Well you pay for a better service you can talk to people on different games Halo is therevolutionizing fps pretty much ever and don't even try uncharted and killzone they are both rip offs of other games. Red ring of death never happened to me and it does not happen anymore however ps3s still get the yellow light that kills it. xbox get a lot of dlc months before ps3. It does not get hacked the only time it went down for a week was because so many people bought halo 3 because it is so much better than all ps3 exclusives. the controller is better. it has more PC compatability than the ps3 AND it gets funded by one of the richest companies in the world microsoft so if you go against the xbox 360 you are basically going against your own PC unless you are stupid and own a mac
