coming out on the PS3. So in my opinion the PS3 has a much stronger lineup then the 360.
The Xbox is cheaper (but I don't think it is in the long run) and Xbox live is probably better (but you have to pay). The original Xbox only had a lifespan of 4 years and with the 360's problems it may only last another 2-3. The PS2 had a lifespan of 6 years and the PS3 is planned to last 7-10 years. All PS3 controllers are rechargeable, you just connect them to the USB port to charge, but you have to buy a rechargeable battery pack if you don't want to use AA batteries for the 360 pad. The PS3 has much better hardware than the Xbox which has massive 30% failure rate. The PS3's failure rate is 0.2%. 360's are known to scratch discs if they're moved while on, this would be practically impossible to happen on the PS3 anyway because blu-ray discs are hard-coated.
The PS3 is the most value for money as all models have a hard drive and Wi-fi built in but for the 360 you have to pay more in some way or another for these features. Also to play DVDs you have to buy a DVD remote for the 360 but you can just use the sixaxis if you want to play DVDs on the PS3. Only the PS3's games are all region free so you can import games from other countries before they come out or get an obscure Japanese game if you want. Also the PS3 plays full 1080p hi-definition wheras the Xbox just upscales the image.
You should get the console that has the games that you want but I'd get the PS3 because of it's games, features and reliability.

If price is not the issue go for the PS3(80gb). Very solid gaming system going for $500 right now. I'm gonna wait 'till the price drops, and buy either a xbox 360 or the playstation 3.
