xbox360 for now.. PS3 a bit later. PS3 is better technologically but do not have any hit games as of now. Plus, Xbox 360 has been cracked so you can play backup games ;)

I wouldn't even bother with a PS3 unless you are really into Blu-Ray movies. The games out right now just aren't worth the cost of the system. The third-party publisher games are done just as well or better on the 360 right now.

I wish there was a Microcenter that wasn't so far away from my house. :(

it's actually $300 for the premium, but yes, it's still a terrific deal

You can get another $100 rebate by signing up for the Microcenter credit card.

If you haven't played gears of war, 360 is the way to gay. Xbox finally got its killer app out, and let me tell you gears of war does not disappoint. Co-op single player with a friend might be the most fun I've ever had playing a video game.

Get the 360 and wii for the price of the PS3. Xbox will dominate online play, and will compete fairly with the PS3 in graphics. And the wii is just fun as hell to play with others. can't wait for super smash bros.

hehehe

maybe he has split personalities? ;)

I think he means single player by campaign, whereas multiplayer would mean deathmatch.

I know what he meant. :) It was just worded funny.


I know, just posting to give me something to do at work :)

I also agree on buying the 360 and Wii. The 360 has matured enough to be a viable platform and the Wii is just fun. :)

360 hands down. The only thing PS3 has that the 360 doesn't are a couple of exclusives. Any online title that is on both consoles will be better on the 360 because Live > *.

Get a 360!
i have both a PS3 and a Wii sitting here. I love the wii it is fun but i just can't get into any of its story games (did i mention i am a pic gamer?) so i sold it today. The ps3 i am still debating whether i am keeping or not. But i want a 360! oerall i like the system the best, fun to play, more established, better online presence than ps3 (and the wii has none), and the conroller is the best

*edit* oh and if you are worried about a 360 price drop it prob won't be happening until summer at the SOONEST if not 3rd quarter of 07 but if you have a costco near by purchase it from costco. when the price drops (and they come out with the new 65nm cpu's in the thing you can always return your 360 (which is allowed under their return policy) and purchase the newer, better, 360 for less
