Playstation is a nice console. But not nearly as many people have it compared to Xbox 360. The PSN is terrible. Playstation doesn't really have that many good games. Also, if you go look at the error code list for the Playstation, you'll see that they have at least 3x the amount of errors that can occur with the Xbox 360. I also hear just as many people complaining about their Playstation getting the "yellow" light of death just as much as the Xbox 360. The RROD for the Xbox 360 is completely fixed with the Elite, and the new Xbox "Slim". The only reason why people keep complaining about the RROD is because they still have the old models (the arcade, pro, etc.).

Here's a good story, my cousin is in college, he bought a PS3 about a year ago and it worked fine for about a week or so. His little brother came over and he brought over a gundam game for the PS3. So they decide to play it, but when they try to load the game on the PS3, there was a funny smell in the room and all of a sudden they noticed that the PS3 was smoking and verrry hot. They don't know wtf happened and they contacted Sony about the issue and they said they can't refund it. So now he uses the PS3 as a door stop for his dorm.

I have playstation 3 since early 2007 and still work perfect. PS3 had really great excslsive games, much better than Xbox360 games so i don't where ycou get that facts from. YLOD on PS3 is very low percentage unlike Xbox360 RROD. who ever told you that YLOD same much as RROD is 100% pure bullshit and lied. PS3 is built for quality console than XBOX360.

PS3 wasn't great in 2007 and 2008 but rest of the year PS3 is clearly best choice to buy and PSN is improve alot better.

Fact that XBOX360 may have more title games but lack of quanity exclusives XBOX360 games. PS3 exclusives games has more high score feedback than XBOX360 exclusives. If you don't believe me, check it up.
PS3 will overtake XBOX360 in worldwide sale in next year. also Epic said they are thinking of all three titles of gear of war coming to PS3. They are thinking about it at the moment.

I own XBOX360 and PS3 and i havn't turn on XBOX360 since two the half years ago. I find PS3 as a better gaming machine. that just my personal opinion. if you never own a PS3, then you should check up the good facts about PS3 because it worth buying for.
