Live is worth the hassle of RRoD every now and then.

They both have their pros and cons. It really boils down to what you want to do with it to be honest.

PS3. The Blu-Ray is the huge draw for me.

If Blu-ray isn't something you're concerned with then 360. If it is, the only thing the PS3 really lacks in comparison is LIVE (which is fantastic). I find myself basically just using the PS3 to play Blu-ray movies, and do most of my gaming on the 360 just because of LIVE and the amount of people who own 360.

Get the 360 if you enjoy playing multiplayer.

honestly, if i had to do it over again, i'd probably go 360 just because i haven't had any issues yet. but if it ever does go out on me, i would seriously consider a ps3. i'm just not willing to ship it off 20 different times. i'd rathar have some reliability with the ps3. just my
