XBOX or PS3

I just bought a wii tonight for my kids for christmas

well, what are you looking for in a system, cause if you want pure gaming and great online access, go xbox 360, but if you want a high quality system, then ps3 is it, but it lacks in online play and gaming, the games havent caught up with the system, and your gonna pay a 100.00 more for the ps3, do yourself a favor.........by Mircosoft

Thank you everyone for your responses.

I think DevilsOwn nailed it. I am actually looking for a gaming system and trying to stay away from BluRay and HD DVD. Who know who will come out on top when it is all said and done.

True, I read online and some mentioned here, PS3 seems to be more "capable" but apparently hasn't taken advantage of its strengths. Plus, I hear a lot of praise about Xbox Live and not so much about the "Home" (or whatever it is called for PS3).

yeah, there are alot of upsides to xbox live... i can stream in HD movies directly to my tv without having to have a dvd upgrade for about 5 bucks. they also have many many tv shows available for download and alot of game review clips and tip clips for free...

also, the fact that many titles are available for demo downloads, so that you can test drive them at home before you buy them, is very valuable.

A technically stronger system does not always mean a better system. If game developers find a system to difficult to program for they simply won't waste their time with it.

I love the demos, and I really love Xbox Live Arcade.

Isnt the "home" thing coming out next year? Like Spring or something and they do keep pushing things back which is kind of annoying. But Heavenly Sword is a good game

If you like online gaming competition then there is really no choice. Xbox is by leaps and bounds ahead of any other console system when it comes to online gaming.

Most importantly, You cannot find porn in Blu-Ray format only HD-DVD.
Go with a 360 and HD Drive.
