Jumping the bandwagon from Sony to Microsoft is crazy, the only thing Microsoft has to offer is a superior online experience which can easily be added via updates to the PS3, most people are now converting to the PS3 as the 360 "exclusives" are crap compared to Sony's (who the hell wants Halo 3, I hated it) superior line up, would you really put temporary network superiority over Sony's Bluray, Great exclusives, Free online (you get what you pay for I suppose, pay nothing, get nothing in return) and other things? 5:~Sony are focused in making a home entertainment system, with gaming being their second aim, the Xbox however is solely built around gaming, hence the emphasis on the online, however Xbox live is well known for lagging a lot more then PSNetwork. Also name 1 developer that actually favors the 360 (except the obvious 1st party developers- ie Bungie)? I hate it when people say "oh this game is 1 fps faster then the PS3 version, so the developer must favor us" Sure the delays are annoying but Sony take things slow, while Microsoft rush (RROD is a good example of them rushing, also the faulty disc drives) I am sure when Sony finally delivers, it will DELIVER. Much like when the PS2 first came out it did quite bad in sales, by the end of its life it was huge and had improved drastically. My conclusion is that both consoles have their own pros and cons (PS3 having bluray, Xbox having superior online service) but you can only really judge them if you own both. I used to love my 360 but after witnessing the RROD, leading me to purchase a PS3 while I was waiting for a new one I have barely touched my 360, only to talk to some friends and have entirely given up paying a subscription for essentially nothing much better then the PS3 Dear dear Jordan, sounds like you have been reading xbox blogs and havent done your research 0.0.

1:~CoD4 problems and connection to host errors are also at large on xbox and yes, infinity ward have failed to roll out a patch- not Sonys problem
2:~In game messaging is already on numerous PS3 games (for example resistance, Rainbow 6, Motorstorm) but no one really knows why it wasn’t included at launch and it has been known for 3 months that In-game xmb (which includes messaging) is out this June, along with a basic form of achievments
