as soon as halo 3 comes out i'll probably get the xbox 360. Also when the price comes down to 500 or less

there is actually only one choice X360 if you intend to get on this year. PS3 is released much later.

360 for me.

But I will wait until PS3 gets released, then the 360 price will drop. Still happy with my Xbox.

Huh? There is no publicly seen actual game running on PS3; what was seen 6 months ago during *that* gaming show was all pre-rendered. The rest are all papper specs if the programmer can make use of them. And it is NOT an easy architecture to program to, even more than XBox360.

PS3 has been rumoured to launch in 6 months in Japan only, and 1 year's time in US and world wide... Xbox360 is out in less than 2 weeks time in US and before Christmas, EU and Japan IIRC. 1 year lead time in US is no joke.

think next would be GT5... hehe... GT4 is out... and for wat i know, i'm not going to play another GT series as well... Burnout is more fun... BANG BANG BANG!!!

only reason i'll get PS3 over Xbox360 is that PS3 will confirm have gundam games... Xbox none... so who cares about specs anyway? and esp if one plays Super Robot War series...

I think Xbox360 will have Gundam games, so I read.

But I still prefer PS3.

not true.... it is not pre-rendered... there is only a rumour (by Xbox fans of course) that the scene is pre-rendered. since you are a xbox supporter...your view is of course biased also!
whether the killzone scene is pre-rendered, nobody knows.... so u can't say it is pre-rendered unless u have SOLID proof!

not easy to program games to PS3 than XBOX360? you must be kidding...have u read gaming industry magazines like EDGE? or PSM? developers have commented that it is easier to program games for PS3
i quote PSM:
"people are finding that the 360 has some stupid bottlenecks"
"both are friendly, but the PS3 may actually be friendlier [to program software to]"

i don't think it is right to say Burnout is more fun than GT5. though they are both racing games, one is all about crashing, destruction, but GT5 emulate's the real life characteristics of cars, and offers very in-depth tuning options-interesting for people who understand these stuff, but people who don't will find 'simpler' games more interesting.
so it all depends on what u like...
