xbox 360 with Xbox Live wins hands down. more games to purchase, free downloadable game demos, netflix streaming, media center built in, ... trust me you won't get bored at all.

I got a feeling I'm only going to buy maybe 10 games over a year or maybe even 2 years. .. unless I fall off the wagon again.

What are the must haves for the PS3 and XBox

I keep hearing Metal Gear Solid 4 is a must have... what else is hot?

Xbox 360 ftw

all i play is gta4 but you can get that on ps3 or 360

360 hands down

So far the X-Box folks seem to be dedicated.

But, the over 30 crowd seems to love the PS3's Blue Ray.


Is this a demographic thing?

Hmm...

I did my shopping and hands down the XBOX 360 was the best system. Graphics, sound and speed / frame rate are outstanding, especially on my 52" Plasma and THX sound system. The LIVE experience is great too. Downloads are fast, and there's always lots of new content and games to download and try / buy. Plus it syncs with my server for instant music and videos. What more could you want?

xbox 360 for sure!

If you like fps games, go for
Call of Duty - Modern Warefare
Battlefield - Bad Company (Awsome online)

and Forza Motorsport2 if you like driving
GTA4 is also awsome!

well, if you want amazing graphics in HD the xbox 360 or ps3 is where to go since the wii is not HD at all.. 480p is the best you will get with it and no dolby digital. (composite video and regular rca plug for audio) The wii is technically is a whole other league. Personally, I would got the the 360. It had tons of good games, HD, dolby digital etc. etc.

Sure, the 360 doesn't have a blue ray player, but that doesn't make it a bad console. Many will say that the PS3 is much more powerful, but that's crap. My brother owns a ps3 and I've compared some of the games that are on both the 360 and ps3 and there's not a real difference graphically. The only thing different, like I mentioned, is the fact that the ps3 has a blue ray player.

I have my 360 doing 1080p on my 46 inch lcd tv using an hdmi cable.

There's not that much of a difference on upconverted dvds. There is some, but nothing amazing

Live makes the 360 even more fun

if you want great graphics the wii is not the way to go. It make look ok, but don't expect anything amazing. It will not do HD (480p max), will not do digital audio and has the power that the very first xbox had pretty much. The wii is not about the graphically intense gaming. It's more of a family fun type thing.

That's like saying "I got an iPod, what music should I get for it?"

Depends what sort of games you like...
