RE: PS3 or Xbox360. Still cant decide!
Actually there are some backwards compatibility issues. Fable can't hardly play on my box same with a few other games. It's kind of a hit and miss with the compatibility. It doesn't seem l i k e certain games will all work (ie different spinter cells) but a good bit of them do. You've always got your old xbox for them anyways.. a ps3 wouldn't offer any backwards compatibility with those games anyhow.

3 Reasons to buy 360 over PS3:
1. Game Selection (with games you actually WANT to play)
2. Xbox Live (movie rentals, game downloads and online gameplay)
3. Achievements (you'll get addicted, really quick)
The only thing I'm buying a PS3 for is that it's the only affordable Blu-ray player out there that has an ethernet connection for updates. THAT'S IT!..........and maybe Gran Turismo 5 (but without achievements, what's the point, really?)

well i wouldn't pay for online gaming with the 360, if the PS3 is going down in Sept i might go that route. my favorite game for xbox besides Halo is Ninja Gaiden Black, and i think that went over to PS3 as Ninja Gaiden Sigma.....so i dunno. i l ike the 360 for halo, and other reasons.

PS3 is offering movies downloadable to your hdd and to the top of that, if you have psp, it will convert the movie and transfer it to your handheld device and you'll be able to watch it anywhere you go, and i think that will be around 1 buck a movie.
And let me paste a good article for you all. I just saw this today that PS3 is using only 30% of its system power !?
Now blue ray offers huge data storage + today ps3 is using only 30% of its system power = ??? do the math.

Dude I respect your opinion but..., you will have all those items on Playstation 3 too. In couple months, PS3 is coming up with an updated new services and plus they are replacing the current generation consoles with new integrated Wi-Fi, extended hdd etc. consoles at no extra cost.

Sooooooo much fanboyism in here.
I own both and they both suck in there own ways.
The 360 wins on streaming video cause the PS3 only plays 2 of my 30 divx movies.
Ps3 wins on music playing
PS3 still looses on games cuase **** still isnt coming out for it. Dont give me bull**** about it.
Bluray, ya still dont want to pay $30 for a movie (ya I know theres a thing called the internet), sucks at upscaling dvd's cause if ****ing wont upscale anything copyrighted...........um thats ****ing everything. Stupid message.
360 wins on not ha.ving to install every ****ing thing thats inserted into it.
Only 30-40%......Hmmmmmmmmmm really. Ya but it puts out more heat than my bike. My dam room turns into a sonna faster than just with my PC thats has its own eletric bill.

since neither of those consoles satisfy your needs, just pull the zipper and grab the hidden joystick ! damn!
