Xbox 360 or PS3 and why?

Which console is better Xbox 360 or PS3, and why? I am doing my final speech on why the Xbox 360 is a better console, but I need a few more examples :) Thanks!

Update:

Lol, I own a 360 Elite, and in my opinion, 360 is far better. The controller for one thing is more comfortable, you can customize the Xbox with different templates if you wish, the PS3 Slim looks like a sandwich maker...the hardware is easy to remove, don't need a screwdriver, the graphics and GPU are all around better and cleaner. I don't mind paying for XBL, it's worth it..and there are too many avatars with the PS3, they all seem a bit unattached to the system where as the Xbox, you have a one avatar that is cohesive AND a gamer-tag that you can use everywhere not a PSN name plus another name for this and that.

Update 2:

Lol, this is not about PC's at all... And mr. smartypants I also own a PC, and PC Gaming...but that's an entirely different argument.

    So unlike the other answers I shall give you some more examples:

    DLC is usually released on Xbox 360 first

    Personally I think it has a better user interface (dashboard)

    It's cheaper

    The controller has a much better ergonomic design (fits with the body/hands better)

    Neither, thats like saying "Piece of sh it A is better than Piece of sh it B. Re-write your speech.

    My PC is 6 years old and more powerful and faster than the Xbox and PS3 combined and costed me only 500 dollars. I have thousands upon thousands of games i can choose, all of which are google search away. I can play the first Atari, the classic Mario, the first Far Cry to the new Battlefield, all of which for free if i wanted. Im not limited to the games of a single console. I get free DLC, upgrades, mods, as well as community made custom-content. I have over 100 pushable buttons that could be used to control a game while a controller only has about 10. This not even including the accuracy and solidity of the controls on a mouse and keyboard and lack of 12 year olds screaming into the microphone. AND i dont have to pay to use my own internet to play games

    Hah most of your comment are inaccurate.

    Avatars aren't cared about on PSN.

    I don't know what the hell you play that you need another account.

    Older 3rd party games look better for the Xbox because developers ported the games to the ps3 rather quickly but Sony has released better sdk for devs.

    The ps3 blows the Xbox in graphics just look at 1st party games. 3rd party games don't count because devs rather have an quick and easy development for money than waste time perfecting for one console.

    Who cares how a console looks like, it's how it runs.

    And the ps3 controller is far more comfortable, the only issue lies with shoot her games that's the only place the Xbox controller shines.

    But nice troll.

    PS3. I own the 360 and it honestly sucks. You have to pay to play online and the console breaks all the time! I have the slim and its supposed to be "whisper quiet" and its louder than a jet! The only positive thing i can think of is that if you want to talk to your friends who aren't in the same game you can only do that on the xbox's "party chat".

    Yeah you have to pay for xbox but ps3 doesn't have its own system connection where you only connect to the hub for online players. Ps3 is connected with the internet world wide web and thats how they got hacked. Xbox360 pay for the 1 year on ebay for $35 and your good. Seriously I like xbox360 better. Good luck

    Ps3, you have to f*cking pay for the 360. Plus it's not better, that's just what people who bought the 360 say because they are embarrassed that they bought the 360.-_-

    Source(s): Plus, I bet you don't even play, otherwise you wouldn't have to ask.
