I think the Xbox is better. the games are much better than the PS3's. The only bad part is that Xbox is not free. you have to pay $50 a year (60 next year) for the online membership. i think its worth it. PS3 is free online

To me, the PS3 has far superior games. All the Xbox has is generic shooters and racing games. With the PS3 you get much more variety and higher quality exclusives.

I love XBox because of the exclusive games, mainly HALO(who can get enought of halo?) and Forza... Also the 4gb model is very affordable, same price as gay Wii.

But PS3 is more powerful and has a lower fail rate than XBox(though the slim model is said to eliminates RROD)...

The Wii isn't "gay" at all. No need to bash a console because you don't find it interesting. The Wii has a great selection of game, and their exclusives are second to none.

also, Microsoft DID get rid of RROD on the New Xbox 360 Slim............ by taking out the lights.

Let me rephrase that... Gay Wii developers... I mean look at the new Hot Pursuit for wii, 1000 times worst than NFS Most wanted on the gamecube, graphically. C'mon now, also Wii sports is so freaking outdated, you would of thought Nintendo would make a better newer Wii sports. Basically I don't like most of the games on Wii because developers don't take wii too seriously.

Also new slim XBox has better ventilation and a new chip... i Think its called the Vhallahia or something like that which consumes less power, also the XBox will shut down on the second it detects unnatural overheating =) XBox slim ftw

true, Wii's 3rd party isn't all that great, but it's 1st party (Nintendo) titles more than make up for the lack of 3rd party games.

Also, I know the new Xbox 360 is much better and less likely to break (my 60gb didn't even break once) I just wanted to point out how funny it was that they took the lights out.

I don't own either (my newest console is a Colecovision), and I don't think either of them are better than the other. They both have advantages in some areas, and someone should choose based on what advantages they want. If I were to buy one, I would probably get an Xbox 360 because I know a lot of people that play online games with them, and you can program XNA games for them.

Hey guys, I don't want to start a flame war. I just wanted to know what you thought was better and I wasn't asking about the wii, I'm 16 and the wii doesn't entertain me except Mario and Zelda and other classic titles. I'm just looking for a change in gaming and was looking at the two and couldt decide. This question, though I didn't say it, was for owners of both systems. I know there are pros a cons for both of the systems I just would like to know your thoughts.

Same here. I'm not too interested in the PS3's online, because I don't know many people who actually have one.

You just said PC sucks and wacking off is almost as good as the Wii.

I prefer the PS3 over the Xbox 360. The PS3's games are better. I don't have one, but I want one. Then I will play LBP2 with Randy

But overrall, the PC is better.

But isn't it cheating that a Thousand dollar PC beat all.... If you get a PC for about $200-300 it would fail easily among XBox and ps3 and wii.

Not just by removing the lights but by actually solving the problem which was caused by not enough ventilation which they solved by making close to half the xbox a giant vent. Also they made it so that if it should get too hot by someone leaving it on in a small enclosed space with little air flow it will shut off automatically before any real damage occurs.

Will it let you save what you're doing or just be like "**** you, I'm shutting off."?

They took the RRoD out, but it'll still RL(ight)oD.

Also, 360 > PS3, The only thing the PS3 has going for it is Blu Ray and Gran Turismo
