I am about to buy one of these not sure which one yet. I will be using it for watching movies, playing some online games when I get bored and the casual sports games.

You can obviously do all 3 on both. But if you aren't going to be gaming often I'd consider that you'll have to pay a membership fee for XBOX Live to game online but you won't with a PS3. May not be a big deal to you but it's always something to consider when talking about casual gaming.

Another thing to consider is the PS3 has a Blu Ray player and the 360 doesn't.

You really can't go wrong with either of the two systems but for a lot of people who are casual gamers and want to watch movies the Blu Ray player in the PS3 is the difference.

Sorry, not really into all the games and shite so I don't know much about either. I know I have a friend who is on Xbox #3 because they all keep shitting out on him.

I use my Xbox much more than my ps3. Probably because that's what all my friends use to play online. The benefit of the ps3 is the bluray and a few console exclusive games. If you already have a Bluray player and aren't too attached to the special games ps3 has, I would go with he Xbox.

Ps -my xbox has never had a problem for over 2 years.

If you won't be playing much, and using it more for movies, go with the PS3

This. Netflix works so much better on the PS3 also. And plus, blu ray.

Really? I will have to download it and add it to my Netflix account. I only have it on 2 Xboxes and my phone so still have two devices left to add

Before I do though...Do you have to be a PS+ user to use it like you have to have a gold Xbox live account?

Not at all.


The interface is just a lot more user friendly IMO. I haven't touched in on the 360 in a while, so maybe they've fixed it, but just fast forwarding and rewinding was a pain. Also browsing sucked. PS3 works like a champ.

fricking this.

Whoever came up with the GUI for Netflix on 360 needs to be fired.

Unless I am a completely missing something, you have to play the show/movie to select a different episode of that season or different season.
