I had a choice of buying an Xbox 360 or a Playstation 3. As soon as I found out the Playstation 3 was FREE TO PLAY ONLINE, i was sucked in. I purchased the original "Fat" PS3 about 6 months after release. Unfortunately after a good amount of time it broke (the yellow light.) It was partly my fault... Read full review »

Pros Able to play PS3, DVD, Blu-Ray DVD and CDs and can stream movies via Netflix.

Cons It is still a little expensive and not able to play PS2 games.

Recommended it? Yes

Well, since our family has been using Sony Playstations for years (the original and then the PS2), it was a natural fit for us to get the Playstation 3. However, we did wait a while until we got the system, as we were still enjoying games on the PS2 as well as the Wii that we had gotten a... Read full review »

The Xbox 360 elite is a great system. It supports single, multiplayer, and online play.

Cons Freezes Up, Bulky, overheats or overplayed

Recommended it? Yes

I really liked the elite better than the original 360 because it did improve some features. Although the elite is still to loud for me it is not as loud as our original 360. We also have not had red ring of death issues... yet. It does still get to hot and overheat with lots of use and we have had... Read full review »
