Strongly disagree

You are entitled to your opinion, but just because you can stream movies on the 360 does not make it a better game system.

Spec wise the ps3 dominates the 360 in every possible way, there is just no arguing that fact. If you want anything over and above a stock unit you are foced to pay (ie wireless network, paying 99 for a crappy wireless dongle). They also force you to buy THERE hard drive priced 5x above what market value is.

That is the problem microsoft has always had they sell you the base unit at a decent price and then charge out the *ss to make it as functional as the competition, anyone remember 'windows power pack'??

I truly do like microsoft and their products (excluding the 360), but there tactics are horrible for the consumer.

Few pros of the ps3 over 360.

Pro- Nicer controller, better feel, higher quality build (ala apple)

Pro- Faster unit, built in bluetooth/blueray (i think 360 has bluetooth not sure)

Pro- To date no recalls due to faulty hardware

Pro- No pay to play server (aka Xbox Live)

Con- Lack of games, accessories (remote, controllers) very expensive, but so are 360's

All in all the PS3 is an amazing unit, i run it with Yellow dog linux with my microsoft wireless entertainment desktop 800 kb/mouse and absolutely love it. Runs apps at a relatively responsive rate, i can surf the net, play movies, stream movies, IM etc, everything you can do on a 360 and then some (run a full blown OS vs a few built ins), hell i can check my email, charge my cell phone and it even wipes my own *ss for me! If only they had more games....... So lets see the 360 top that buddy.
