Both 360 and PS3 are good. They both got sick games and features, I used to have a 360 myself but sold it and bought a PS3 since thats what most of my friends had and i wanted to be able to play online with them. Another thing i like about the PS3 is the fact that you don't have to pay to go online, plus by the time you've bought all the add ons for the 360 like wireless adapters and live subscription you eventually gonna end up spendin what you would have spent on the PS3 in the first place. And don't listen to all the stuff about 1 being more about media and the other more about games, they both got the same good games and they both got sick exclusives. Best 1 to go for would be the 1 most of his friends have.
