the only reasons to own a 360 are that one: some good games have dogshit performance on the ps3 because of the half-assed porting, two: the female xbox avatars are cute, and three: system link. it is in almost every aspect a worse console. one of the exceptions to this rule is that it is easier to do save editing on xbox because of the ps3's weird copy protection thing. as other users have mentioned, the controller sucks. the vibration is subpar, the face buttons and bumpers are unsatisfying to press, the dpad is the worst i've ever used and the triggers lack resistance and are too thin, though they have a comfortable curve.
