I'm hopeful for xbox360, and it's where my current preference is, but I am open to PS3 as well. the more I game the more I just want that good old fashioned "fun" factor, and hopefully with some nice looking graphics to give an old genre (like FPS's) a new twist, although that is by far not the most important thing. But in the end it's gona be, which console has some really good, fun games, and which one has the best online support and community. that's pretty much it, until we can see them both in action there's really no point in speculating about it. xbox gets some cool stuff we say hey that game/feature is sweet, ps3 comes out with some cool stuff and we say wow that's cool too. *then* it comes down to which one you feel would suit your personal prefences or budget more, which will probably be different for everyone. maybe both will be so good that many will get them both, maybe one will truely outshine the other, we'll just have to wait and see :D
