GTA IV, Oh Yeah!

Go with the 360, graphically, they'll be indistinguishable to the eye.  The 360, like you said will come with exclusive or downloadable content in the future.  The 360 has a better overall online service.
360 for sure.

yeah theres not a chance in hell im getting the overhyped ps3, especially since it's still a good 100-150 more than the xbox

You may be right on the XBox.

Out of curiosity, what do you like better about the PS3?  The reasons I like the XBox better are the incredible online system, better controller, comes with component cables, ability to stream video, music, and pics to my TV, and all the downoladable content.

The only thing I think the PS3 has over the XBox is FF and MGS4, which I believe it will port to the 360 anyway.

To be fair, there is also the hardware failure issure with the Xbox, but MS has done a good job at compensation for that problem.

Good point on the last one.  I forgot about God of War, too, but still believe MGS will port to the 360 in order to make money.

But I'll argue with you on the controller.  The PS3 controller feels like a cheap piece of crap, whereas the Xbox controller is just about perfect.  They  had the smarts to offset the thumbsticks so your hands fit naturally on the controller, unlike the PS3 which still aligns them horizontally.  The triggers also feel much more intuitive.  And originally, the Xbox had rumble right from the get go.

I was a Playstation nut, believe me, but the 360 controller is perfect  and destroys the PS3 one.  If you have a chance in a store, give it a try.

360 exclusive content

[ironneck]

i would love it if sony had something like "live"
i would pay for it to have a good online service,hopefully sony will realize that their online service is shit

i still prefer the ps3

I'm loyal to the Playstation generations till the end.

I've played the XBOX, and maybe because I had played the Playstation for so many years and am used to their controller that the XBOX controller felt jacked to me. After a few games I was like, 'I can't play this shit anymore.'

360 or original XBox?  The original controller for the Xbox sucked.

Going back to the PS controllers are impossible now - too light and the thumbsticks are way too loose.
