I just find the ps3 online experience to be a lot lonelier than the xbox one if that makes sense. Always seems to be more fun on xbox.
Resistance : FOM managed 40 players in a single deathmatch just fine, even with my 'anarchaic' 10mb connection

360
360, but I think there are marginal differences between the two now really, although for me the online is better on the 360, prefer the controller and has got a couple of exclusive franchises such as Halo which to me are killer apps.
Either way you will be happy though I think!

Its funny isn't it when you look back on last generation & it was the PS2 that was the lead format. Funnly enough, I had an Xbox and always thought it was miles better than the PS2, but the PS2 had more games.
This time around the Xbox 360 has become a very good console & is atm the lead format for multi-format games. In a way I am gald as it lets Sony know that they can't rest on there their loralls.
I have a 360 and have done since day 1 & have had one console have 3rrod, but I wouldn't ever get a PS3 this time around its the 360 which has the best games imho... I am not a Microsoft fanboy by any means, but feel that they are really pushing gaming atm.

exactly the same for me
XBL does have better 'firmware' but its laggy and relies on P2P connections for its first party titles whereas PSN provide dedicated servers for up to 60 players lag free
Still not got it wired in yet Roy!
Cookie Xbox are more expensive when you add on all the odds and sods like wifi, live, charge and play kit etc!
I sometimes have it wired when I'm streaming 1080p content. Wired or wireless, the PSN download speeds are slow and unreliable. For me. Granted, it would be great if XBL was free, but it isn't. £35 per year doesn't make or break a console buying decision IMO.
I am surprised that some people are of the opinion that RROD is a non-issue. There's no excusing the fact that it's poor engineering. They fix it. Great but, let's not pretend it isn't a pain in the ass having to have it fixed or replaced.
Personally, I'd be more gutted if my PS3 broke, because I use it far more than the xbox.
Back on topic (sort of). At the end of the day people use these consoles for differnet reasons. In the classic context of a games console, if you want to play Forza 3 and Uncharted 2, you need both machines. Fact

Got a launch PS3 and played it a little, only used it for blurays, now it rarely gets used. Only to watch the odd BluRay. Bought a 360 the November of that year as wanted to play Forza online. Best purchase I ever made gaming wise, got it second hand off eBay, (launch console) it RROD'd about a year later and got a free replacement so not too bad really! Play the xbox at least once a week and most friends have the 360, except one, who then went and bought one too for the online gaming.
As a games console, Xbox 360 wins!

Roy the little trigger extenders you can buy in Game for £3 really do improve it no end.
Do they reposition the dildos and make the whole controller fit in the hands ergonomically?
No
I have a 360. Also have a Wii, a PSP, PS2 and Original Playstation.

The PS3 is an entire entertainment system.. the 360 plays games.. sometimes.. when its not broken again official figures are around 55% failure rate but I still think that's optimistic.. every xbox I have owned and about 10 people I know that have owned 360's have either had single or multiple failures.
The smart ones bought a PS3 after that. It's just so much more refined.

ps3 all the way, noisy errr no. it has killzone,uncharted, and soon god of war 3 amongst others. A BETTER CONTROLLER.lol.i dont have to pay billgates salary with live.Im an old skool gamer. i dont believe in paying for playing online.However if enough 360 owners keep supporting microsoft then im sure they will dominate,then woooo they charge you whatever they like with no competition.oh and bluray, and better reliabilty, better looking.errrm abit more of grown up machine really.i think thats all.lol
