Should I buy an xbox 360 or ps3?
I like first-person shooters (crysis, CoD, battlefield, borderlands) most (I've been playing PC mostly for years), and all the games I like appear to be released on both consoles.
I'm looking to save money. I've heard xbox360 charges $50 a year to play online, but ps3 is free. But I've also heard there are more people on xbox's online network in the USA than ps3's. Is this correct?

I also want a system that's durable. I've heard all the RROD horror stories--has this been fixed for the newer xbox's? Does one system have a better/longer warranty? Also do both systems have built-in wi-fi for the newer models?

I already have a blu-ray player, so that's not a consideration.

Are peripherals more expensive for one system than the other?

Does one have more comfortable controllers for big hands?

I like that i can get an xbox 360 4gb for only $200. It looks like the ps3 is $250 new, but it has a 160gb hard drive.

I don't see any exclusive games for either system that I'm interested in, so it looks like my selection is good for each.

Thank you for any advice!!

Since, you're not on the market for a Blu-Ray player, the 360 is the best bet.
Having said that, there are some drawbacks and advantages.

Advantages of 360:
-Way more content as far as DLC, Apps, Arcade and Indie games, and deals and specials following all of them. Huge game marketplace
-Way bigger community than the PS3. Always people online. MLG tournaments, special events, and promotions.
-Headset. Can't stress that enough. Though most prefer to buy a 3rd party one, the Xbox 360 comes with a default headset for that vital communication when playing FPS such a Borderlands. No one wants to dish out $40+ bucks for a bluetooth one.

Disadvantages:

-That 50-60 bucks a year price tag for online, though you get used to it.
-Microsoft Support sucks. Nuff said. It's just horrible.


And as far as Games go, I recommend checking out Halo 4, or at least renting it when it comes out.

Get a PS3 - free internet - Playstation store is a hella lot easier to use than microsoft thingy - Graphics are Rad - Games can be pretty cheap - try play.com or Game i never pay more than 40 quid for a new release, Killzone & Resi 5 £35 each - built in wi-fi & bluetooth - blu-ray player, those Blu ray movies are killa's - i have 4 conrtol ports so Headset, Joypad, & guitar hero thingy all fit in together - why not get a playstation eye as well - Platinum range of games 20 quid

Don't get an Xbox just cause your mates have one - Get the PS3,

I did just this morning read an article that Micorsoft put out an Ad for developers to create new games for the next gen-console so maybe a very nice 2012 ish time for Xbox 720 cause thats what i would expect it to be

But for all that you could buy a upgrade a PC taking in mind it would take a heela lot of money to do - Sorry long Explanation - 30in Monitor 700 ish pounds but it has a native resolution of 2560 X 1600 - take in mind Full HD is 1920 X 1080 - not all Console release's are at these specs yet - But then you would need maybe another £1000 to buy just 2 top end Nvidia Cards to run the Graphic Content at 2560 X 1600 resolution - also you would need £300 for about 6 GB of DDR3 Ram - then you would also need a quad core at least 3 to 3.2 GHZ processor, about 600 quid for an Intel or AMD have them bout the 250 ish mark - Again a motherboard capable of running 2 graphics cards 6 GB of RAM & plenty of cooling, maybe another £250 & of course a power supply to run it all another £100 - After all that you need a case to put it in & why not a decent top of the range 7.1 sound Card so add between 3-400 quid

When i get to the end of it i think your price is nearly WOW £3000 pounds Crysis would blow my mind at that kinda rate

Get the PS3
