I've only played the 360, never the PS3, so I'd like to get some feedback from people that have played both systems. Actually this thread is for me to learn more about the PS3 since I already know a lot about the 360.

Do I need a 120gb? is 80gb enough? (Most of the time i'll just be playing games...)
How are the graphics on the PS3?
How are the online capabilities? (Talking to people in-game, sound quality, messaging, chat, etc)
How is the "lag" compared with Xbox?
Good games? (I like shooters, like MW2)
Any problems with the system?

Thanks to all who reply. What you guys say can have a big impact on my decision.

<--- not a fanboi.
I hardly play my PS3, but I've never experienced lag, nor seen it. But that doesn't mean its not there.
I think the graphics are supurb(sp). When I have HDMI cable hooked up, its sicky icky icky.  Wink

As far as memory goes, I'm not sure. I have no need for mine (yet) so its all good.

I also have a sexbox 360 and...meh. Red ring nuff said. Embarrassed

Does the HDMI cable come with the system?

And I think you can avoid getting red ringed if you unplug your 360 from the wall when you aren't playing it.  Undecided

No it doesn't, but I bought one for $20 at kmart though. Wink
When its hooked up you don't need the RCA's hooked up to play.

I just got a PS3 IBU, get a PS3  Afro

I can't speak for the xbox, but the PS3 looks great. I only have two games so far (Gran Turismo and NHL10), but I've seen MW2 on my brother's system and it looked great. I went with the 120GB HDD because you can replace it with a bigger one if you want. Sony even gives you instructions on how to change it.

Haven't tried anything online yet, but I was surprised to see that I can play both Gran Turismo and NHL10 online...

I know xbox is only $50 a year for online, but I like free online and I hate the fact that MS charges for everything they possibly can.

Plus, I wanted a Blu-ray player.

The thing is, 80% of my friends have an xbox. I can go to my neighbors house to play if I wanted. I kinda feel like trying something new, but what if I get a PS3 and then I wish I had gotten a 360?

Also I hear Xbox live is a lot better than PSN so its ok that MS charges.

Another thing I heard is that the PS3 sucks for shooting games Huh?

IBU you answered your own question.  Both platforms are very similar technically.  Choose where you have the most friends as having fun is the most important factor.  I got the 360 for my son and I because there were more friends there especially in his case.

Most of my friends had 360's too so that wasn't a deciding factor. I got mine because someone was desperate. Cheesy
But I played MW4 on both and they felt the same so I'm not sure if that reigns true or not.
I honestly got it for the sick features it offered and graphics. I knew the gameplay had to be up to par since it cost so much. Wink

If your friends have xbox then you should probably get an xbox. Then you don't have to play with us losers anymore  Afro

Well, if you were to ask this before 2008, 360 was the obvious choice. But now, the PS3 is releasing like 3x more amazing exclusives when comparing to the 360. You're not going to get the game of the year on the 360, either. The PS3 is most definitely better, but since the 360 came out first, more people had it to begin with, and people used the excuse " well my friends had it " so much, and it was all a big chain reaction. THAT is why 360 has more sales. Me and some friends have converted about 4 people from 360 to PS3 at my school. Do it, it's worth it. It's better.

CoD sucks on PS3 in my opinion, grenade buttons are very close from the triggers and you sometimes take grenades out by mistake. Also 360 has better exclusive games than PS3.

The only thing I like from PS3 is its free Online and the very lightweight controls.
