I beg to differ, the Xbox 360 Elite has a HDDVD player integrated. I know because I've watched a few, even though I dont have a HD TV.

The numpty detector has caught fire.

I don't know much about PS3 so I am going to stick with Xbox.

Xbox-
pros- wide selection of games
high qualty graphics
great Online play
Good amount of memory
quality downloadable content
Voice chat
HD

Cons- Pay-to-play
online play laggy
Exspensive
slim but also big and bulky

well that is all i can think of...... I am tired (yawn)

Yeah, it's too bad XBOX Live costs money. Wish it was free like Wii.

Would this mean I could plug my mouse+keyboard into a friend's 360 and show them that controllers really suck for FPS?

Also, for PS3 Pros, it has better hardware than 360.

Thats one way of putting it, sure lol. I'll have to upload the list of compatible ones but I've found that even the most generic brands of USB Keyboard/Mouse seem to work. I love the Keyboard for those quick message typing situations and hotkey functions for my Rpgs, the mouse I've found out to be excellent for C&C type titles. =)

HD-DVDs don't matter anymore because they're dead. Blue ray is the next generation.

And yeah, the PS3 has some really nice hardware. You can also plug in a keyboard into it as well.

everyone always says 360 con is pay to play live. Nothing against wii online and ps online but they are not that good. xbox live destroys them both when it comes to the features,community and quality of online play.

Also it's better that you have to pay because you are paying for live to be updated and kept easy to use and add new features etc.;)

When Playstation Home comes out. PS Online will be just as good, if not superior, to Xbox Live. And still free

Hard to tell, it'll be close.
