    still if i had the money i would own both.

    I think having plenty of money would solve most "versus" arguments for anything, never mind the 360/PS3 issue.

    360 for me. At the end of the day it's exclusives that make a console and ps3 simply doesn't have good exclusives for me to be tempted into buying.

    Tough call I think.

    If your looking for a movie player as well then the demise of HD DVD I would go for the PS3 but I would only get the 60GB version if you can find one so you can also play the PS2 games.

    The 360 has a huge list of games but it has been out longer, ys the HD DVD player add on can be got pretty cheaply if you want to go for HD DVD. there are a few bits you may need to buy with it to get the full online play like a live gold membership and wireless adaptor if you dont want to use a cable.

    Graphics wise things have moved on so much in the last few years anyway you will be pushed to say which one is better, but with the 360 being so similar to the PC platform there is less work to be done in getting the games looking good, the PS3 is still new and the developers are still working on the games for it.

    If I was buying now I would get the 60GB PS3, I have heard rumours of a slim PS3 being on the way who knows? I have a 360 btw.

    I had a 360, traded in to GAME for a PS3 60GB.

    Never warmed to it, but on the plus side, i sold it for £100 more than i paid for it on ebay, due to everyone wanting the 60GB version.

    This is a pointless discussion. once the PS3 catches up there will be a 360 Mark 2 or a 720? to worry about and then a PS4 and everyone will want the latest thing once again.
    Personally I always thought the Vic 20 was far superior to the Spectrum

    Ha! Commodore forever! I had a Vic 20, then a Commodore 64, then a 128, then a 128D. Even had a Plus/4.

    Spectrums were for wimps!
