    I'm buying the Xbox, because that's really the only console I've ever owned. sony and Nintendo don't have the games that appeal to me. If I had money I'd get the PS3 too, but I don't, and I will have university to worry about.

    all of yall are crazy...yall are talking about ps3's specs are better than the 360....ps3 has 256 memory...xbox360 has 512...


    and with the 360 you can press a button on your controller that turns on the system unlike ps3 where u have to throw that boomerang controller at the power buttton....xbox has more memory more storage...xbox Live owns all....im sorry but u cant say ps3's specs look better than the 360 because they dont
