To start off, I have a PS1, PS2, PSP, and an Xbox 360. Why no PS3 you ask? Well I'm about to tell you. With about 50 real life friends that use Xbox Live, social gaming is a major advantage to owning a 360. When ever I am on, there is ALWAYS someone I can play with, and on the chance I don't want to, the LIVE community of 12 million people will keep you busy. Put this with a Netflix membership and a LIVE party, and you can soon be enjoying a movie with your buds from school, work, online, etc. So the already great online service is going to become even better this fall, and I can't wait.
The Games-
With titles like Halo, Fable, Grand Theft Auto, Gears of Ware, and Rock Band all containing exclusive, or timed exclusive content for the 360, their gaming lineup is great. When put with the almighty online community, your gaming just got even better!
The Price-
Coming in at $300 for the 60 GB version, the 360 is great on the wallet! In fact, the only disadvantage is the crazy amount of games you will want to get!
The Graphics-
Don't ever let anyone tell you the PS3 has better graphics! They might have blu-ray, but the only advantage is disk space! Multi-platform games are going to be the same on both consoles, and the only time the PS3 will see better graphics, is on exclusive titles. At the time, there aren't many, and the lineup doesn't appeal much to me... Unless you want to play MGS4, and watch 10+ hours of cutscenes, PS3 games don't have the luxury of a 360 title.
While I could go on, this is the bottom line for buying a console. If you are in the market, online play, games, price, and graphics are probably going to be you top priorities. My recomendation, go with the 360, you won't regret it.
buy an xbox it's worth it.

this one good system. But MICROSOFT need to fix something about it. By making a small version of XBOX 360. And more relayable chip sets.

I have had my 360 since the night it came out. I love it. I've had no problems and the games are great. The controllers are great and fit your hand great. XBOX live is a great system I just wish it was free but it's still worth the money because it has everything available from movies, games, demos, tv shows, and music videos! Either way this is the best system because I've had them all!
