There's no doubt the PS3 is better made component wise, but the 360 is v competitive on price.
Why does everyone think this!?
For the £299.99 you pay for a PS3 (which you get game with, GT5:prologue as standard or even Grant Theft if you buy from some online retailers) you get SO much more than what you get with the top spec 360 model.
-Built-in wireless as standard. Microsoft Wireless adaptor = £59.99
-Bluetooth (meaning you're not forced to buy a Microsoft specific headset, and can use any old bluetooth one, the one you have for your phone perhaps)
-A Blu-ray player: it's next-gen of movie watching, DVDs being phased out slowly, and it's actually the best BD player on the market (granted, Sony did make it and they did invent BD) (Around £300 to buy one separately.. also means you dont have to buy batteries for your Pads, they charge via USB)
-Free Online play £39.99 a year with Xbox
-The ability to install ANY 2.5" HD if you want more than the 40gb you get as standard. Can only buy a Microsoft specific hard drive which has a RRP of £129.99 and is only 120gb.. (320gb 2.5" HD's can be had for £60..)
-Full HD support, again, as standard. You only get this with the top 360 model, I forget which one as there are so many out now.
What's the 360 got going for it? The fact it's been out nearly 2 years longer? OBViously it'd have more games, I laugh when people try use that one! The PS3 exclusives list for the next few months (let alone the next couple years) makes the 360 look redundant.
I'm a geek, shhhtandard, but I hate coming across like a "fanboy". Serious, people who use that term as diffffurunt.
I've got a PS3 and a 360 in my flat, if I had to choose I wouldn't even think twice.
Chef, your move sir. Not really a hard choice when you think about it properly.
