Rookie: What's better- XBox 360 or PS3?

[OmegaFenix]

Latest. 3.50 or whatever is the latest. I update whenever the newest one is available as I play online quite often.

So how is it that you can play PS2 titles?

I agree with a lot of the other guys. Its very similar, so the choice is yours. PS3's games is a lil more expensive, BUT the reason I bought a PS3 is for the blu-ray player.

Def leaning towards the PS3 because of the Blue Ray player...

Okay, final verdict is PS3....BUT it's been a tough one considering Xbox Live is now available in SA... Although just had to change this post as I see PS3 has the same features, but for FREE!?

For free...for now.

They're changing it soon if I'm not mistaken.

Disk space aside, what I find quite ironic about the PS3 is that the only selling point making it the preferred console is that it can be used as an entertainment appliance that isn't console gaming related.

It kind of reminds me of people who are all going out to buy the over priced iPhone 4. It's brilliant at everything ... except being a phone - there it happens to suck worse than most phones EVER released with its signal fiasco.

Also heard a few bad things about the iphone 4, looks like I will get a BB for my upgrade

Although my 3G is still going strong.
