&lt;p&gt;pros: Nice Community, HALO, gEARS, controller considered great.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;cons: online fees, red ring, very fragile system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PS3&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;pros: Free online gaming, UNCHARTED, lITTLEBIGPLANET, sturdy system with low failure rate&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;cons: bad Community, (CAMPERS, NOOBS)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I prefer the PS3, for the feeling and sturdiness of the controller, but whatever. &amp;nbsp;I think they are both great systems. &amp;nbsp;I just don&amp;#39;t like fees, and the fragility of XBOX.&lt;/p&gt;

Even though I do not have a PS3 (I have a 360 and Wii), I would say if you want great single player games then go with the PS3. If you want a great mulitplayer games and an even better online experience, then go with the 360 because it has more features. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They are great at their own things.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PS3&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-free online &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-great exclusive titles&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-Blu-ray player&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-web browser&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Xbox 360&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-pay for online (I&amp;#39;ve been a gold member for 2 years and it really doesn&amp;#39;t bother me because you definitely get what you pay for.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-also has great exclusive titles&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-DVD player (It&amp;#39;s still fine, but from what I have heard, Blu-ray is the way to go.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-sadly no web browser (The xbox does have twitter, facebook, and Last.fm capabilities, though.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For me, it really came down:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-what exclusive titles do I want to play?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-what console do the friends that I want to play with have?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Official &amp;quot;What Console Should I Get&amp;quot; Thread</title><link>http://www.gameinformer.com/thread/231388.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Mar 2010 04:20:19 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">79ef0c18-1c65-4225-984f-fdaeab0f0862:231388</guid><dc:creator>Aqua152</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;You have to ask yourself what kind of games and what game franchises you like because they will give you a clear idea regarding what console you want to buy. Then you ask yourself if you want to play online or not. After that, you should take a look at your budget. I&amp;#39;m sure you&amp;#39;ve already done a lot of research so you already know what you will get out of both consoles. As soon as you&amp;#39;ve done all that, it&amp;#39;s really easy to choose. In case it&amp;#39;s still a big problem, then saving up and buying both.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
