answer:PS3, by a mile. you could argue that it costs more but after paying for xbox live for a few years the 360 will cost more, the playstation network is free. some feature are only on the elite, which didn’t come out that much later than the original. theres no web browser on the 360. the PS3 has extra features if you have a PSP, such as acting as a rear view mirror in a racing game, the PS3 has better franchises, metal gear, tekken, wipEout etc. all the 360 has is halo, which is over rated. and only the elite has a HDMI. plus if you have a HD television, wouldn’t you like a blu-ray player built into your console? there is no doubt about it, PS3 all the way.
