PS3=you can get online, watch Netflix and play for free with no additional purchase
Xbox = Need Xbox live gold subscription at around £32 pa to play online - We got it for games but I think I would have even needed this to watch Netflix too which is a bit of a surprise as Netflix is free on pretty much everything else.

What? Netflix is free? For 30 days as a new customer, then you have to pay regardless of device, console or whatever you choose to view it on.

Basically if games if your thing and your only thing, then get an Xbox.

so long as you dont mind it sounding like a hoover and dont mind not being able to play uncharted, the last of us etc.

thought all the PS3 phats had long since gone to the great arcade in the sky... its overheating, and probably on the way out. Mine did the same not long before it died...

its replacement PS3 slim is very quiet.

it was only the launch 40gb version that had an issue. i have a phat version but it is a 80gb which came later. got it early 2009 and havent had any issues. my 360 got the red light problem within 18 months. microsofts repair service was great though and it is still just about working 4 years later.
