Ok I have both the Xbox 360 And the Ps3....when it comes to online gaming like call of duty and sports games online I vote Xbox 360. You will get the 3 rings eventually everyone has or will its covered under the mfr warrenty the first year after that is 99 bucks or something. Now for the Ps3 you got the blueray dvd player inside but the online play isn't that hot and the main reason why I prefer the 360 is because 95% of the game for Ps3 are 720p HD output when the games for 360 are all 1080p. But I do keep my Ps3 around especially for God of War and a couple other Ps3 exclusives. Hope I could help you out man.
