That and 3D tv is really awkward, a whole lot of trouble for some gimmickry effects. Nintendo has a much better take on 3D with their 3DS.

I would reccomend Xbox 360. Halo( people saying its being milked are usually the ps3 fanboys that have never played it :P ), Gears, Mass Effect, Dragon age. I worked in my local GAME store for years and believe me, we saw just as many faulty ps3's come back as 360's.

You appear to be a big fan of racing sims, on 360 you have Forza, an excellent racing game that has the bonus of actually being out on the shelves to buy and play.

What can I say about online? Well the old saying "You get what you pay for" really rings true here. Also, I'm on there and I rock! :)

Control pads are far superior on the 360 and more ergonomic too.

New 360 hardware is whisper quiet and has wifi built in.

I do own a PS3 aswel but it just sits there gathering dust, perhaps I should take it for a walk and put it out of it's misery.

Hey i can reply to this!

I own both also and honestly i wouldn't buy either system just for one game.Both have their positives and drawbacks.

One nice thing about the PS3 is it has internet access which the 360 doesn't have besides that i tend to play the 360 more.One of the nice things about the 360 is you can load your games onto the harddrive to save wear and tear and heating on the system which is a must if you play for any extended period.

Also if you get a console,and this is more from personal preference,despite what the manuals say try to keep all the air intakes clear.Those suckers heatup quick so we placed ours up on wooden shims and it made a huge difference.

Also don't forget to connect the system you get online everyonce in a while,if you don't plan on having it constantly connected,for system and game updates.

Both have internet access, but if you mean wireless, then the 360 has that now too.

PS3 also allows you to install games, but if I'm not mistaken it is necessary which can be annoying if you are just borrowing a game to see if you like it. On 360 installation is only optional.

Since when does the 360 let you browse the internet?

That must have been in a system update and i didn't notice it.

To tell you honestly,and coupled with the above 360 miss makes me question myself,i've never noticed that you could download the games on the PS3

PS3 has a browser but it's absolute trash, crashes all the time, just doesn't respond, checking 'remember me' box is more like therapy because it won't. E-mails just don't open, in short it ' CHANGES THE WAY WE THINK ABOUT BROWSING THE INTERNET' Sony style.

Still recommend the PS3
