usmarine. What do you want. Do you want a blu ray? Would you ever watch blu ray films? It essentially boils down to that, tbh. Oh wait actually, are you even going to go online at all? If you're not even intending to go online, get the 360. If you're intending to go online, are you going to use wireless? If you are, get the PS3, if not, get the 360 if you're going to use wired ethernet. It's a rough decision if you don't know what you want, tbh.

Unless you're a hardcore Gran Turismo fanboy or something. (me)

Yeah, and/or you like MGS4. Then the choice is obvious.

here's a suggestion, spend $360 at least to play 1 game.

Honestly... This is how I would look at it.

If you like the xbox controller more, get xbox. If you like the PS controller more, do that.
If you don't care, look at HOW often you will play games online, and if you care about chatting with friends while your trying to game.

I like the PS controller, but can use either. I play online games very occasionally. PS3 is a huge winner because I can go a month with out online console gaming easy. Online service is there when I want it, but I don't have to pay for the huge gaps when I am not using it.
And when I do play online all I want is to fucking play online. If I REALLY wanted PSN does have voice chat, just not in game (yet). I don't have any desire to chat with people who are playing another game so it all works out perfect for me.

Plus I like racing games, and its nice to be able to plug a normal wheel in and have it work.

Most big games come out on both consoles anyways.

I just want to play sports games mainly. The internet will be hard wired. I see the xbox is 120gb, but the new slim is 120gb plus 100 bucks cheaper.

I just don't know.

In that case, I would get a PS3 and use the 100 bucks to get a game or two.

Do you want to play sports games while paying monthly talking to your friends online who are playing shooters? so far it seems that is the only benefit listed... And it will cost you an extra $100 up front, then a monthly subscription...

Another reason for the PS3

Seriously though it seems like the main thing anyone has been able to point at is XBL has cross game voice chat... Unless some one else can point out some other amazing features I don't see that being worth $100, then more every year.

Unless there are some AMAZING games you want only on Xbox, or you REALLY want to play with a certain group it doesn't seem like there is any actual reason to buy the xbox?

Marine don't put so much value on the HD size of the Xbox/PS3... it shouldn't be that much of a decisive factor, unless you literally intend to never use a CD, i.e. to install every single game you have to the console itself.

Oh...so it doesn't affect the performance of the game right? Good to know. Thank you.

I think I'm the only one here with both consoles, and I prefer my 360. I also play NHL like you do and I prefer the 360's controller.

Again, not saying the PS3 is a bad console, it's certainly not...I just think you'd like the 360 better.

It won't ever affect the performance of the game, no. On some games, booting from the console hard-drive will make it load-up marginally faster, but you won't be playing with a higher framerate or better settings or anything like that, the hardware doesn't make as much of a difference as it does with PC games. The straight-up benefit of a bigger HD is that you can simply keep more stuff... downloaded content, demos, videos, installed games, save-files etc.

Mate, don't be a sheep and get the xbox because the majority of people get it for some strange, deluded reason.

The PS3 is more reliable, I've heard online is way easier to set up on PS3 than xbox, and if your going to be talking to no one, there's no reason why you should listen to the "XBL is better" fags.

$300 for the better console with 120gb hd is an absolute steal, and think about it, the coolest people here have PS3s, me, jord and surgeons.

Surgeons even owned an xbox360 and then decided to get a ps3, why would he do that? Because PS3 is better. And at this new price it's awesome.
