Xbox 360 or PS3?

I'm wanting to get one but not really sure which one to choose?

Do both consoles have completely different types of games? ie. does one console have more shooting games and a different more racing games?

Thanks

If you want to watch blue ray movies than go with the ps3.

As for the games , IMO they are very similar.

PS3 is cheaper in the long run . Free network , Free online gaming and Free Blueray player.

I have both. Prefer ps3 and sports game look just as good as 360 esp. hooked up to a 50" plasma lol

Online gaming 360, everything else ps3. Im considering picking up a ps3 just for the show,

i've got both, havent touched my 360 since i bought the PS3.. Although i like 360's online better.

I vote for the PS3, only thing I like about the 360 is the controller is more comfortable

I use my PS3 for streaming content from my PC to my home theater via Tversity. It can be done with the 360 as well, but I like that the PS3 has the #2 top rated BluRay player availible and I can use my harmony remote to control it. I can also be upgraded to HDMI v1.4 for 3D tv. The fact that i can play games on it is just an added bonus for me. I'm not much of a gamer...

Im biased as I work for PS3 but I also own both systems. The PS3 is just way better value when you consider the free wireless router built in, and free online gaming. Not to mention the blue ray player, and the wii like controller that is coming out this fall.

PS3 wins in every category.

i own both and PS3 > 360

PS3 all the way... No bluray player in the 360 and paying for online gaming are two huge let downs.

What's up with the wii like controller #8?

yea I saw that wii like controller looks pretty sweet, Project Natal comes out for the 360 pretty soon too......

If your looking for the best gaming with better online portion then go with the xbox, its also syncs to your windows 7 alot better than the ps3 does
plus the xbox has a better controller

if you like the blu ray player than go with the ps3.....

I say get both if you can afford it, they both have their own perks and exclusive titles

PS3- God of War
Xbox 360- Halo

ps3

Personnaly I prefer the controller for the Xbox 360. Online play is a lot better. I don't own a PS3 however, I'd have to say its a better bang for you buck for all that you get.

Thanks for the responses everyone!

I was expecting to see a lot more love for the xbox because that was my initial choice.

I'm really just looking for overall better games etc. Truth be told I don't even own a blue-ray dvd and am not in a hurry to go out and buy one- more so just looking for the best gaming console with the best games.

Also online playing really doesn't matter to me because I won't be able to use it since I only get 20gb's of internet a month- I'll eat that up in 5 minutes of online play lol.

For online. Xbox 360 100%

Go for the Xbox than. The controller is more comfortable. Halo is an awesome game, so is Forza 3. Mass Effect was sweet. These are games only available for the 360.

god of war, the show. just to mention a few. ps3 all the way.

thanks all- got the ps3.

can't say i'm really impressed with god of war though tbh.

You be happy with the PS3 im wishing i got that instead of the xbox. Watched a blue ray at a friends the other day and its unreal how clear it is

it depends on what you want. if you don't use blue ray, that's a factor, but also there are some games specific to each unit... i've got the xbox and thinking about getting the ps3 as the new games coming up will use the units power more effectively (the ps3 is a much more powerful engine)

there both similar but ps3 has the bluray, they seem to not malfunction as much as the 360, and you dont have to pay for your subscription on the network. you should also look at what games are on each system Ps3 has many games that arent available on the 360 such as Gran Turismo 5, Killzone 2 and 3, InFamous, Resistance etc

I purchased the new xbox 360 a couple months back for my son from a guy who won it. the controller is a bit bigger. Next month they are releasing Kinect for the new Xbox 360. Kinect is like the wii except NO REMOTES look at the link below. They can't Mod it yet, but I think they will soon. PS3 can't be Modded. The New Xbox 360 is the best bet IMO..
