Xbox360 or ps3 - what do i buy?
I tried my mates xbox 360 for a week and i was impressed at how i could ethernet it to my switch and stream films from my server to tv. I decided to get one but stopped at the last moment because someone told me the ps3 is better? Whats your opinions? The main reason i want a console is to stream films. Please dont suggest a media center. i want either an xbox 360 or a ps3. now which one?
In my opinion, My first choice would be PS3 as my first gaming console because it can play blu-ray, reliable hardware and its free online but it's not fully developed while in Xbox 360, the online gaming is much better, lots of players to play with and doesn't have a blu-ray capability.
