I'm getting a PS3 in January, as it has better exclusive titles, doesn't have the false economy of the subscription for xbox live, and it has a blu-ray built in

Something else I think the new version has free.
and it has a blu-ray built in
The only BIG difference between the two machines now.

Looking at upgrading mine either before, or straight after the new year, along with Kinect.

xBox for me. PS3 controllers drive me mad and are so out of date in every way. Ruins the whole console for me.

Not looking to get into a binfest but how comes you think there out of date? They may look the same but they are different to the original PS pads.

Not got either but having played on both the PS3 controller does my head in for some reason, can't really put my finger on why though

I have both the PS3 and Xbox and IMO the PS3 is better by a country mile.

Until just recently I hadn't played my Xbox for 6 months, then I just purchased the Kinect (an early christmas present to myself) and however ever good that experience is, the PS3 is still top dog!

Just in the way that modern controllers including the xBox pads fit nicely into your hands and feel comfortable with every button easily reached. With the PS3 pads I just get an uncomfortable, clunky feel to them, the sticks are in weird positions and they just look horrific IMO. Just not a fan, simple as, but each to their own. Maybe I've just got strange mitts :shrug:

I'll agree that when I owned the 360 I did like the pad but at times it just seemed chunky and annoying. I like the sleekness of the PS3 pad. Maybe I've just got mini hands but it fits me nicely.

Simple preference just dont get why some people wont buy a PS3 because of a pad!

On another note anyone used the PS move yet? Looks brilliant. Might buy it in with time crisis in the jan sales if its going.

How can it be "no contest at all" when quite clearly (and rightly) most people prefer the PS3.

Wow, this thread again.

Maybe its just a case of whatever the person feels more accustomed to, my friend prefers the PS3 as he says Xbox live was worse, I don't have an Xbox, but that doesn't stop it from being a good console, some of the Online capabilities are better than the PS3 and the Xbox has some pretty good exclusives, the PS3 has some good exclusives too and its main online system is for free.

Me too got both and can't get on with PS3 controllers

If you're buying a console to play games then it is kinda important!
