Videogamers: PlayStation 3 vs Xbox 360?

[Soviette]

Apologies if this has been made, and I suspect it has. But let one of the hottest techology debates on the internet begin!

Which do you prefer, X360 or PS3?

Personally, I prefer the PS3. I used to own an X360 Elite which I got for Christmas when I was in my last year at school, but I never played it much. Never really liked the games, hated the controller, but I do admit I never tried Xbox Live despite a friend nagging me to try it, but I never had the time or will to try online multiplayer. So I sold it, but I got a PS3 for my birthday and I am actually enjoying it. I prefer the games, like Metal Gear Solid 4 and Uncharted 1/2, I am familiar and comfortable with the controller, since I had a PS2 for years. Although it sucks I can't play my PS2 games on it, at least I can play PS1 games on it, which is a little plus.

I haven't tried PSN yet, but it's good to know it's free to use. I've heard it's not as good as XL, but hey, I'd probably appreciate it as I'm not into online gaming much.

Btw I haven't included the Wii, because the Wii caters to a completely different market and doesn't even try to compete with the other two, when it comes to technology, online, etc.

They're roughly the same price now, I think. Sony slashed the price so it can compete with it better. My 320gb one was £250, which is the same price as my old Xbox 360 Elite, although, it might have gotten cheaper seeing as that was two years ago.
