i own both, and prefer the ps3 only when i look at it on whole, but the potential for the ps3 compared to the xbox, apperently, is amazing but we will haev to wait for developers to make the ps3 the lead consolse, or the potential will never be used, which will be a shame
on the price front, the ps3 is basicly the same price as the xbox if u get all the add-ons , to raise the xbox to have the same features as the ps3, i.e. wireless, bigger HDD, blue-ray player (if/when it comes out)
