I ended up not buying anything because I was so impressed. That said, I haven't played a PS3 yet either, so.........Here are my thoughts, and what I want in a gaming system (Wildbob please throw your opinion in here).

I play mostly sports games. The NCAA Football series is the best, imo, and pretty much want the best gaming system for that game. That said....

I've heard Xbox 360's online system is far superior to PS3's. That's pretty huge if I want to play somebody else.

The blu-ray thingy is a plus on the PS3, but my wife and I don't watch many movies anyway so it's not that big of a plus. Maybe if we had it we'd watch more movies? Our TV is badass enough to turn our living room into a movie theater btw.

I like being able to get on the web using the PS3. Is it just like using a laptop on a bigger screen? If so that's cool, but I already have a laptop so maybe not...

I've heard that for sports games (thanks Wildbob last year), and maybe any other game, that Xbox has a faster processor than PS3. Truth still?

I don't play first person shooter type games. I will buy GTA4, though, so I can kick the shit out of people.





Any thoughts would be appreciated. I don't care if you're a fanboy for either system, help me buy the best one!

Thanks.
