depends
if you are playing originals ~RM200 each game. any console would do
whichever you like lorr
if u play online xbox live is more superior than ps3, but ps3 online gaming is free
if u buy copy game, no brainer get xbox 360, ps3 got no piracy
if u boycotting israel, buy ps3

Personally, There is no real relevance between buying a console and supporting israel.
Secondly, TS, You will need to decide on your own what you really need because besides the general purpose of playing as a console, there are other factors to consider
Xbox
-Cheaper Original Games (About 20% cheaper than PS3)
-More discounted Ori games (E.G. Check Play-asia.com)
-Better online multiplayer (But with fees)
-Cheaper than PS3
-At the moment, there are more game exclusives here (Largely due to the much bigger game library)
-2nd hand games are cheaper here at LYN
PS3
-Bluray player
-Free online multiplayer (Depending on game region) - R1 of course got most players but cost more than R3
-Game region free (But affects Multiplayer)
-Bluray is region-locked
-Wifi (Personally i never use it before as i always have lan connection)
-2nd hand games at LYN are almost the same as a brand new xbox360 game
Look at above, if u want a blu-ray player, then it is a no brainer. There is also some 3rod risk if the xbox360 is not managed properly and random luck but the bluray lense problem is getting more apparent. Their specific purpose besides gaming will decide which side to turn to.
