    Well...everyone's taste is different so i'll just list the pros and cons here!

    Xbox 360 pros:

    Has a wider field of games and excellent online access and features. New XB 360's are now much more reliable then before! Slightly better graphics, especially with sports games.

    Xbox 360 cons:

    Internal disc drive can only play games and DVD's only. Cannot play Blu-ray discs.

    PS3 pros:

    Internal disc drive is Blu-ray compatible(as well as DVD). And games too of course!

    PS3 cons:

    Not as reliable since the price drop!

    Plasma TV's = higher "native" contrast ratios. Blacker blacks, whiter whites and most vivid and rich looking colors. Also have highest response times(.001ms)...ideal for gaming and sports. Highest refresh rates(600hz)...ideal for film based(24p) movies.

    LCD(LED) = higher contrast ratios then standard LCD TVs but still lower then Plasma. Response times and refresh rates equal to standard LCD. 2ms response...240hz refresh rate. Lightest and thinnest HDTV as well as the most energy efficient! (Note: if going the LED route...be sure to get a local dimming LED, not the edge-lit kind! Edge-lit LED TVs have crappy picture qualities!)

    LCD(Standard) = mediocre contrast ratios. 2ms response times...240hz refresh rates at best.

    If i was you, i'd go for a Xbox 360 and a Panasonic Plasma TV. Panasonic is the most reliable and best performing HDTV brand out there!

    Hope this helps!

    XBOX 360 is the better choice! While the colors look better on the PS3, it only puts out 16 frames per second as opposed to the xbox's 24 frames per second. This means you'll get a higher quality picture from the xbox 360. Not to mention that xbox live is way better than playstation online. Although playstation online is free, the xbox live services costs $49.99 a year. I know that this fact may turn you away from the xbox 360 but it only comes down to $4.16 a month. Also, the xbox 360 has a wider and better game selection, in my opinion. As for the tv selection, LED is the newer technology so I would recommend going for that. Along with the fact that it uses led backlighting instead of a reguler bulb that burns out, It's way more energy efficient. If you're looking for a lower price tv, Vizio sells the same tvs as every other company for half the price. I would highly recommend going for a tv with at least 120hz and 1080p, especially for gaming and sports. Now if you consider getting a blu-ray player in the near future(worth it!), blu-ray is played in 1080p so you might as well get the better tvs for the future. If you'd like to know anymore information concerning the 360(pricing, accessories, hard drive, features, and warranty information, etc.) or tvs, just drop me an e-mail. Good luck!

    Source(s): I've always done research on everything that I buy so I know what to look for.

    The Xbox ps3 question is a touchy one but i'll try it.

    I had the same dilemma for many a minutes and decided quickly. Look at the way you play video games.

    If your a serious gamer, like to play with big boys, competitive; easy gaming with a relatively high chance of system failure go with the Xbox.

    If your a little girl or a bromosexual a-hole that wears golf caps and pink polos who plays once a week for about 30 minutes to an hour go with the PS3!

    I chose xbox

    oh and tv.... choose the one thats cheapest, honestly at this point with stupid tv names and all that garbage i dont even care anymore. If it doesnt have color problems, isnt as small as a picture frame, and has 3 colored wires who really gives a S%$@?

    hhhhhmmm, honestly my bro has 360. And it's pretty good. I'd also say plasma. It looks really nice and you can basically put it anywhere
