Has to be PS3. I have had both and as a unit there is no comparison.

When your up and running with fifa let me know - scottmac is my gamer tag.

360 is better.

Hmmmmmmm....... Xbox Live is the more unified service, and it's way easier to get into a game with friends.  However, it's $79.95 a year - the Playstation Network is free.

Are you after anything else in particular??  You've got hi-def movies with the PS3, plus far superior media streaming capabilities from your PC.  But _on the whole_, Xbox 360 has the better games (the exception to this rule being Metal Gear Solid 4, easily one of the best games of all time).  Depends if any of these extra features whet your whistle.

The only problem that I have found with 360 is the ring of death, but all in all, we have had no other problems.

I just had "the red ring" 4 times in 1 month on 4 different second hand 360's. Was going to buy a ps3, but guy at shop gave me a brand new 360 for free.

So 360 is better, cos its free

For non gamers - can you explain the red ring??  Cause from where i'm sitting, it sounds a little suss 

 

[Sym]

light should be green
but is red so it doesn't work

Something like that basically

lol, ok. To quote wiki...

"Xbox 360 units that fail early in their life do so because of problems in the system design, parts supply, material reliability, and manufacturing issues as well as a system not tolerant to faults. These issues were alleged to be the end results of the decisions of management in Microsoft's Xbox team and inadequate testing resources prior to the console's release."

In a nutshell, its where the hard drive frys because of overuse, I think. Serious, please elaborate..

xbox is shit
ps3 is THE shit

game console, pc & blue ray player all in one

bear u tight prick buy a ps3. your new xbox will get the ring too

PS3 by a country mile - new features being added regularly with each update so an already brilliant unit is pulling ahead even further.

I use it 30% for games, 30% as a media server, %30 for a Bluray - well balanced.

Solid as a rock too - never had a hint of any 'blue ring of death-type errors.

Few games to be sure, but mostly the good ones are on the PS3, including the PS3-only 'Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots'
