I've been reading through previous news articles, and stumbled upon Wiinty's thread on 'Why you should buy a PS3...'. Having previously owned the Playstation 3, and recently, upgraded to the xbox, I thought it'd be nice to share an opposing viewpoint to those expressed in that thread. This is not a side-by-side comparision with the Playstation 3, but here are 10 reasons as to why the Xbox 360 is worth purchasing:

#1 The Xbox 360 Slim now has wi-fi! This enables you to use Xbox Live to its full functionality without having to purchase the additional wireless adaptor.

#2 Xbox Live, which, as opposed to the PS3, has the capabilities of cross gaming chat, a superior game invites system, and is fully integrated with the Xbox site.

#3 The Storage Capacity of the new Xbox 360 is a massive 250GB! This is more than enough room to store music, movies and video game updates.

I too "Upgraded" from the ps3 to the 360, as i had an old 15GB one! i had no regrets.
after playing my xbox, i decided to make my move permanent, selling my ps3 for £190
to by the new Xbox 360 Slim, and its great, with the amazing connection and massive HDD, i can enjoy my gaming and multimedia with no trouble.

Great post, mate. :y: I've had a PS2 since way before getting an Xbox, and I loved the thing. It was my favorite console, til' we got an Xbox. I liked the Xbox just as much as I liked the PS2. It was a hard decision for me to choose between a Ps3 or an Xbox 360. In the end, I chose the Xbox 360. xD I'm not unhappy with it, at all. All the hardware 'problems' that people say it has haven't even happened to me, so I guess I'm lucky. It runs very well, especially with the three processors.

I'd get a PS3, but I'm getting a new PC, soon. So the PS3 will unfortunately have to wait. : ( I can't wait though, as the PS3 must be a great console, just like the 360.

Do a barrel roll!
Both the Wii and PS3 have the ability to stream movies and TV shows from Netflix, Xbox is not the only one :mad:
