PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360?

I don't know which one to get. Some people say Xbox 360 is better for playing games and other people say the PS3 is better.

Which is the best for playing action/adventure games - which one has the best quality?

Thanks in advance.

    i have both consoles and like both, but i would say ps3 because blueray and also free net, and on xbox 360 just to play against friends online you would have to pay monthly to be on xbox live gold, and which i do not want to pay just to play them online as on ps3 everything is free net even to go on yahoo answers on ps3 lol and youtube and so on

    i have both consoles, the reason i got xbox 360 is because i love killing monsters lol and rpg games (role playing games) and xbox 360 has more rpg games and ps3 hardly has any. ps3 mainly army and football games. and rpg story games are more of my thing so i started to like the xbox now

    Trust me please do not make the biggest mistake of your life in buying the xbox it is the worst machine ever created it is worse than a dogs turd, it is very famous with its yellow light of death, it has something like 30% or more failure rating where the ps3 has less than 5% failure rating, the ps3 has the best blu ray player ever and the 360 doesn't even have blu ray, and trust me the picture quality in blu ray films is amazing and crystal clear, also the ps3 has a hell of a lot more games adventure games as well than the xbox has to choose from, honestly the xbox you will soon regret buying it if you do stupidly get it, as well as all that the xbox you have to pay a pathetic 50 pounds a year where the ps3 is complete and utterly free, the xbox controller uses batteries that it uses up in next to no time and the ps3 has a rechargeable battery in its Controller which can give you 4 days or more of playing without charging, any one that disagrees with me are jealous little 360 owners.

    ^^^Exclusives for each system

    Basically if you want to save more money and have a wider variety of games, PS3 is your choice.

    I also want to say that Uncharted 2 [PS3 only] will be the best action/adventure game you will ever play. It has 96/100 from Metacritic, a place which averages scores from legit reviewers. No review has given it lower than a 90, that's how good it is.

    Honestly, both are really similar to each other. it's like differentiating an Apple to Mac. But to be on the content and certain side, PS3 is the better choice. As the failure of it's hardware/system is less likely compared to the 360's. Also, the PS3 supports Blu-Ray discs AND DVD's.. While the 360, only the DVD. And trust me, Blu-Ray movies are much more alive compared to the DVD's.

    It just depends on what Console has the games you prefer because the Xbox and Play station both have 3.2 GHz CPU's they both have the same graphics card.

    But PSN is free and this has been known to LAG

    Xbox LIVE costs £40 a year but this has more features ans Sky player (UK only), and this month Twitter, Facebook and Last.Fm are all comming to LIVE

    PS3 should have the best quality but it varies depending on the game. You should really just find some action/adventure games you want to try and find out which console they are on or, if they are on both, which console has the best version.
