Xbox 360 Or Ps3, What should I get? Options

[logan]

I have about $200 right now, but I'm gonna withdraw some money out of my bank account as I need it to pay for a console, but I'll put the money back in. So, I was wondering what console you guys think I should get...


I was looking at the 360 because.. it's cheaper, most of my friends have them and we could play together, and they just had a $50 price drop on the premium Xbox 360. So now it's only $349.99.

I was looking at the PS3 because.. it has more features, it's better in general, but it's hella expensive.


Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
[I guess I'm leaning more towards 360 as of now.]

Well. the sbox 360 has a good amount of games right now yes. xbl is pretty cool w/ the acheivments. however look at the xbox. does anyone make games for it anymore? I mean compared to the PS2. so if this is any sign of the 360's future I would bank on the PS3. it also depends on what you want it for. Ps3 might not have the number of games as of yet but it will. it also has a bigger hard drive unless you get the new 360 elite which is basically a wannabe PS3. the PS3 also can play high def blu ray movies. to do that on the 360 it will cost ya an extra $200. the PS3 has built in wirless internet. 360 that'll cost another $100. and then you have all these attachments not to mention the hideous gray power brick which is literally the size of a brick.

You also might want to take in to consideration the failure rate of the 360 and how hard it is to get media onto it. where as the 360 takes most of the popular current memory sticks and has easy usb connection recognition.. all in all I would say the ps3 even though games for the 360 has numbers the PS3 is a better all around console and just keeps getting better. Remember you get what you pay for.
