    PS3 - assassin's creed wow. I mean really wow. I've finished it now and was a feeling a bit empty, then i started playing Uncharted: drakes fortune some of the best visuals i've ever seen in a game, the only thing that annoys me is developers not utilising the hardware too few games with 1080dpi, is sucks, GTA IV soon though....

    I've also got a wii which is a good laugh except when the missus beats me at the tennis :icon_mrgreen:

    Xbox 360

    you may have to be £39 for xbox live every year but its definately worth it, the marketplace has more DLC, the friends system is superior to PS3, users can also sign into Msn on xbox 360, you can download trials for any arcade game or buy them with microsoft points, you will find alot of classic games e.g Bankshot Billiards, Worms, and lots of other fun arcade games.
    Ps3 may have a bigger Hard Drive with a 60gb compared to 360 20b(excluding 360 elite which has 120), but as you may find, you most likely wont need 60gb of space,
    the ps3 is also a larger console with dimensions About 13.5" x 3.25" compared to Xbox 360's 10.25" x 2.5" -
    Also from experience i find alot more players on xbox 360 play with headsets which IMO is better, although nothing is more irritating than those 12 year olds sqeaky voiced little * who come in screaming and shouting and teamkilling.
    There also seems to be alot more younger kids on xbox 360 rather than ps3 - probably because of the price and the release date of the console.
    the xbox is also around £200 cheaper than the ps3.
    Ps3 comes with a built in Blu Ray Dvd Player compared to 360s standard player, you can pick up a HD dvd player addon for around £100, Ps3 over powers xbox here.

    xbox 360 also recently announced their IPTV service, which is a service miscrosoft has been working on for a cupla years, it will be an On demand service which can you record watch and discuss movies progammes and more from nowhere else than on your xbox 360, you can chat to your mate for example while watching tv, your game alerts and friends list is still accessible while using this service(just like playing a game)

    Also 360 is a year older than ps3 which means game developers are developing second generation games which means their fully compatible with microsofts hardware. This also means in about a years time Ps3 will have even better graphics than what it does now.

    the ps3 also as you may know use Blu ray discs which can store lot more than xbox 360's HDDVD,

    xbox 360 also has alot more games that are Xclusive to xbox, Gears of War, Halo series, Bioshock, Forza Motorsport 2, and Shadowrun, shadowrun is the first game of its kind, it allows PC users to play with xbox 360 users together. we will be seeing alot more games like this i promise you.


    to conclude this wall of words, my opinion is right now xbox 360 is better, mainly because of the online system due to the fact it is a year older and more advanced, but dont get me wrong psn is on their trail,
    PS3 will continue to get better graphics and games as game developers can store more on Blu Ray, but its all a users preference and thats what it will be for years to come, just thought id post up some facts to backup my point instead of just saying.... xbox 360 FTW

    mate if you want to go online and play multiplayer with your console then the xbox 360 would be your best choice as it has xbox live....whereas if your looking for a blue ray player and arguablly people say better graphics i dont think theres much of difference then you could get the PS3 :50:

    Given the time, money and effort building a PC from scratch it's safe to say that's now taken over as my favourite 'Games machine'. Plus it has internets so = Win.
