Now I'm thinking Fallout 3 puts X-box back in front.

What should I do? (Price difference is $100, which probably still makes sense to factor the BLue Ray into the deal as a DVD player I do not have currently.)

I have both, but have never used the PS3 for anything but playing movies. I think the 360 is quite a bit more fun for playing games and also - Don Homer Oct 27, 08:58

      - PS3 has the superior CPU and the superior graphics, but developers are still getting up to speed on how to use it. The library isn't as full as 360's -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 09:06 1
        
        I think the bottom line we're all saying is that if you want the console for gaming more than movies, get a 360. If you want it more for movies, PS3. -- nm - Shaun Oct 27, 09:08
      - Honestly, I believe their very similar machines. - decline Oct 27, 09:03
      - The PS3 is the more powerful, stable machine. -- nm - Shaun Oct 27, 09:00
  - imo, the 360 has an exponentially better game selection. -- nm - Shaun Oct 27, 08:57 3
    - Word. And the XBox Live friends list integration in the games is excellent (although I can't compare it to PS3) - Beryllium Oct 27, 08:58 2
