Defo the Xbox 360.
Better controller, better online, cheaper packages with games and controllers, and a 3yr warranty if you get the RROD or the E74 error, but I am seeing alot of PS3s dying from things like the YLOD, not reading discs etc out of the 1yr warranty and Sony will not fix them for free!
I just picked up from Argos:
* XB360 Elite 120GB Console
* Extra Official Black Controller
* Forza 3
* NFS:Shift
* Fifa 10
* Free Fifa Football (with Fifa game)
* Free Bush Gold HDMI cable
* £10 Gift Card
all for £194.77! Great bargain 😀
I cant understand why people make a big deal about the wireless adaptor on the 360 being an extra purchase as I always hard wire my online console which costs me about £6 for a decent Belkin cable, and the inbuilt wireless on the PS3 isn't all that anyway, especially now that network protocols are being updated and changed.
Multiplats are widely recognized as being better on the 360, better frame rates, less or no screen tearing (and yes I can tell even without a 360 sat next to the PS3, just look at some youtube vids to see) and generally better graphics.
The main thing to look for is the exclusives, they may sway you one way or the other, but for me I chose the XB360.
Let us know what you go for 😀
