priced system at the time (80, 60 and 40gig) I would NEVER pay what they ask for ANY newer version of the 80gig system.

before you realize its not life and death to have.

-wireless network? If you don't have an ethernet outlet near your TV, you might want to wirelessly play games online, this will cost $80 extra for the Xbox adapter, comes built in every PS3. While were on online topic, its worth noting you have to pay Xbox $50 per year to play online, PS3's online is free.

-HDMI cable? probably have to buy one of these for less than $10 can be found at many places online. Certain models of the Xbox and PS3's may come with one, but read your boxes under contents!! if it aint listed, it probably aint inside!

-1080p ok so what they don't tell you, every Xbox360 game plays in 1080p, and only a few on PS3 do, read the back of game boxes if you don't believe me, it states on every game. Some games you litterally have to FORCE the PS3 to not see 720 in order to make the game play in 1080p, god knows why it doesn't default to 1080 but for some reason it doesn't.

-Personal Value? Ok here's a topic no one touches on, and can't put a price tag on, WHICH SYSTEMS do your FRIENDS have? If you have no friends with one of these, and 5 friends with the other, do yourself a favor and BUY the one your friends have!! You can swap games, talk about the games you play, play online and friend invite eachother, etc. I am a slight fan of one, and my friend is a slight fan of the other system, and yet we REALLY should have just bought the same systems so we could play together. We didn't and it was a mistake.

-Library of games: Fact Xbox has a larger selection, PS3's selection has grown to a sizable amount to possibly not be a factor anymore? Suggestion, browse for games, pick the system that you think has more games to your liking. Xbox IS/WAS more popular, meaning, you can probably find cheaper used games out there. Downfall? when you get rid of your old games for cash, everyone else is doing the same, you won't get as much.

-I didn't touch on the "this system can break cause mine did" junk, every electronic device in everyones house is different, people treat them different, different humidity levels in houses, pets, smoke, age of user, basic knowledge, etc etc. I won't even get into power fluxuations, voltages in houses, amps, age of wires in houses, etc. And frankly theres ALWAYS a chance that ANY item you EVER buy can break, its life, deal with it. Chances are it won't break if you treat it well, both companies have really overcome this issue in my opinion, that is what buying new gets you, vs used.

-Online network, both support movie rentals, game add ons, demos, video's, etc etc about equally.

-its worth noting on both systems they aren't so quick to tell you MANY games now days sell you the game for $60 and then release add on maps weeks later for a costly amount!! This is only my opinion but "didnt I buy this game once already??" Why did they not give the 3 maps your now selling me for $10 when I first bought the game? Oh thats right, it was probably all designed at the same time, then some developer said "lets yank out this, this and that level, and sell them later for an extra $10 and we'll throw in a gold colored gun and these dumb kids will buy it". Ok thats harsh, but not as harsh as ripping people off and not including the full product when you bought it. When you buy a car do they say come back in 3 weeks and we'll sell you the stearing wheel for an additional price! ?

-I also did not include special holiday deals you can find out there, it would be impossible to compare apples to oranges out there. I will say this, people spend 20k for a new car and spend on avg 10 min a day to and from work, and yet they fret over buying a $300 system they'll play 2+ hours a day, because one is better than the other, for goodness sakes just buy both.
