X BOX vs PS3
Comments

Let's do some price calculations.
The cheapest price for a PS3 Slim with a game is from Amazon, for £249.69.
Amazon also has, in my opinion, the best bundle deal on the market for the Xbox 360 Elite. Up to three games and an extra controller for £194.77.
If you need to pick up a wireless networking adapter for your Xbox 360 (if a cable won't do), you can get one for £50 from Sainsbury's.
So the prices come down to:
PS3 Slim 120GB + one game (includes wireless adapter): £249.69
Xbox Elite 120GB + three games + extra controller + wireless adapter: £244.77
Yes, the PS3 does include a Blu-ray player as well, but Blu-ray movies are still very expensive compared to DVDs.0 -
Be careful if you're thinking of buying a second hand XBox. Many gamers are now trying to offload machines that have been banned from XBox online (due to chipping).0
