PS3 or Xbox 360

[Hrithan2020]

Unless u are very desperate to play some xbox-360 exclusive games,(Halo 3,Gears of War,Forza 2 which usually comes out on pc),buy a ps3.PS3 will probably last as a gaming platform for at least 4-6 more years,by which time Microsoft would have come up with another console of theirs.Besides it has Blue-Ray too.

PS:Yeah,X box 360 is supposed to have lots of problems with some people reporting that their console gave up on them 2-3 times after being given a new one.dunno whether this issue is solved or not.(360 has a failure rate of about 17%!! acc to various sites)

Actually, I recommend a Wii myself. I dont own one, but the fact that you can play any nintendo-released console's games on it definitely rocks, I have my eyes set on buying a Wii sometime next year when prices hopefully will fall.
