And as far as console failure, I am on my third xbox. The first one red lighted on me and I sent it back and Microsoft sent me a new one. I went and bought an Elite after I sent my first one back, and after about a year of that one, I received some sort of error (E349234 or some shit), Microsoft wanted 90 bucks to fix that one, but after a while I got them to take it for free and send me a new one.
I am on my second PS3. The first one I bought didn't boot when I got it home from the store.
Overall, I would still rank the PS3 higher even though the Xbox has the better games. The PS3 is much more complete as a media player, as it will play every single file type without encoding needed (except hd .mkv's which need a 2 minute run through mkv2vob, as opposed to on the xbox where you have to convert .mkv's to .mpg and it takes hours). PS3 + external hard drive = no need to have cable service when you can just download everything off the internet.
