READ PLZ;
Im looking for several things,
1, Reliability, (my 360 suffered the red ring of death lights, so i don't want that happening)
2, Free to play online, (I know the 360 fails epically here, is the PS3 free to play online??)
3, Mod-ability, (The Classic Xbox could be modded, can it be done to the 360 or PS3, if so elaborate please..)
4. Hardware Specifications, (basically what is the best in terms of Ram and CPU)
Thanks all

Xbox 360 in my opinion, here's why
1. Reliability: Gonna have to say PS3 on this one. PS3s can fail, but not as often as the 360. That being said, the 360's RROD is fixed for free regardless of having warranty or not.
Winner:PS3
2.Online: PS3 is free online, and Xbox isn't. Live membership is only $50 a year, but trust me, Live is better. PSN there are virtually no people with mics, and there are about half as many people on PSN as there are on Live. Not to mention that Live gets a lot of exlcusive add-ons for games and they usually get map packs before PSN does.
Winner: Xbox 360
3. Modding: PS3 has absolutely no modding whatsoever. 360 kicks its *** right here.
Winner: 360
4: Hardware: I'm not a big hardware buff, but it doesn't take a genius to figure out that most games just look a little bit better on the 360. Don't believe me? Take a look at this: http://www.gamespot.com/features/6242816/index.html?tag=topslot;thumb;5
MW2 and Resident Evil 5 are the most noticable.
Winner: 360
PS3: 1/4
360: 3/4
Winner: 360
360 is winner in my opinion, but after you get a 360 and a couple of good games, I'd get around to getting a PS3. I enjoy playing PS3 exclusives, but when it comes down to a multi-platform game I usually go with the 360 version.
Oh, and just to let you know Dino B is obviously a PS3 fanboy trying to pretend he has a 360 so he doesn't seemed biased.

Look mate Don't listen to any of the others coz they're gonna complain and get pissy about which one is better the truth is there is only one way you decide which one is better... and tht is by preference The PS3: has superior graphics to the xbox 360 and with the Blu-Ray discs that can hold up to 50GB of memory on a single sided disc which means bigger games and more detailed graphics. Plus you get to have a Games console AND a Blu-Ray Player which I must say is worth while. The Xbox 360: Although not being able to keep up with Sony's Blu-Ray Disc Capabilities, I surely makes up for in online features. The online features are Downloadable Games (Arcade, Community, Demo, Retro, Retail), Online Play (The online play on the xbox 360 is amazing and people don't give it enough credit), Avatars (Avatar Store, Avatar Rewards), Facebook, Twitter, FM Radio (its not exactly radio but you can pick an artist and the first song will be of tht artist and the rest will be similar artists... its mainly for finding new artists with the same sound as your favourite), Sky Player and a Weekly feed (of updates on new games, strategies, FAQ's) I have both, so i can give you an honest answer PS3: Flashy, Detailed, Best For Graphics and 100% Smooth Running Games Xbox 360: Simple, Straight to the point, Best for Online Play Both for fun Think of it this way... Xbox 360: P.C PS3: Mac Most people would get the Mac/Ps3 if they could afford it because it is stylish, but since they can't they stick with the P.C/Xbox 360

Xbox 360
Reliability - I have had one xbox 360 is 4 years and only got the RROD once .. I had a ps3 for a month and I got the yellow light of death in 2 weeks
Online - Ps3 is free to play online but the service is wack compared the the 360 .. 360 gets more updates faster service and better service.. you know how the saying goes - you get what you payed for
Mod-ability - Xbox 360 flashing is easy visit xbox360iso.com to find out more takes under an hour.. PS3 I havent heard anything about modding
Hardware - I dont know but to be honest PS3 has better graphics than the 360 by a lot the graphics are much sharper even without a HD tv

I own both the xbox 360 and PS3 and honestly only play games on the 360 but for me the main reason is the 360 controller feel. IMO the PS3 also suffers from some longer mid game loading delays than I noticed with the 360. Graphics on both consoles are amazing. I also think that Xbox 360 has a much better online experience than the PS3.
I'll say this on the 360 red ring of death. I had this happen on two consoles. One was replaced while under warranty, the other just happened in June this past year so I purchased another one with the new Jasper chip. New one runs much quieter than the older models - doesn't sound like the unit is going to explode when the disc starts spinning.

well the xbox 360 does get the red rings a few times, but i've had one sense it's been out and only gotten the red rings two times, plus microsoft fixes the red rings for free even if your warranty is out and it really doesn't take long for them to fix it and ship it back to you. Online play is 50 dollars a year but it's the best online community out their, more people have xbox live then online with the PS3 and Wii. The xbox 360 can be modded. I think the 360 is a much better console all around, everybody that has a PS3 has told me they regret buying the thing, but i'm sure their are a lot of people who like and enjoy their PS3. But for me when it comes to consoles its all about the exclusive titles and online community and i'm a huge fan of halo and the gears series.
