damn..for a console super newbie like me, reading this thread still doesnt help me decide which to buy..xbox 360 or a ps3

for me, the xbox 360 has some great exclusive title shooting games i.e gears of war but then again the ps3 doubles as a blu ray player as well...

woah, i still cant decide. Anyone mind chiming in with some advice?

thanks mambo for the help

hm 3rd party controller? haha ive no idea what a g25 is..i am afterall a super duper newbie when it comes to consoles. This will be my first console ever but ive played on both the ps3 and xbox though.

im a shoot-em-up type of gamer so the titles im looking forward to play are mainly shooting games..gears of war, call of duty, rainbow six and less on the rpgs, grand theft autos and metal gear solid so my mates tell me to get the xbox in that case but some of them say i should get the ps3 as these titles (besides gears of war) will soon be available on the ps3

and with the ps3, theres the blu ray player as well which since the blu ray has won the HD war..so thats the enticing part bout the ps3

and then with the xbox 360 i know ill be facing that red ring problem which im not looking forward to..sigh choices

Oh also, ill be playing on a hd computer monitor rather than a hd tv and the monitor ill be getting is this: DellTM SP2208WFP 22" Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor With Webcam link here:

That choice of monitor good enough or are there better ones out there for that value?
