I agree with this to an extent. I'm also one of the few here that owns both. If it's a multi-platform game, I'll get the 360 version everytime because of the controller, as well as DLC many times being exclusive or out far before. I despise the PS3 controller. All my friends/family have 360's with nobody having gotten the RROD, so good luck on our parts I guess. If I could mod the PS3 to allow me to use the 360 controller, it'd get more playtime instead of being a Bluray player.I understand where youre coming from, I just keep bringing it up because this is a what to buy thread. the person who started this thread does not have any games for either system. You shoot down the PS3 because you already have games for the 360 and like the controllers better.
I only point out fan boy because you were quick to write off the PS3 based on saying you played it, not listing any games, and were able to write it off.
Again to the OP, both systems are good, main downside to the 360 is the system is a piece of shit that blows up at random. the upside is xbox live.
PS3 downside is the play station network while free is not as good as xbox live, the upside is a better system hardware wise.
Controllers do play a big role, some people like 360 controllers others like the PS3 controllers, its not a make or break deal but it does play a role in what system to buy.

I'll have to look into that(and get a wired controller). I had heard about a hack if running Linux that allows you to use a wired controller, but supposedly wouldn't actually wotk with PS3 games.XCM Cross Battle Adapter Plus
I've yet to get a RROD, my drives keep failing or the system just locks up and throws up an error code. So far it's all been under warranty but its still a PITA.

If you're a woman, or child, the controller is fine. But it feels like Fischer-Price made it, it's tiny, not ergonomic, the sticks have no resistance, they just suck.I've taken everyone's opinions into consideration and I expected that people would have preferences and dedication to a certain system. Each has their own fan base or "fan boys" as Jeffie calls them.
As some of you had said that the controller was the selling point, I just don't see how such a small thing as a controller would be the difference.
I really liked the performance of the PS3 and Blu-ray player, and honestly, I probably would have bought one if corvetteguy didn't offer me such a good price for his 360
All in all, I am happy with my purchase though. I can see why you all love your 360s and I have already beaten Assassin's Creed, Guitar Hero:WT, and a good bit way through Oblivion (long ass game).
I'll buy a PS3 eventually because I think that the 360 will be heading toward the end of its lifeline within the next couple of years and the PS3 is just BEGINNING its capabilities.
Thanks for all the input guys. Continue the bickering
