If u can get a pc then do it, u get so many more games and its so much easier to play on + u can play online for free and use other programs to chat, Xbox gets more games than ps3 and a bigger online community, but u have to pay for it and you will end up with a few little kids, but the money you save on the xbox is probably worth it. But at the end of the day the ps3 is a cheap blu ray player aswell. It really just comes down to wot u can afford... i just hope Santy Claus brings me an xbox or ps3 and a nice flat screen tv
