PS3 or XBox360?

I am thinking of buying one of them but i don't know which one to get. I am used to the playstation paddles. I know Xbox has Halo which is a plus for that. But I also want to use it as a computer in my bedroom. So which ever one is better at online. Just give me your reasons why you like one of them.

So you're wanting to use your gaming system to broswe the web...? If so the ps3 is only one with a browser, but it's pretty clunky as far as you would expect trying to browse with a controller and on your tv.

yeah, neither one is a good choice for using in any way as a computer. But if you are asking which one is better online, then 360 all the way. Xbox Live does a curb stomp on the PS network

are we really going to have this thread again with the same comments by the same people? how about we just take replies from the people that have both? i have both and the xbox is for games, especially if you want to play online. ps3 is awesome as a movie player but games online suck big time

i have had both myself. xbox live is superior to psn for sure, but you also have to pay for xbox live albeit it's not much. to say that the ps online "sucks bigtime" is laughable. ps online is fine if you are a casual gamer and don't spend 50+ hours a week gaming. you put that with the internet browser and the ability to play blu ray and reg dvds plus the failure rate of the 360 makes ps3 a superior value imo.

bottom line, hardcore online gamer that does not get easily frustrated with having to deal with the possibility getting rrod get 360, casual to moderate gamer get ps3.

the xbox's ability to stream Netflix is what convinced the wife we needed a console. Bluray? Eh, I can live with my current player

If you get the 360, buy it from Gamestop and get the extended warranty. I have recently came upon 2 360's that were thrown out by friends because they had the RROD and were out of warranty. I know a guy in Chattanooga who will fix these.....$30 bucks and have a new system.
