Well, I will got for XBOX360 for following obvious reason:-

-Best game library on any generation of console

-Build your own game via XNA & sell it on XBOX LIVE without you to pay an insane sum of license fee. They called it Indie Games.

-Some exclusive addons or coverage for certain big title on XBOX LIVE

-Can use Windows Live Messenger on XBOX360

-Games are cheaper then PS3, and yes, I mean only original. I do respect intellectual properties.

-3 yrs General hardware failure error (3RRoD & E74)1 to 1 swap warranty.

-XBOX Dashboard getting better & better

-You just can't help yourself on coming-up big title

What impaired the XBOX360 experience:-

-It's not officially supported in Malaysia, anything you must email them to call you back OR for warranty claim, go singapore~!

-You need to pay for online gaming, although it worth the price but you'll compare it with Wii &/or PS3 subconciously.

-You might develope a phobia on 3RRoD if you ever get it.

-If your console hang when you playing a game, you might get pissed as compared to PS3 & Wii coz u'll wonder Uncle 3RRoD visit you.

-If you kena 3RRoD, you'll scream for help & waste money.

-You can't help yourself from keep paying overwhelming 1st class titles.

-U curse microsoft when you brought wrong region title, which will not happen on PS3

-U curse Microsoft for stupid restriction which keep you from donating your money to XBOX LIVE.

-U can't bring your Asian console & gamertag to other continent.

For the 3RRoD part, PS3's equivalent version is YLOD (Yellow Light Of Death) which is also on the wild. Sadly PS3 got only 1 year limited warranty and not 1 to 1 swap and it's officially supported in Malaysia.

From the initial buy-in console from the retail shop, the reasons are very apparent that the Sony's PS3 is a notch classier than Microsoft XBox 360.

Unpack and unwrap. When it comes to hooking up the gaming system, you
ll noticed what I've been through.

I have both consoles at home so I know what I'm talking here. No discriminations. No favouritisms in play What I've mentioned above is purely on experience that I've gone through.

Same goes to Graphical User Interface (GUI), yet again Sony PS3 win hands down. Sony's PS3 has a "corporate and clean designs" icons whereas Microsoft XBox 360 is a tad ermmm "cluttered and unclean designs"?

Regards, Joey

p.s: I'll post some comparisons from time to time.

This is referring to XBox NXE vs PS XMB?

I agree the XBOX blade sucks but not NXE.

And I do agree XBOX give a very cheapo look.

But gaming experience is surely otherwise.

actually I very much like the XMB UI concept, simple and intuitive, akin to Windows Media Center except in the orientation direction

Pros of Xbox 360 could be its better online system (when connected to screamyx), *cheaper*games, these two only..

the price of both consoles in the future will be the same, but if u look on the other way, Xbox 360 becomes more expensive compare to PS3 because of no built in Wifi, no bluetooth, no Bluray, hard to upgrade the HDD etc

Well, just few days ago, elite gaming system in Singapore dropped it's price around 27%.

Good news eh?
