I have decided the time has come for me to get one of these systems. My only delima is which one. I am upstairs, so for online play I would have to crawl through the attic to wire the 360 to my modem. That would pretty much suck. I am more into the games for 360.

Xbox 360: Halo 3, Gears of war
PS3: Resistance


So what should I get?

Edit: Could I connect the 360 to my laptop and use my laptops wireless connection on the 360?

Double Edit: I looked into it. I can connect the 360 to my laptop to share my wireless internet connection.

I say 360 because it has/will have more stand out games.

As for the laptop thing im not sure my friend wondered the same thing, but he hasn't tried it yet.

Halo 3 comes out in a 4 weeks. That greatly strengthens my interest in getting a 360.

Heh... Sorry if you miss out on Killzone 2 buddy... 

Halo 3 = Same Crap you did in Halo 1 & 2

Killzone = Whole new graphic engine, completely new weapons,  make your  plot as you go(Squad leaders will give you things to do as you strike farther and farther in to Helghast Capital.)

oh.. forgot to add a little more.

Lean & peek moves, shoot threw weak terrain, hardly any enemy dies the same way(enemies die in the enviorment that you gave them(Shoot in the foot they fall forward, shotgun to the back of the causes them to fly forward... etc...) I can say more but no one wants to listen.

Also with the PS3, there is alot more internet options, the PS3 can take outstanding ammounts of game play time without hurting or phasing anything(I'm talking Days). Blu-Ray, yea... it really does add to much, but thats just a little "sweetener" to add to the whole thing.

I've never even played the original Killzone. 

Also, Resident Evil 5 is going to be on PS3. Thats gonna be really good to. But I have also heard rumors of it coming to 360 as well.

PS3. I've got mine, and I love it. Plus, PS3 has all the games I want. Killzone 2, GTA, COD4, Medal of Honor, etc. Plus, the Wifi, Blu-ray, and free online play is real nice.

And if you upgrade the 360 with all the features that you would get with the PS3, it'll come out to cost about the same.

yea.. The AI will drastically improved, The "break" will be a lot more "user" friendly, lots and lots of markers(pump, mech, electro) and I think they are actually going to use Refs in gameplay.

GTA is october this year?

I'd go for 360 because it has Gears, Halo, GTA. R6: Vegas. Amazing games.  It's also cheaper. Only problem is paying for Live

PS3 is getting good games like Killzone and GTA. It also has R6: Vegas and Resistance. I didn't play alot of resistance, but I was not that impressed. The good games aren't out yet.
Que pasa?

You don't need to hook your 360 up to the laptop - you can get a wireless hub at Best Buy for a few bucks (assuming you have Wi-Fi).
