Yeh but they suck they can't play ps2 or ps1 games.
I had the exact same problem. I made like 5 different threads on different forums asking the same question. I was originally going for a ps3 but i was pursuaded by other people to get a xbox 360. Got it last saterday and its great! Console, 2 controllers, halo 3, forza 2 = £265 PS3 1 controller = £350 do the math. Its better IMO and ridiculously cheaper |

yeh but its a games console for playing games. I have a ps2, 360, pc and dvd player in my room, all can play DVDs, i use the DVD player. And for me, i would never use blueray, i dont even have an HD tv.

40 gb ps3 can play all ps1 games..about the ps2 games ..it can't atm. But there is a possibility through firmware upgrades that software emulation can be implemented..so ps2 backward compatiability isn't entirely out of the picture..and about the price i was talking about the 40 gb ps3..its priced at 299 GBP and not 350 which is cheaper than the 360 elite.
Anyway Alex if price isn't a problem for you and ps2 gaming is an issue then the 60 gb ps3 has full ps2,ps1 playability.

360 all the way.
Im well happy on gears of war atm, played it for like 500 hours since christmas 
Im getting a PS3 next year though, but imo a 360 with live is unbeatable
Im not fussed about phones/gadgets no more. If im online im in the Non-Mobile discussion  |

:se_p800 where did you get that deal as I'm not too bothered about elite....
@spikey speedtest.net gave me this;
** http://www.speedtest.net/result/-1.png **
but this was while downloading a 700mb file if that makes any difference? Why'd you ask
I am interested in getting XBL and wasnt sure if a wireless adapter makes any difference to ethernet?
and @ th rest of you....i think i'm swaying toward the 360 as with the PS3 i would prefer having PS2 compatability and the extra mem card slots as AFAIK 40gb has more downsides than mentioned above^^
Also i would miss the games like forza2 and halo3 which i really want if i was to get a PS3....
so any other reasons to get a PS3?

I bought both...
Currently have an Elite and the 60GB PS3. Bought them both on the same day but play the 360 a bit more.
I'd recommend the 360 for this year, but next year when the big games come out get the PS3.
