I personally like the Xbox 360 over the PS3 because: - Sony dropped backwards compatibility with PS2 games on higher firmwares and/or newer PS3's (slim) - Media card slots are gone on slim ps3's - OtherOS option was removed on higher firmwares and slim PS3's - Trophies don't exist for some games (and don't have to either)
Now with the 360: - All 360 models have backwards compatibility with most Xbox classics - No hardware features (to my knowledge) were removed with the Slim - The Dashboard (and some apps) have Kinect compatibility Now it's true that XBL costs money and PSN doesn't, however I have to say I've 95% of the time I've had no latency or connection issues (that were outside of my control). The times I tried using PSN when I had a PS3, well, heres this situation: I had a slim PS3 and a wireless router. PS3 is in the basement. Modern Warfare 2 could not connect to a game for the life of it, and the games I got in, I was usually disconnected and etc. However, with my 2nd gen xbox 360, I used my 2007 laptop as a wireless adapter basically (so Xbox > Laptop > Router) and had perfect connect, MW2 worked fine, no lag, no disconnections. Speaking of internet, the PSP has the ability to use either wireless G or N (1 or the other, or both, can't remember) but it can't use them (the hardware chip has the feature, but it's disabled in the firmware). Also, as for the console failure rate, people either had to of literally kept their 360's in a closed off box, purposely RRoD'd it, or had TERRIBLE luck, my 2-3 year old 2nd gen 360 is working without any hardware related issues (even purposely overheated it and stuck it in a freezer a few times 1 night to try to replace it for a newer model, no luck lol) TLDR: PS3 < 360 because Sony dropped mad features on the Slim PS3 for "whatever" reason, and the 360 has better backwards compatibility. Kinect > Move because, motionless is cheaper then having multiple wands, wand accessories, etc, and Kinect is more convient. PSN < XBL because XBL has better connection quality.
