Playstation 3 has the new Blue Ray player built in it. Which is pretty sweet. The 360 is pretty good but if I had my choice I'd go with the PS3.

PS3! Go to a game store and play the ps3 and Xbox. See which one you like better. I like the PS3. You need to play the sports or racing games they are awesome. I wish I could afford it! I have a old crappy ps2.

I know of one bar that has a Wii upstairs on the big screen. The boxing will have you sweating! Can't you view the internet on the Wii and use the controler to point the mouse?

I like them both, They both have there advantages...so just buy both of them!

Actully, I do like the Blu-ray built in player, the xbox is a add on for HD movies. Probably the biggest issue is do you like the Titles offered on Blu-ray or HDDVD? They both offer great games, and great quality, The Xbox has had some issues, issues with PS3 is minimal. I like alot of the titles on PS3...but i've got a xbox 360 and fell in love with the games for it! My biggest thing is i like the need for speed games! only one for xbox as of yet!
