I agree most may say that the XBOX 360 has more games, but one thing to think about is that the xbox 360 has nearly a year over the PS3. Just be patient if you have a ps3 cause more games will be released as time passes by. I chose the PS3 due to the fact that I own the PS1 and PS2, they were/ are both great systems in their time. no worry for red ring of death here

I just noticed that someone resurrected my old thread. The decision has been made. He has made it VERY clear that he wants an Xbox 360. I guess all of his friends have them and the on-line play will be fun for him. I've already bought it (he will get it Christmas morning). Microsoft has supposedly fixed the hardware issues, plus the place where I bought it sold me an extra in-store replacement warranty. No waiting if he does have a problem.

He's not really in to racing games too much, but the system I got him comes with one. It comes with Forza 2 Motorsports and Marvel Ultimate Alliance . I have no idea if he'll like those or not. He likes sports (football, baseball, basketball...etc). I also got him Madden '08 and Halo 3.

you made a good choice going with the 360. Especially considering a lot of the "PS3 Exclusives", have been ported to 360. with the exception of metal gear solid 4 metal gear online, and final fantasy.

One guy at work has bought the 360 3 times, because the first 2 failed, and they weren't offering a trade in program.
2 other dudes switched to PS3 when their 360's died.
As long as Microsoft will gladly replace your 360 once a year, it shouldn't be a problem.
