Well, I have a 360 right now but am thinking about getting a PS3 instead. I like my xbox, but I have a refurbished one and it is extremely loud. I can't even bring myself to watch movies on it because the sound of the 360 being on overpowers the sound of the movie. I'm also looking into a PS3 for the blue ray player. I know I could buy a cheap player for less than a ps3 but I was looking to get rid of my xbox anyways. So i'm here just asking your opinion on the two. Just some pro's and cons of each system, mainly the ps3, since I have had my 360 for quite some time now. Hows the online, support, things like that.

QUOTE No, the PS3 does have online gameing, with all the same capabilities (keyboards, headsets, friends lists, chatting, crap talking while ingame ) the only difference is that PS3 has FREE online gaming, whereas x360 requires you to pay a monthly fee Plus the 360 requires you to buy more stuff for every expansion past plain ole gaming. Like if you wanna watch movies, gotta buy stuff. Just like the regular x-box required you to buy a special remote to play movies; It's total BS. the ps3 will play DVD/B-ray right out of the box. remote is Optional False, you do not need to buy anything seperate to watch movies on a 360. You can buy another remote if you want to just like the ps3. If you buy the cheap ps3 it will only come with Red White Yellow cables. RWY cables will not make blu-ray movies look good. My roommate has a ps3 and before when we would watch movies through his cables on my 1080p LCD tv they looked ok... Watching them through my HDMI cable they look AMAZING. If you buy a PS3 buy the more expensive with the bigger hard drive, and HDMI cables so you can play ps2 games. PS3 has free online gaming. because it is free very few people actually use it. Because you have to pay for xbox live(6$ a month!!!) you use it more, which is why their online community is so much stronger. Hope that makes since... Both systems have awesome games, first person shooters, RPG's, or whatever... If you are just looking for a blu-ray player, get a blu-ray player. If you are looking forward to playing specfic PS3 exclusive games then buy a PS3. I hope you have a tv worthy of blu-ray. -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2
