[QUOTE="John Crichton, post: 3968999, member: 4779"] It really depends on what kind of games you want and if you care about how much you are spending and if you will be using it to watch HD movies. I love my 360, but it doesn't have the kind of games I really love. It does have Mass Effect, which is worth owning a 360 for, to me as a RPG fan. :cool: And I just got an Elite and it runs cooler and is less noisy that the older 360's. I expect that means it will be more reliable. Problem with the 360 is that the accessories really add up fast. $450 Elite, $180, $50 one year Xbox Live and then you go from there with battery packs, the recharging kit and such. Oddly enough, it turns out that the $500 PS3 is a cheaper investment. You really only need an extra controller. The problem with the PS3 is the current lack of games where the 360 has a big advantage right now. If you like FPS, racers and fighters the 360 has lots of those and will fit you nicely. However, if you want more selection than that or if you want to watch Blu-Ray movies (check a list of what is available for each HD format if interested) you could go with a PS3. It's all about what games you like and if you'll be using the unit to watch other HD content. [/QUOTE]
