Xbox 360 or PS3?

[PvtWilhelm]

Can you guys give me a hand? I've got a Wii but I want to get either a PS3 or an Xbox 360 in the near future. Problem is I don't know much about either other than the games available for them. Which would you recommend?
If I buy one now, which am I going to get more value for my money from in terms of games, lifespan and what it has to offer? Based purely on games I'm leaning towards 360 at the moment, but everyone I ask says the PS3's on it's way up and it has blu-ray too. Any advice would be great. Thanks for you help.

What games are you looking forward too, just go through the list of games out and future games and see which has more that you want..that's the best way..from the sounds of it..you are pretty set on the 360..so pick on up...60gb in August for 350 is great value.. I would mention RROD but Microsoft surprisingly has done a great job making it less prone to failure and Jasper chipset this fall will make it even less prone.

Is that the new Premium they announced at E3? Anyone happen to know how much that'll cost in the UK?

Yes it's the new premium, I'm not even sure they're planned for UK yet.

400 Dollars which is about 252 euro's for 80gb.
350 dollars which is about 220 euro's for the 60gb.

So it'll cost the same as the old Premium but with more space then? Sorry if I'm sounding retarded. just want to make sure.

Yep, Look at 2 things. How many games does each console have(or will have) that you want to play.
and most importantly what console does most of your friends have.

Get a PS3: Free Online, Bigger Hard Drive and a lot of good games are on the way.

Yeah we have it. But I've only got an normal 360.

Also I forgot to say! PS3 doesn't have the RROD..
