PS3 or XBOX 360, What Should A Guy Chose?

Whats up Guys?

Several friends and peeps that I know have been pondering the idea of getting back into video games the past few weeks. Most of the questions are geared towards one purchasing a PS3 or an Xbox 360. So I decided to do some useful research on this topic. I myself have experienced both systems and can appreciate each one for certain things.
The PS3 and the Xbox 360 have much to offer but on different levels. So far, the Xbox 360 has a much larger video game library, higher rated games, more add-on peripherals (HD-DVD) and definitely a huge online community and service. The Sony PS3 is unique that it already incorporates a Blu-Ray drive (High Definition Movie format) and does not require an add-on accessory such as the Xbox 360. Both systems integrate to ones home theater and home network seamlessly, but the Xbox 360 can also be used to transfer music, photos and video from any Microsoft XP or Vista PC in the household without much configuration. Both systems are unique but should be considered as a gaming system primarily, unless you are looking for a cheaper well preforming Blu-Ray Disc player.
Just because this topic can get very heated between fanboys supporting each platform, I am including a few other very detailed and awesome reviews comparing each system. Please read these, they will help you make a decision.

In conclusion of this article, I do happen to have a favorite. I totally favor the Xbox 360 for game play purposes, but I also favor the PS3 for the sleek looks and its ability to play Blu-Ray format movies. So I leave it up to you to decide on what you really want a game system for. Do you want it for a solid all-around gaming experience? Then go with the Xbox 360. Or do you want one for an all-in-one system that plays Blu-Ray media right out of the box? If you have the money, just get both! :)
