Sorry for not checking back until now but I don't play online for lag, UI, and difficultly of use. The 360 is a little better for lag (not by much, but a little bit) but the main reason I play it is because of the ease of getting around and getting together with friends. It's so easy to join groups with other people and go into games like that. I haven't played the ps3 online in about a year now so they may have made improvements but if not, I would go with the 360. Basically what it comes down to is: Do you have any use for a blu-ray player? If you do, then don't rule the PS3 out. Are you planning on playing games online with friends? If not, then don't rule the PS3 out. If you are planning to play games online with friends, get what system they have. I never play online unless it's with friends. Playing COD MW2 with randoms is the biggest pain in the ass. Not to mention that it's so much more fun IMO to play with the same people every night. Most of them are people that I know from other games too. I only play with 2 or 3 people that I actually know and interact with in real life, but I'm friends with the other guys and I've visited them occasionally. | ||

http://customsites.yahoo.com/financiallyfit/finance/article-108318-3394-3-gifts-you-may-want-to-avoid-html?ywaad=ad0035 It's all fun and games until the battery dies. Unlike its competitors, which use replaceable AA batteries, the PS3's remote control is glued shut. When the battery goes, Sony customers have to blow $55 on a new controller. Sony says there's an "environmental benefit" since gamers don't have to toss their batteries on a regular basis, but Isidor Buchmann, president of battery-equipment maker Cadex Electronics, says captive batteries are becoming common because it's cheaper for companies to eliminate the battery housing and hatch. pretty bs to me. | ||

Ps3= OpenCL DirectX provides a solid, powerful featureset. OpenGL does not provide any more but larger support for legacy hardware. Ps3 is being held back by opencl it's why not all their games are that great compared to xbox in terms of image quality, although higher textures help. I would get w.e has the games you like. my take on the op on the bump My friends went though 3 xboxes and like 7 controllers breaking the sticks in too much. Anyways it's a trade off wireless for battery time, 2 reasons why ps3 doesn't use batteries 1 is weight/size and 2 is selling controllers. | ||

It's like my old iPod. It lasted a year of regular use, and died. I wasn't willing to pay the $40 or whatever it was to ship it off to Apple, for a sub-par mp3 player. Though, my guess is that once the battery dies, you'll still be able to use the controller when plugged in. I was able to use my iPod like that, and while it would be a pain in the ass, at least the controller wouldn't be entirely useless. | ||
