How much are you going to actually play?  Are you going to want to play online?  How much are you looking to spend?  I'm an Xbox man myself.  Great selection of games, great all around system. put your pic's on it, upload your own music to listen to while gaming. The cheap arcade system is now $200, I chose to go with the Elite system it has some different internals and comes with a detachable 120gb hard drive and now costs $400.  With the Xbox you have to pay for online gaming but I don't mind the $50 a year because I play it pretty regularly and its worth it to me.  My only experience with the PS3 was for about 30min and no online play so don't know much about it besides it id Blu-ray.  Let me know if I can help further.

I'm thinking about the PS3 myself.. A.. sweet games in development. B. same price as a blue-ray player.

How did it melt it's self?  I have never as much had mine freeze up on me and I have had it for almost 2 years and play the crap out of it, but then again the problems weren't ever really surrounding the Elite.

Depends on what type games you are into.  But both systems do have some sweet games in their future.  :grin_nod:

Ok so... with the x box you have to pay for online but for the ps3 is free?  Is blu-ray any better?  Damnit i want both!!

Blu-ray capability plus free online game play makes it a no-brainer for me (PS3)

Mostly both systems have the same games right? Give or take a few different games.

Yeah I would go with the PS3
try to get the older 80gb if anything due to its downward compatability which they no longer support

Does blu-ray really have a better picture than a reg. dvd player?

Your saying that you can't play Ps2 games on the new Gen?
