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.

bluray plays across whatever's hooked up to it. it's the resolution that matters. you can put 1080i across RGB Component cables, but only 480 across the cables that come with it, which are the red/white/yellow. if you want 1080p, get the HDMI, you can get one for like $5 from newegg. depending on your audio setup, you may also need a fiberoptic "Toslink" cable. those are cheap from newegg also. see the following thread from when we helped out RJB.
