Xbox vs PlayStation

I have both consoles, and the user experience of the PS3 and PSN struck me as much more intuitive and comprehensive. The 360's is serviceable, but lacks the attention to detail I have come to enjoy in the PS3's interface. Controller-wise, the two are comparable. 360's is too chunky, PS3's shoulder buttons are a little to easy to accidentally trigger when you set the controller down in your lap.

My TV is a Westinghouse 1080p with a lot of input options in the back and automatic switching. You turn on a console, it switches to that input. Really nice, however the 360 tends to trigger the switch even when it's not on, which makes it an annoyance.

Number and quality of games-wise, the PS3 has a more varied selection of quality games, while the 360 has a higher number of games total. If all you need are automatic weapons and sports, 360 is where it's at. As the poster above mentions, Battlefield 3, Bullet Storm...these games are the 360's bread and butter. If you need a more varied selection of genres, PS3 has that. Enslaved, Valkyria Chronicles, Uncharted, and Resistance each offer entirely different play experiences.

So overall, I put my vote with the PS3. Still enjoy my 360 though.

That old chestnut!

I'd say both are the same, but they aren't. If you game online the 360 is the better option for the fact there's more players and the voice chat can be heard.

PS3 voice chat is terrible. I usually run voice through my laptop on MSN when playing with a friend on PS3. Of course this means I'm not communicating with everyone alese in the game.
