360 or PS3?

StarGeezer

I have both and love both for different reasons. XBox has a better community vibe going, with regular video updates/programs on a nearly daily basis. PS3 has a cleaner front-end UI, and more successfully bridges the gap between game machine and all-media center. I like the exclusive franchises on both platforms, which is why I own both.

As others have said, we'll probably be getting rumblings of the next-gen platforms at E3 in a few months, so hold off if you can. Chances are, retailers will start dropping the prices on both after the announcements.

Fellow gamers,

I haven't had a console since my PSX, back in high school. Since then, I've been focused on PC gaming. My current machine is going on 3 years now (thankfully, it should still hold up against Diablo 3 quite nicely), and I think I'm going to make the switch to console for budgetary reasons. For the price of another gaming laptop, I could get a console for my gaming needs and a tablet + keyboard for my mobile needs.

So! What are your thoughts on which 7th-gen to get? If I got the 360 I'd definitely get the Kinect as well, even if it made me rearrange my living room. I also have little to no interest in Blu-Ray. Given these, is the 360 the way to go? Are there PS3 exclusives that are simply must-haves?

So, after all this data and suggestions, which will you go for?!
You have to tell us!

Haha, thanks everyone for your suggestions! I think I'm leaning toward the 360, but I'll probably hold off until after E3. I think Microsoft said they're not unveiling anything, but I've got plenty on PC to keep me busy until autumn with Diablo 3, Skyrim, and the upcoming Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition. If prices drop after E3, I'll probably bite then.

its all about the PS3 for starters you have the uncharted series. and the superior network, which if you already have the net you dont have to pay extra for like on the xbox.

I've been a PS fan since Sony created the console, but I've also had a 360. Right now, I'm hooked on my PS3.

360 with the Kinect. Personally my brother had the PS3 and the MOVE stuff for his wife to get some movement, it got used for a blu-ray player and they both got Gym memberships. With the 360 there is more selection for the Kinect, if you upgrade your desktop the Kinect is going to be allowed to connect into Windows 8(can connect now with Windows 7 and the SDK) and with games like Your Shape Evolved and Star Wars Kinect(comes out Tuesday), it just flat out rocks.
