Eventually i'm goign to have to buy one so I can play GTA IV. Which one do I buy? I'm leaning towards the PS3 since I had a PS1 and PS2 and I'm used to the controller. I don't give a shit about online gaming so that won't factor in to the decision.

Give me some good arguments as to which one I should buy.

Xbox. better and bigger games library

Ps3 if you want to watch bluray movies.

I have a 360 and i am very happy with it, tons of great games to play and since its been out a while now you can pickup alot of great games really cheap.

Here's some research material:

Which console should I buy?
Playstation 3 vs Xbox 360
The PS3 sucks.(joke title)

Also, can we get a sticky thread for this? Seriously, these threads are like clockwork.

I'm pretty torn on this.
One of my friends has COD4 on 360 and it'd be fun to play that with/against him.

But I have a 47" hdtv now and not much in the way of 1080p content. I have 1080i hd cable.

So the ps3 seems favorable as far as a "1080p content platform"

But the 360 has way more games that are of interest to me.

But I can't even find the time to play the Wii games I own. Would I really find the time to play the 360 games?

Dude, no offense, but this thread has been done to death. There's many threads and this with tons of opinions and great information. Just look them up.

It's nothing against you, but all this is going to result in is a console bashing war like always, and we don't need yet another one of those.

The xbox WILL break. Do not even think you will get lucky, it WILL break before the next generation of systems. Just keep that in mind.

if you only have a 1080i cable, you can't play 1080p content anyways, but aside from that, only a handful of ps3 games support true 1080p content.

I've had mine for well over 2 years and haven't had a single problem.
