Considering I just had my third Xbox 360 die on me in a little over 4 years. I'm going to say go for the PS3. I hear their failure rate isn't quite as high as the 360's, however if you do decide to go 360 then get their new slim line version.

PS3 has more exclusive titles and you do get the satisfaction of using it as a blu-ray player (although I heard it's bad for it because the laser's activated all the time rather than in gaming when it's just activated to load up incoming content.

but the few PS3 games that I've played aren't really much good

The differences between PS3s and 360s are very little. If you're planning on playing online with friends a lot then i suggest just getting the one which most of your friends have. This was the main reason i got a PS3 over a 360.

You know why they call it Xbox 360?

Let's hear it.

Because when you see it, you do a 360 and walk away

would that not be a 180? 6_9

lol no, why don't you go back to school.

Edit: Sorry I forgot your new here. This is what i'm talking about: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=umadbro

And yes, it would be a 180.

doing a 360 means you do a circle and end up facing the box again

oh okay :)
