PS3 or Xbox 360?

Gears of war is an excellent game to. Security is everything. Xbox has way better security to

Xbox for sure, better security, games, online experience. Only thing it lacks is blu-ray, but who really watches blu-ray movies on their PS3 anyway.

Xbox is better

Keep in mind that PS3 games are also made on blu-ray disks which can hold up to 25-50gb of storage where the traditional dual layer dvd that xbox uses holds about 9gb, which allows making bigger and better games. Uncharted 3 for PS3 just hits the maximum storage on the blu-ray which is around 50gb which is why you probably won't see it on xbox 360, and uncharted 3 is one of the coolest games i've ever played in my life.

About Security: Don't put credit cards on your console if you can't trust the online world

Bare in mind also Naughty Dog are owned by Sony, and the Uncharted IP belongs to Sony and the chances are the data is not compressed.

Lol what, Xbox Live has security flaws like PSN. Gears of war might be a good game, but it doesn't alone justify purchasing a console and the things you stated in the previous post was purely opinion apart from the bluray. And just saying, I only purchase blurays now (but I barely buy any sort of film or TV series, infact it's 3 Doctor Who boxsets, all of Torchwood and Transformers 2).

Btw, about the security stuff - if the Pentagon can be hacked, so can Xbox Live. Just sayin'....

xbox 360 ftw

I'm a PS3 fan, and I really feel PS3 is sleeker. Xbox 360's menu is not refined enough, and certain games on PS3 have extra features (Final Fantasy XIII is one of them) that just make playing so much more fun.
If you really are serious about playing with your friends however, get an Xbox, if more are there.
Ultimately the most popular console is the Wii

They're both great consoles, they both have ups and downs. I would say get a PS3 first, and then get an xbox 360!

Of course it can, nothing is 100% safe from hacking, but that shouldn't be a factor thats taken into consideration when buying a console, unless it has a history of security breaches.

PS3 for me although I mainly use mine for DVD/Blu- Ray (well will when I get a better TV) and online content. They are easy to overheat though, not sure about the xbox.

I was looking at an xbox once and my mate said he had one and found Halo was really at the time the only thing that kept most people buying it (personal opinion I know).

I would say that yeah an Xbox might not have been hacked recently or whatever but Sony knows where it went wrong and knows how to protect next time, does Microsoft?

At school I'm fighting a losing battle because these people know nothing about technology/computers/consoles and therefore cannot see past the fact that "Xbox is better". According to them a writer in PS3 magazine admitted that Xbox had better graphics, how can that be when a more detailed/better game can be put on to a Blu-Ray disc and not on to the regular DVD's that xbox's use.
