Gotta buy one this week. My 13 yr. old insists the ps3 is better. He wants that Call of Duty game. I see the X box is cheaper, but does that mean its not as good? Is PS3 worth the extra $100?

I'm happy with xbox 360 but I'm an adult.

Does 360 have a Blu-Ray player?

The two 13 year olds and 10 year old upstairs right now emphatically say yes. So do the 3-4 friends they're playing online with.

And because I can enjoy my A. Fuente, drink and this basement, I agree.

Blu Ray is one thing that is really good about the PS3 but thats it really. Xbox 360 has xbox live which is alot easier to find people online than a PS3. Go with the xbox.

Well, part of me says that he wants the PS3, so get him the PS3...but another part says if Call of Duty is the game he wants to play, there's no reason to shell out the extra cash for a game that is on both systems. Ask him if there are other games he wants to play. If there are, and they are 360 or PS3 exclusive, that's the way to go.

Otherwise, fuck him and buy a Wii.

The PS3 is a bit better, but you/he should get whatever system his friends have.

If he is going to want you to buy a BluRay or 3D DVD player in the future, consider that too.

And he has to pay for online play ever year for Xbox... Sure its only about $30-$50 a year, but it's free with PS3... Just a small thing to consider when factoring the price of both systems...

I got the PS3. I need to get another controller. If I have one HD tv and one regular tv, is there anything else I need to get to make it compatible to both? Anything else in general I need for this system? Thanks for the help

Get an HDMI cord for the HD tv. Regular 3 color cable is sufficient for the standard def.
