Originally by: Epegi Givo Moral of this story:
Get a PS3
Why?
To be fair they're looking more reliable than 360's, so far, a friend has had a hdd problem with his PS3 that couldn't be resolved so he bought a new hdd and had to start from scratch with his games.
I've got both, the 360 mainly because of friends and the PS3 was an impulse buy as I was looking for a blu ray player at the time, I like them both but prefer the PS3, taste thing more than any belief in its superiority over the 360.
Had my 360 for @ 18 months, so far no problems, mind you it doesn't get as much use as the PS3.
Well i had to have my PS3 replaced under warrenty after it developed some very odd faults like restarting the console when i quit resistance 2 after a network connection error, also it liked to crash a lot, whats more it was outside of the warrenty and they still replaced it \o/
All hail sony and their non-reliance on a system that requires you to pay to play online :P

They get enough money milking peoples credit cards because of a billing error after cancling their SWG account 
SOE don't make the playstations nor do they deal with most of the online parts of the PSN, XBL however is a requirement to use proper online gaming which is what i disagree with, if i buy the console and the game i should be entitled to play it online without paying even more to the people who made the console.

For most tasks a Silver XBL account is good enough, and i believe all consoles (Or most?) come with a free lifetime silver account.
Whereas PS3 owners get access to all online features without paying after purchasing the game, another reason to boycott MS :)

The party system for a start,but i wont go on about Netflix,Xbox Live Arcade,i wont bore you with the upcoming Social networking sites Facebook and Twitter,Last.fm deal,Sky TV deal.
Instant-on 1080p HD movies with 5.1 surround sound will allow users to stream movies from the Zune Marketplace (formerly the XboxLive Video Marketplace) or Netflix instantly with no delay.
So yes whilst i do pay for my service,i pay for a vastly supierior service.
Facebook can be accessed from near enough anything with a browser, who cares about streaming movies its a games console if i wish to stream movies i use the proper tool for the job a PC, so basically you're paying for movies from what i see and not a lot else, party systems exist for games that need them, and mentioning netflix twice just to bulk out the post sheesh >.>
Sky suck ass as anything worth watching on there comes out elsewhere, as i said XBL is a ripoff of epic proportions given most of what you mention is already the norm after buying an internet connection ;)
