I'm new to this console gaming stuff, but as a geek, heres what I've seen. Ive had my playstation 3, and my brother in law a xbox for about a month now. For me everything just worked out the box. My first problem I have with the xbox, is the lack of build in wireless. There is this need to register and then have to download codecs, in order to user the multimedia side of watching movies. As with the wireless .. why is it not built in.
The gaming side. I do see there is a greater support and variety for the xbox. Other than that, I think the playstation console, has more sleekier and mature feel to it. Im sure there's other reasons why I think, I get greater value for the money I spent. and really just plain simplicity and easiness , than I would if I had an Xbox, but im sure too, everyone's mileage varies
Seeing as I don't have an xbox, I say Playstation rules!!!
I guess growing up Final Fantasy and Resident Evil was usually out in Playstation first. I have grown attached to PS.
I also love my handheld PSP ... I wonder if XBOX will come out with a handheld gaming system.
Methinks you are forgetting that the PSP is not the last word in handheld gaming systems, but that's a topic for another thread.![]()

I personally think each one has its own appeal - depending on what you want to do.
I have a Xbox and enjoy it thoroughly, but recently I decided I also want to buy a PS3...
PS3's game list was very limited a year or so back, but since then it has really improved.
Blueray is nice IF you buy/rent BD movies, if not then it has no use.
Xbox Live is better than PSN according to what I hear even though you have to pay.
so yeah, i'd say its just personal preference mostly.
I feel you - was my thoughts exactly.
I bought it mid last year and haven't played it again since.
At that stage we did play a bit of the co-op campaign and it was more enjoyable with a buddy. But coming from FPS PC gaming, Halo is def not comparable and I dont see the mass appeal...
Though the stats dont lie, and ppl still playing it and hailing it as king.
But Halo aside, even though console exclusive titles are the decision maker for some people, I work more on a value proposition...
At the time I bought my xbox it had the greatest value vs enjoyment (nr of games I wanted) - PS3 didnt.
As I previously said, now the PS has some very nice games so i'm considering getting one.
