There are reports that xbox360's have ~33% defective rates. Thats pretty crappy. http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=7892

Of the first couple of runs... I just had the RRoD on my 360 after a year and a half. Now that the warranty is 3 years (longer than a PS3) they are 2nd day airing me a box to get it replaced. Within a week I'll have a perfectly new 360 with the problems that caused the 33% failure rate solved.

360 and it's savings and more/better games ftw.

That's probably the best way to look at it.

I have a ps3, HAD a 360.

360 just wasting up to par.

Yeah there isnt that many ps3 games out YET, but they will come, and when they do, it will storm.

ps3 is just so much more refined. with the 360 it looks like someone made a cheap dashboard and said, LETS USE THIS!!!

The PS3 will eventually get games, yes. Still not worth the price jump (also considering it comes with non-hd composite cables). The 360 already has an established library of games, great online play, excelent graphics, great waranty.

You could get the PS3 and wait for a good game to come out, or you can pick up a 360 and play Halo, GOW, Forza II, Dirt, or whatever sports franchise you're into without the wait.

For me I've yet to get one or the other, I'm holding out for Resident Evil 5 (PS3) GT-HD (PS3) will be PS3.

the delima now is, if i had the $500 in hand to get a ps3, I'd put it else where, like towards school or my car.

as a long time die hard playstation fan it hurts me to tell you that the xbox 360 is your best bet!

if your into movies then the ps3 is your dog but when it comes to game play and online play the xbox 360 has the advantage

i was waiting out for the ps3 and gt5 but after playing forza2 on a buddies 360 i went out like a dog with his tail between his legs and purchased a 360 and have yet to regret it.

oh and btw the elite has 1080p thru hdmi so the picture quality is right on spot with the ps3 unless your **** you wont see a difference

Memento? of all movies under Sony's belt, why Memento? I rather get a free copy of 5th Element.
