Xbox 360 Vs. Ps3 Vs. Wii

[lucluc]

XBOX 360 for sure

1. cheaper (not only the console, the most accesoires are also cheaper)

2. design is nicer look at the controler its really nice to see

3. the wireless controler is better weight(wired is to light) so playing is more confortable (some ppl maybe think this is stupid argument but this is my opinion try it yourself)

4. really good customer support

No matter how I see it, the 360 ends being the more expensive (if you remove pirating factor).
I own a 360, but because I prefer single player and am very selective of game genre most the 360 library doesn't interest me or warrants me keeping a game for too long except for a very few, but since those are now being ported to PS3 w/ more extras I probably won't be keeping my 360 too much longer.

Also, microsoft needs to stop releasing games on both 360 and PC, b/c every PC release means I won't buy for console.

why u won't buy games for the xbox if they are also released for the pc??
pc is better? or are we now talking about the "pirating factor"?

Why do I buy for PC, but not on console is a matter of pricepoint ($50 vs $60) and modding community (This may change as devs focus more on DLC).

The reason why I generally find 360 is more expensive dependent on comparing systems on equal settings.

Xbox360 Elite = $300 w/ wireless controller + wireless adapter ($50-$70) + LIVE gold($50/year) + Dashboard built-in Netflix + chargeable battery for controler ($20?)
PS3 = $300 w/ wireless, chargeable controller + wireless adapter (built-in) + PSN (free) + Blue-Ray Movies + Disc based Netflix

Of course, I know some people can get LIVE completely free or at a discounted rate.
I do not count the packaged games b/c that is up to tastes of the player.

As for the controller, I like the 360 controllers for its feel and for fps, but I hate it for fighters because of the hatch instead of a D-pad. PS3 controller I feel is more all-round.

Something else I didn't include is hard drive updrading, 360 harddrives must be bought separately at about ($70 and up for 60gb-120gb; could be cheaper), PS3 harddrive can be swapped w/ a drive (ssd or not) (320gb easily under $100)

Please keep in mind this homework I did on my own (b/c I've been wondering whether to get a PS3 or keep to my 360, and I do not mean to implicate one system is better than the other. Xbox LIVE is a great network for gaming, and the 360 does have more exclusives than PS3 (though less than the Wii).

I've gotta say Playstation 3. It has good graphics and some games X Box 360 doesn't have. GTA, MGS 4, etc.
