    I think you should get an xbox. XBL is worth the money you have to pay because it doesn't lag. Also, Sony has been experiencing many problems lately, and it's probably best to play it on the safe side and get an xbox. If it's the games you want, ps3 has lbp, uncharted, and xbox has halo. There's more too! I wouldn't recommend a wii if you're an intense gamer because it's mainly meant for younger kids. It's a great system for young people though! Hope you'll come to a good decision!

    Well the answer is all too obvious. PS3 got hacked, and has been crashing nonstop. And credit cards have been getting stolen through the psn.

    Sure Xbox Live is a monthly fee, but if ten dollars a month is too much for you then you can't afford to game anyway. (55 usd for a year) Plus 10 usd for being able to play online with anyone, and stay in contact with friends, plus the myriad of options you get just for being a member, I'd say ten usd is worth it. Plus, the players on the fps' games on the 360 are better than the ps3 players. Also, COD games get map releases a month and a half before the psn does. If you get a xbox live lemme know, im RaunchyRam.

    Source(s): 360 owner since release. Owned a PS3 got rid of it 3 months before the hack. I own a Wii, but I just use it to play retro games.

    It depends.

    --PS3--

    Pros: Better hardware, Blu-Ray player and can play CDs. It has good exclusives like GT5. Also, the network connection is free. Plus, it doesn't break as much, good graphics.

    Cons: Costs more, less people online (Not much of a difference but still), less feature and customization in certain areas, such as no music while playing some games.

    --XBOX360--

    Pros: Costs less, more features/customization, good graphics, good exclusives such as HALO, more people online.

    Cons: Breaks easily, XBOX Live is 80$ a year, I think it overheats a lot too.

    --Wii--

    Pros: Family Console, wireless controls (Wii remote, but then again the other consoles have these too, but they cost extra), cheapest Next Gen console, more know games such as Mario games.

    Cons: Worst graphics, not for so good for gamers, worst connectivity (a lot of games have to go through the Nintendo server, which could make them WAY slower), least social features, no good microphones.

    I'm pretty sure there are WAY more but I think I got the most important ones.

    Add me if you get a PS3. PSN: Yuj708

    Xbox 360

    -Best online experience although you have to pay

    -Kinect Compatible

    -Shouldnt come out with a updated console for a long time

    -More Features (Netflix, Hulu, etc)

    -Sony is coming out with a new console so a PS3 would become outdated. Also their online system is laggy and has been hacked a couple of times along.

    -The Wii just doesnt compare to game selection, graphics, competitiveness, online experience, and with the Xbox Kinect, the Wii is obsolete.

    I have all 3

    Xbox is good, but it sucks to pay to play online

    PS3 I love. Plus it the games inFamous which are PS only

    Wii is well it's fun for certain games, but honestly I don't play it much because it's get boring and I have had shoulders because of the Army and it's hard to play
