I'd like to add my 2 cents.
I got a PS3 (Free

) because most of my mates had them, so it was only second nature i aspired to get one.
Unlike most, this was actually my first major console, so I have no past experiences with the XBOX 1 and PS1 and 2, so I am quite open minded about both consoles.
Ive played the 360 and PS3 and can say both are great consoles, both have great individual features that make them individual consoles. The 360 is a gamers consoles and caters for alot of the gaming stuff etc.
However, im not a pure gamer and have used my PS3 as more than a gaming machiene, I stream my media and use the browser now and then when i cba to get my lappy. Also, I use my PSP with it with the remote play function.
I reserve no judgement for both consoles. Although, I enjoy the PS3 more because I guess im not a pure gamer like some, and enjoy the entertainment aspect the PS3 has to offer.
Also, im not too sure what people mean by the 360 'has a better online experience' ive played COD4 on both systems and it seems the same to me, maybe im missing something
Just my opinion
(Also Simibean join my party on COD4. Ive got good with the MP5

)
