Yes, the affordable choice, but kids, don't buy the X360 because you have just enough cash for it, save up a couple months and get the PS3. Then show it off to your friends
reading that made me laugh... why get a ps3 if your friends have 360's?
i have a 360, had a ps3 for a bit.. and i prefer the 360, XBL is a top notch service, i pay about $5 a month to get it but its worth it
i also believe that the 360's game selection is way better then the ps3
only thing the ps3 has on the 360 is the fact that it has blue-ray, although watching hi-def movies is neat, i dont watch alot of movies so i didnt use it ( i think i used it maybe twice)..
