I like my ps3 so far, I noticed Xbox allows you to stream games with ESPN live. Can ps3 do this also?

I know the ps3 can do 3D with the latest update, plus netflix which I tried out and the movies look good.

For just playing games I like the XBOX better, but the PS3 is a better overall entertainment system with Blue-Ray, and all the online stuff you can do. I'm not sure about the new XBOX's, but since both systems have been out the PS3 has been a-lot more reliable. I've only owned 1 PS3, but I'm on my 3rd XBOX. Assuming the new XBOX's are more reliable you can't really go wrong with either one of them.

but with x box, you get to view the red circle of death in about a years time.

I agree with the above . . . . i have both and love em both . . . . PS3 more entertainment and versatile for the family tho, now that it has the interactive remote controls and what not i say go with a PS3 if its gonna be a family console, you cant go wrong with it

Most games are the same price.

Yes you can play against/with other people over the internet.

Yes. But access to playstation's network is free. Access to XBox's network will cost u a monthly fee.

Ok, now there are sizes......I remember when the 1gig home PC came out......that was HUGE!!! These game systems have 100's of gigs......can I get by on the small one or do I need to get the big boy??

[Micah]

pretty sure you can get a 160gb ps3 for the same price as the 40gb
