Me and a buddy were having a simular debate. This is the e-mail I sent him. I say 360 all the way, mainly because you can get one. good luck getting a ps3 in the next few months.
We were debating if the PS3 was going to be a sucess:
"no doubt in my mind the ps3 is better the 360,hardware wise. But, the xbox was better than the ps2 hardware wise, and ps2 won that battle. The ps3 is going to rock, the competition is just way to great. Microsoft has unlimated resources when it comes to advertising and promoting the 360(oooh, and halo 3). Sony is a company in trouple after the psp didn't do what it was expected. And Nintendo, the Wii has been clamed to be the ipod of video game systems, and its sooo much cheaper than both of them. I don't belive any one system is going to dominate, and the HD dvd Blue Ray market isn't big enough to make a difference(yet). I think the price of the 360 will drop before the HDdvd attacment will come out, because when it comes out the 360 will be on it's second year.
Sony has to get this right, or it will be another PSP, a great system that didn't do as expected. "
