dude anyway you like, i heard the latest models of xbox & ps3 cant be modded YET. However, without mod, you have to pay for the online service for xbox, as for ps3 it is free. for better graphics, and if you prefer xbox's exclusives like halo etc etc go for xbox. ps3 might not always have graphics as good as xbox, but with hdmi i think it can still make it up, furthermore no subscription fees needed to play online and if you like their exclusives are : god of war nuff said. your choice. no fan boy shits from me.
