What should I get; a ps3 or an Xbox?

It's been a while since I've got to play. Now that I'm finished with college and have a better job, I can start playing again. Just wanting some opinions as to which one and why

PS3. Blue Ray, lower failure rate, better exclusive games like Uncharted, MLB the show, God of war, and more. Free online. Better online format and its a lot less confusing to learn how to use. As in navigating purposes. PS3 uses blu ray disks which is way better than the usual compact disc. The exclusives look way better than any xbox 360 game. The controller is better, fits your hand better and fits a childs hand much bette too. Both systems are great but the PS3 is better in many ways.

Just bc someone plays video games it doesn't mean they have no life troll. Stereotypes.

That's pretty much what I've heard. I've really been leaning towards the ps3. I like the free online part as well.

And people completely over exaggerate the PS3 having "bad online" thats BS. I've had NO trouble with my online on my PS3. As long as you have decent internet, the online is perfectly fine. Have you researched some PS3 games like God of war, Uncharted, MLB the show, etc? Just look at the graphics on those games and they are all fun.

Yeah I've looked at them and they look great. The online play was really my biggest concern.

If you are a fan of baseball, get the PS3......if not, get the 360. The RROD is pretty much non existent now and the online its much better than the Ps3. Only thing is that the PS3 has the show mlb.

If you have good internet, you will be fine. Idk why people say the online is bad. I have Comcast and I never randomly lose connection or anything unless of course they are updating the server. I always have green ping on the connection bar and never have any trouble. Obviously if you have slow internet the connection wont be as good. But if your internet is good just as it would be on xbox, your online will be perfectly fine I promise.

Ill never get why people say the online on PS3 is so bad. I never have any trouble with it. PS3 exclusives are better than almost all 360 exclusives. People say PS3 online is so bad bc it got hacked once. Anything can get hacked.

I have both and when compared, live on 360 its just better. More content and more stable......I have very fast cable internet as well. Like I have said, the two aren't comparable
