that why people should get ps3
unless you're a halo fanatic, i see no reason to choose 360 over ps3
heck you can play halo on a pc, if you want to play god of war you need a ps3 
E
1.)Old 360s have about 4 years warranty and a removable hard drive, so ring of death is not that big of deal.
2.) more hardcore gamers used the 360
3.)the network is 10x better then on the ps3. Yes you pay for it, but that were some of the money goes into. Try playing an EA game on the ps3.
4.)The 360 has more ram, witch they did Basicly for gears of war, but most games can benefit from it.
5.) m$ make the 360 very easy to program games on.
6.) Streaming is better.
That being say, thanks to $ony paying off everybody, blu-Ray is king. Ps3 is the best blu-ray player hands down. Plus with the update it will play 3D movies.

It really, goes back to what type of games, or things you want to do.
