Xbox or PS3

         |
It depends a lot on what you want to do with your console and also what a lot of your friends have if you plan to go online. I have a PS3 and that was mainly because of the Blu-ray player, Metal Gear Solid4 and Uncharted when it was new. Plus practically all my mates are on PS3 which eased the decision.
Cost shouldn't be too much of a factor if you go Xbox you might as well go Elite for £200 so theres only £50 difference, more than warranted by the Blu-ray imo (but of course only if you're gonna use it).
Plus of course the PSN is free to use (for the foreseeable future and not £40 a year) and its wireless out of the box (£50 for Xbox)
The only downside to the PS3 that I see is that it usually seems to get the shoddy side of multiplatform games, it's easier for the devs to optimise for Xbox then port than vice versa, although recently some games have bucked that trend, and upcoming titles like Final Fantasy XIII should hopefully be far superior on the PS3. That said if you wanna play Halo and the Mass Effect series you need an Xbox.
Anyhoos it's alll your choice, hope I've been helpful

Thanks Jebbo
The only game am interested in is (Modern Warfare 2).When i had my xbox last year it was the only game i played on, no other game existed in my world at the time. any way, Sold the xbox 3week before they announced the release of of modern warfare2. So i didn't really bother getting a console until the release of cod MW2 was out and since playing it on my bros xbox. I now have to get.
But on 1 hand: i have my bro on the xbox and some of my friends.
On the other hand: I have a really good friend and some other friends on the PS3.
So am torn between the 2, but leaning more to the PS3 at the mo.

As mentioned you need to pick the platform that your friends will be using but as you have stated you have a mixed split between platforms, hmmmm tough one!
The differences between multi-plat games these day is minimal so I wouldn't worry about that. For me I would focus on what exclusives are available now and in the pipeline, which makes the PS3 the stronger candidate.
Do you have any interest for Natal or the PS motion controller that will be released later this year?

PS motion controller looks like its going to sake things up a bit. TBH i cant see myself having any thing to do with project Natal as i cant see its implication going down to well with war/fighting games and as said at the E3 ''you need a button for a trigger as it just would feel right" 4:38 in to the vid

Check out this FAQ by Stuie: Which Console Should I Buy? It contains links to a number of threads you might find interesting 
I've often said, if you can only have one console this gen - it has to be the PS3. The power, the blu ray, the platform exclusives make it head n shoulders above the rest. The others have plus points too - but the PS3 is the must-have console for anyone who is more than a little serious about games.

PS3 it is then... Just read Reasons to buy a PS3 I guess the deciding factors are the Linux, open platform, free online gaming, built in Wi-Fi, motion sensor controls and the PSP connectivity which i think is cool.
And that's why am going for the PS3.
Thanks Azz it was of grate help.
