Have both, unless it is a PS3 exclusive (Demon's Souls, ect) I get it on the 360. I hate the PS3 controller for fps, just feels weird, triggers suck.

Blu rays on Ps3 as well.

from a tech savy person like myself, i prefer the ps3. i try to take full advantage of its capabilities. i have a 500g external hard drive that i have tons of movies on. i watch blue rays. and i also have a psp and am able to connect and use my playstation from anywhere around the world. include turn on the ps3 eye and look and hear whats going on in my living room! i chat with my family back home with the eye as well. i take advantage of ps3's net flix, psn HUGE selection of videos, demos, those cool new dynamic themes

see im a weirdo and look up specifics on the hardware and clearly see how much superior the playstation is over the x-box. ps3 is the only system that can render 4D graphics! i cant wait. and idk if x-box already has this but ps3 already has 3d games out. and playstation move is coming out next month i believe. if anybody thinks its like the wii you are very much mistaken

i also have bluetooth controllers, keypads, keyboards headsets connected to the ps3. my placestation is on 24/7. either playing music, sharing photos, playing games together, or chatting with my friends. it is the only entertainment system you need if you know how to use it. and the vp of sony america was quoted in saying "we havent even scratched the surface of the ps3' true potential"

i cant wait

the problem with all of this is, many of us who own ps3, already know all of this. it was already accepted the ps3 has superior hardware. but it has been how many years, and they gave us nothing. and even when they are finally starting to, people have already just gave up.

also, for many people, outside of "Tech savy" they purchase these things as a VIDEO GAME machine. all the other stuff it does, they could care less..

and when it comes down to what these 2 things ultimately are.. VIDEO GAME MACHINE.. the 360 has clearly stomped all over it.

i too try to use my ps3 for everything else other than a video game machine.. because if i didnt it would feel like i wasted money on it. which is a shame because i expected to use it to play games. not watch bluray, install linux, stream videos, etc.

i have an htpc that can do that a lot better.

that gamble microsoft took to release the 360 first back in the day is showing was a good one.
