We are a bit behind times here and my teenage son, and my husband both want an updated game system.
I need some help here. I'm considering it for V-Day gift to the family, but need to know which one is better.
My son complains that his friends have to shut off their XBox 360 frequently because they over heat...
I'm not very technical when it comes to these things!

I come from the Pac Man era! :-)
I would appreciate any opinions and advise on this, Thanks!

Speaking from experience, and what I've observed at work, the Playstation 3 is a much better investment than the Xbox 360. My husband got a brand new Xbox 360 for our anniversary last March; just about six months after we bought it, the stupid thing started having problems reading discs. It wouldn't read most DVD's, and it would load Xbox 360 games only about 40% of the time. We put up with it for about a month, and then the thing attempted to eat hubby's favorite game and put a huge circular scratch on the disc. (A lot of people say that it only happens if you set the system upright or try to move it while it's reading the disc--not true!)

That was the last straw, and hubby took it in and traded it for a PS3. There's a lot of games that have been released for both consoles, and the PS3 honestly does a bit more than the Xbox 360. It plays Blu-Ray discs and DVD's, and they tend to come with larger hard drives than the Xbox 360. It also connects wirelessly to the Internet, so I'm not tripping over the stupid LAN cord in the middle of the night. lol And I've never heard of a PS3 overheating, but I see at least 1-2 360's a month get returned at my store because they overheated and/or gave the dreaded "red ring of death."

hi beautifulbrooke... i think ps3 is much better than xbox 360... its graphics is probably little better than that of an xbox 360 and you can also play blue ray discs in it... you can also consider buying a nintendo wii... the prime advantage in wii is that it will make you move... you won't be playing sitting... say, while playing tennis, you will have to play with real motions of tennis shots... same for base ball or bowling... playing boxing will really make you sweat... you can have daily exercises with wii fit... besides, other games are also available for a wii... so, if you ask me, i would suggest you to choose between ps3 and wii...
