Both have pros, both have cons...
Xbox has better online, but also has a high failure rate (but that's getting worked on)
Ps3 has blu-ray, free online play...
Of course there's more to both of them, but I couldn't be arsed to write them down...
You'd be better to find out some console exclusive games and decide off that

I'd go for the 360. This year is supposed to have some pretty awesome exclusives.
PS3 if you like strong single player yet free online. Xbox 360 if you like strong multiplayer but paid online.
P.S. The paid online isn't actually that bad. $50 a year isn't that much.
P.P.S. The PS3 still has good online, just isn't quite as large and community based as the Xbox's is.

Isn't Fable on the PC though making everything okay?SAMwich said:
Because the 360 doesn't have exclusives. It just has stuff that get sent to PC.
Get a PS3. You're looking at some pretty awesome games, Blu-Ray, free online, and less annoying brats with mics that shouldn't be playing that M rated shooter. >.> The only real accessories you'd have to buy is a mic(maybe; stupid PS3 eye if you get Burnout Paradise) and a couple controllers, a charging dock maybe if your computer doesn't have any open USB ports. While if you get a 360, you're looking at I guess the same thing, minus Blu-Ray, free online and built in Wi-Fi device plus $50 for Gold Sub for a year I think.
Generally they both have the same things, PS3 we have to wait longer on DLC(three days except for the two weeks where it doesn't update because of the holidays[Christmas]), Netflix is on both(I could care less seeing as both I think have a Video store) and they both have some pretty cool downloable games.
alright here we go. ive owned both. given both a fair chance.
PS3? the graphics are slightly better the online is free atm, and it some cool exclusives, it also has bluray. on the other hand, the online sucks, it freezes a lot, you cant do half the things the 360 does, you cant cross game chat with your buddies, you have to buy mics separately, and it just doesnt have as many good games.
360? imo this is the way to go, the graphics are pretty much the same, except some exclusives the PS3s look somewhat nicer. the online is amaaaazzzzinggggggg. it does just about anything you could want, the games are great, the controller is better etc. its just overall a better and more fun system. cons? i dont see many for this system, except its failure rate, which actually has dropped like crazy over the last year. i rarely hear of 360 red ringing anymore. i guess Microsoft got on its crap and found some kind of fix. you do pay for online but its like 60 bucks a year, and theres rarely lag unless its mw2 and you just get an all around better thought out online experience. it also doesnt have blu-ray, oh and the controllers take batteries, unlike the built in ps3 rechargeable pack thing. but really, just go out and buy one of the play and go charge kits or w/e its called.

This for the PS3, though, it depends on your internet connection. The better the connection, the better the online. It's all a matter of the range of Wi-Fi accessibility.
Usually, within a certain radius, no matter how strong your connection is, the system will eventually cut the connection.

Those are based on the lengths by five lines. Each line would represent how good the range is, or how far it would go. I've played all three and my cousin owns all three. The Wii was made for mainly "Family Play", so, consequently, the online sucks. The PS3 was meant for graphics, blue-ray, and gaming, but not too much online except for maybe DLC and some co-op, i.e. Little Big Planet. The XBOX360, on the other hand, was not only made for the multi-player, but an awesome online as well.
Depends on what you're looking for. If it's graphics and good games, PS3. If it's good games and epic online, XBOX360, (assuming) you already have a Wii, if you don't, then get it if you want sucky online, poor graphics, and a chance to play GameCube games that are better than most current Wii Games.
