lilmaniac, your argument for the PS3 vs 360 is worthless...
We dont need 60gb of hard drive space (20gb is perfectly fine...) For one, I dont know how you could keep that much game date on there (with oblivion I didnt even come close and I saved a ton) and second, I doubt you will be playing all the games you have saved on there (you can delete the games you dont play)
We dont need a HD-DVD player, dvd is perfectly fine (although HD-DVD will surpass blu-ray and become the standard)
We dont need to buy the microsoft wireless adapter (I can use a $30 wireless adapter from newegg or free w/ wired which works just fine)
I havent played sonys online service, but I am aware that the previous generation xbox live was significantly better than sonys service. Live is an excellent service and very user friendly...i think its worth it.
The Xbox 360 will have the capability to be used as a DVR in the near future (fall)
I havent played resistance so I cant comment on its gameplay (gamespot rated GoW higher in every category except value where it was even), but from looking at the screens GoW looks better than Resistance

The games on the 360 look better than the PS3 (specifically COD3 and Madden 2007 look significantly better on the 360) gamespot agrees with me, they even had an article on it.

btw, several of my buddies have PS3s and 360s and they feel the same way I do (I've compared them directly)
