Should I get the PS3 or 360

360 all the way. Better games and who wants Trophies.

Achievements are the 360 equivalent of PS3 trophies.

Really? Who knew? I just like the idea of a more concise gamerscore and not spliitng them up into bronze, silver, and gold ones.

Just buy something. Make up your own mind, and buy something.

What exactly makes you think that?
You're talking about two major corporations (Sony & Microsoft), they're both massive companies and both primarily concerned with money.

Get whatever your friends have. It will make life easier on you

That's honestly a tough choice. Personally, I would opt for the 360. If I had no other reason (which you really don't if it's being paid for by somebody else) the decision would be made on the basis of controller. Simply put, I prefer the 360 controllers for most games. There have been a few games on the PS3 that did not make me resent (or even loathe in the case of Killzone 2) the controller, but these all seem to fall in the categories of games I rarely play (sports, racing, rpg).

Recently I had my Xbox get red ringed and I couldn't send it into Microsoft because the warranty had expired (WHICH FUCKING EXPIRED 3 DAYS AGO). So as a very early christmas present I can chose what game system I want. I have played both systems extensively thanks to friends and both are top-notch, though I already plan on getting an Xbox I thought I should get a second opinion.

P.S. I had bought my previous 360 with my own money and my parents feel that after the highlight of my last Christmas being a slinky, that they should get me a new system insted of paying for it myself since I didn't break it, it just died.

I am very hard to buy for.

Has your warrenty expired from the years warrenty? Because they increase it to 3 years warrenty if it red rings.
However I think you should go the PS3 Fat ir thin I don't own one but i've been tempted to get one.
