No trying to start a flame war, but lately I have been neglecting my 360.
For the record, I have owned a ps1, ps2, xbox and many, many 360's so I'm not a shill by any means. And for serious gaming, I prefer my eyefinity setup, but for casual sofa gaming...I'm loving the ps3 more.
Gamewise they are pretty much identical with the exception of exclusives (Halo & Gears versus Drakes uncharted and God of War). So that comes down to a matter of preference...but for me, halo is getting a bit tired and I prefer FPS games on a pc with a controller & mouse (I hate the keyboard and use a hybrid 360 control pad and mouse from pc gaming)....so basically the ps3 exclusives are more fun for me.
Its strange, I used to hate the ps3 controller, but now I find myself liking it much, much more as the looser analog sticks don't fatigue my thumbs like the xbox controllers do. This makes a huge difference for me when I play three hour NHL 12 benders.
Third the internet browsing capability of the PS3 is getting better and better. True its not as good as the pc, but it serves a purpose and its pretty sweet to go from gaming to surfing on the fly. I cannot believe the 360 still does not offer a browsing interface...which comes in real handy when your layin in bed and wanna check something out real quick, without the hassle of booting up a pc or laptop. I love the ability to game, surf, and then jump back into a game.
I know the 360 has slight graphical advantages, but they are not enough to override the benefit of the ps3's web surfing and blueray player.
Yes, xbox live is good, but PSN is almost as good and its free. When playing coop games on two different systems, I don't have to purchase another yearly plan with the PS3 and that is huge for me.
I dunno, anybody else an xbox to ps3 convert? Don't get me wrong, I cannot wait for Halo CE Anniversary on the 360 but thats it really.
If you could only have one console what would it be?
