I have access to both via my 'little' brother. While the PS3 is a little bit more expensive then the Xbox360, it has a Blueray player onboard (the defacto standard), if you plan to use that in the short term it is a big plus.There are a few games I am really interested in, some are on the PS3 and some are on the Xbox 360. But because my 'TV' is a 30" 2560*1600 monitor with no scaler onboard I can't directly connect any console to my primary monitor (secondary is 20" and a tad bit small compared to the 30"). So getting a console is very expensive for me (needs a special card for my PC and my PC needs to be on when playing on a console). Many years ago I bought a Xbox (connected it to the 20" because I didn't have a 30" at the time), my collection of Xbox games is 7, and two of those are now available on the PC (Halo and Jade Empire). My interest in games for the Xbox360 and the PS3 really isn't much larger.To be honest I'm a PC player, over the years I've collected over a 100 PC titles (legally bought), a lot of them for very cheap. I still have a large amount of games I haven't played (there are many very good older games for the PC) so I'm not 'out of games to play'. A few exclusive Xbox360 games are coming to the PC in the near future, Assassins Creed (April 8) and Mass Effect (may 2008), for me two less reasons to be interested in an xbox360 ;-)In my own situation, I'll stick with PC gaming for now, and if I have a need for Xbox360/PS3 gaming I'll borrow my 'little' brothers rigs. he has some of the games I'm interested in and I can always pick up the games I'm interested in at sales or second hand, is a good gift for being allowed to use the console ;-)</blockquote>
