xbox is better. There is really no argument. If you're looking at buying a GAMES console, and are not looking at playing games then there are far greater things available than the Xbox or the PS3. For playing games, for the reasons everyone has stated above - the xbox is better. Even if you're daft and think the PS3 is better, you'll only think it is slightly better. If you're working on that mentality then it is slightly better, but way cheaper for the console and all the games. Notice Xbox has come up with Kinect to open up a new market? What has PS3 come up with? I love Sony - but I'm sorry, they'll never keep up with Microsoft. The only edge they had on them before was experience in consoles. Microsoft has now superseded them.
