It depends what games you want. If you want games which you can easily play with family/friends without getting all confused; Go for the Xbox 360. If you want something which is so ridiculously shiny, go for the PS3. :) I have an xbox 360 and I'm gonna be honest with you, my first 360 broke. It sucks I know but I waited a week or so and ta-dah I have a new Xbox 360 and it never crashes, breaks or anything like that.
Personally though, I'd just save your money for May-June time as the 360 Elite will be coming out (A black 360, very cool) and it's got a new processor and everything to better the PS3. :) Oh and to all the PS3 boys out there saying about how their graphics are amazing, here's some news to you:
Consoles are about games, not graphics.
That my 360, PS3 and Wii friends, is where most next-gen consoles will fail; They'll forget about playability and go for the graphics.
Seriously just go for the 360, it may be a risky choice with all the negativity around it with crashing and such, but if you're lucky then you'll get a good one like I did.. Or just wait for the 360 upgrade ^_^
Ps. PS3 boys, 4D graphics don't exist :rolleyes:
