Only two minor things I found in favour of Live firstly you can view your friend's friends list and secondly in your Gamertag you can use a space rather then a underscore like I said very minor things that really don't hurt you in anyway for their absence. Marketplace vs Playstation store In Xbox's marketplace things are arrange in a MS points fashion this is detrimental as often times you are left with carry over points that while it is techincally a form of currency it is a useless one as you are often left with only enough points for trivial crap like avatar decoration in the playstation store its a one time purchase at the proper purchase price so the map pack for MW2 is 1200 MS this often translates to an expenditure if you do it through Credit card it ends up being close to 22$ just to get the map because you didn't have enough points left over forcing you to buy to sets off points for varying amounts or a points card for 19.99 for 1400 ms both which is more then Playstation store's straight flat out price of 14.99 or whatever it happens to be. The games now Xbox and PS3 have their own that console only games for Xbox it's Halo, Mass Effect and fable for PS3 its uncharted Killzone 2 resistance MAG folklore heavy rain demon souls god of war 3.... I mention only the system only titles worth mentioning notice a difference? PS3 have more and better stand alone titles for their system then the Xbox has for its own the only reason I pretty much keep my 360 around is because my girlfriend loves halo all the other games we play like MW2 GTA 4 Fallout 3 etc... are all split for both consoles and much to the chagrin of the guy who said MW2 runs differently you are wrong... I am sorry you are just wrong they run the exact same and thats just how it goes I know you are trying to make the Xbox seem better buts its not it plays the same games no differently and trust me on this I do have both consoles.... Now lets talk about options Microsoft in all their glory are damned and determined to steal your money yes for a while their the PS3 was more expensive but stop and think about what you got for your money **** Xbox 360 had to make an Elite console just so they wouldn't have been screwed now lets not make the mistake that an Elite console is better then a arcade console because that is also a fallicy the only true difference between an arcade console and an elite console is the colour on the outside and an elite comes with a larger harddrive that said elites are what now a 120GB hard drive well so are PS3's and with that 120gb harddrive and same price tag as the xbox elite you also get a wireless network adapter 100-150$ extra purchase on the Xbox 360, a blueray player 100$ extra purchase for the HD DVD drive on the 360 not that you would want it but it is a point nonethless and you never have to buy batteries for your PS3 controllers since I have owned my xbox I did a calculation the other day since I have owned an Xbox 360 I have spent about 150$ in batteries for the stupid controllers something you don't have to worry about in the PS3 and while we are on the subject Bluedog mentioned that he liked the 360 controllers better but thats just plain wrong once you are used to running a PS3 again the controllers are so much better on the PS3 and you don't have this bulky battery pack getting in your fingers way.  Now some people have mentioned netflix and Last.fm while I say good for you I am Canadian so those things mean absolutely nothing to me as they don't offer those services in Canada so thats a useless reason say one is better then the other if those services were offered everywhere in the world it would be a definite boost in the favour of Xbox but because they aren't I am gonna throw those things out, anyways now for what the PS3 can do that the Xbox can't PS3 runs an internet browser while I have to computers so this seems kind of silly it does allow for the streaming of internet videos meaning I can watch all my favourite shows on my tv which is important because some times its much better just sit back and cuddle with my girlfriend then both of us huddle close around my laptop what it can also do that my Xbox cannot is read a large variety of Movie codecs, This is a great boon for my piracy streak as now I am not so scared of the type of codec I download because I know my PS3 will read it off my laptop well thats about all I got for now give me another day or so and I will probably able to think of a lot more reasons why the PS3 is betterOh one more reason while this feature isn't avaliable on the newer PS3 consoles the Backwards compatiblitly mode was far superior to that of Xbox's as xbox withheld titles comptability for the sole reason that they wanted to charge you to buy it off of Marketplace</blockquote>
