This a no brainer xbox 360 has achievements, money Tournaments, xbox live which has more shit to the game than ps3(see GTAIV online more depth), more games, better games, leads any console with competative gaming with better gamers playing it. . If you worried about your shit fuckin up get an Elite. Ps3 only has bluray only thing keeping it moving, xbox will eventually come out with a seperate player for the movie buffs. but im a gamer my shit is for gaming. Im coo so far with my hd dvd it does the job.
