Honestly i used to love the xbox 360 but its fulty hardware is just a huge turn off. A console should be able to function for over 6 months. In other words, Sonys PS3 lasts much longer. True, the PS3 doesnt have as much of a grand selection as the 360, but atleast it can hold what its worth. The Xbox 360 is more of a family-fun community console that charges alot for the smallest things while the PS3 offers free online. If you want to enjoy a community enviornment, just make a myspace. Dont waste 200-300$ for a xbox with a 20$ Mic that has a average life-span of 5 months along with the 50$ that is also required for a year of online play when you could just get a PS3 that lasts ALOT longer with headsets and mics that LAST and free online with a web browser. Sorry to all Xbox lovers, but your just wasting your time... and money.
