I own a 360 and am largely impressed with it. The whole marketplace/dashboard etc is very very good.

As for games - Gears of War, PES, Saints Row (until GTA!), PGR3/4 are all great.

The ps3, is technically better, but its just lacking something atm. Its also pretty pricey.

If your looking for value for money and a great system, then go xbox. If your willing to pay a few more quid, and face the prospect of waiting a little longer for the ps3 to flourish, go ps3.

Tbh, they are both great - its just they are at different stages of their development.

Even though Im an xbox guy, I used to have ps1/2, so dont forget you'll get a BluRay player with the ps3!
