The main thing that plagues me when I switch between playing consoles is when I have to ask.
"What button do you press to do such and such?"
And they answer X, and I press A on the XBOX pad (Which is where X is on the PlayStation pad)

Oh Guitar Hero is more like it!
I've been playing GH3 on the PS2 lately, I can do most songs on expert, except the last set and Cult of Personality (that solo is crazy!)

Xbox isent that gud becuase u have to pay more for online play whereas with the ps3 u can use the same internet conection as us computer but the gud thing about the xbox live that u pay extra ontop of ur normal internet bill is that there is a less likel;y chance of lag if someone is using the internet to download somthing while ur playing a game online and the games are cheaper but im a sony man soo... and apparentl the xbox360 is only a prototype for a much smaller version like a handheld like the sony PSP

Just a few points you should know:
1.) A 13 month subscription to Xbox Gold is $39.99 and 1600 points is $19.99.
2.) The 360 and the PS3 use the internet identically. Sony makes their access free, but you still have to already have the internet first (which in turn, costs). And if im not mistaken, the 360's internet has to be wired (correct me if I'm wrong, please), while as the PS3 is wireless capable. So buying an ethernet cable costs an average of $15.00. So basically, having online capabilities will cost you regardless, just a bit more for the 360.
3.)If you have the proper internet connection and speed, lag is not an issue for either system. It's almost impossible to run Live on dial-up, but on the other hand, if you're using cable, DSL, T3 etc.., you're connection won't lag, regardless of how many people are on the internet.

4.) Games for both systems run about $49.99- $59.99 depending on the game. Yes, the 360 does have cheaper games, but that's because the 360 has been since November 22, 2005 (in the US) and the PS3 has be out since November 11, 2006. So Xbox has more games that are "platinum hits" as opposed to the PS3. But a reliable source at a Game Crazy says that Sony has 250+ games to be released between now and the release of the PS4, while Microsoft only has about 125 to be released before the Xbox 720.
5.) How can the 360 be a prototype for a smaller version? It is basically the same size as the original Xbox.

We just got the PS3 today, and it's amazing. Tomorrow we're hooking the internet up so we can go live.

The newer ones are not, but the first gen of PS3's are backwards compatible. If you have a 60 or 80gb PS3, it is NOT backwards compatible. The 40gb PS3's are
