I bet xbox fanboys are giving it a low score in Gamestop that's why.

PS3 is the Best but find out what your friends have and if they have Xbox live you can play video games online with them and talk and it is reallly fun but Wii still has a chance because it is still a really good system but it doesn't have as good graphics and game features as a xbox or ps3 does because on wii call of duty it has terrible graphics and bad game features unlike the other 2. In all and all it just depends on what games you like E=Wii M=PS3 T=Xbox 360

the other pples are right, get a ps3... but also if you google, ps3 price drop, april... you get a lot of results... the ps3 is gonna have a 100 dollar price drop around spring time, it's not official, but many people are talking about it, and sony hasn't denied it (at least from what i know). so wait 2 months, and you get it 10 bucks cheaper.... but you get a free 3 year warranty, wich is worth the money, little things do happen to ps3's.

well, your parents know better... and a lot of people is figuring out how they can buy PS3. You are lucky your parents are getting it for you.. you can't complain.

I asked the same question and most people went for the ps3.

ps3

u should get the ps3 wii sucks 360 has red ring of death

Why you should get a PS3 and NOT a Xbox 360 or Wii



The expected lifetimes of current home video game consoles:



Xbox 360--2005-2010, you'll get 1 and a half years out of it

Wii-2006-2010, you'll get 1 and a half years out of it

Playstation 3-2015 (Sony said they made it to last 10 years, so 2006+10 years=2016, round it down just to be safe), you'll get 7 years out of it.



The PS3 is the obvious choice here. In short, it has better reliability, multimedia capabilities, a large list of exclusives and more coming out in 2009 and in the future, it will have over-the-top graphical capabilities (google “Heavy Rain”). And to those who say the Xbox 360 is cheaper, well then just look at the following list:



With the PS3, you get:

-A Blu-Ray player, which if you wanted one of equal value would blow at least a $700 hole in your wallet, plus a mean DVD-upconverter

-Free online service, the Playstation Network, which is only a few steps behind Xbox Live these days

-An ever-growing list of exclusives, like Resistance 2, LittleBig Planet, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, Metal Gear Solid 4 and in the future: inFamous, Killzone 2, God of War 3, Uncharted 2, L.A. Noire, Heavy Rain and Massive Action Game (M.A.G.—in which over 256 players will be able to play on the same map at the same time)

-More flexible in terms of hardware, e.g. swappable HDD, USB mini cable, etc.

-Built in, superior Wi-Fi

-Web browser

-A super sleek system complete with chrome trim and a slot loading disc drive

-HDMI 1.3, Xbox 360 only has HDMI 1.2 (major difference despite only a 0.1 difference)



With the Xbox 360, you get:

-DVD Player/upconverter

-Xbox live, which is $50/year, and not even worth it

-Halo 3 and Gears of War 2 (that’s a lot of exclusives compared to the PS3, if you ask me: P)

-Umm…can’t really say anything about non-proprietaryness, because Microsoft inflates the prices for their accessories.

-A 1 in 3 failure rate (it's not "if", it's "when")s

-Many people are on their 5th or 6th 360's already because of RROD, and my friend is on his 11th!



So here’s a quick run-down of what you must buy with the PS3 and 360:



PS3:

Console $400

Game $60

Controller $55

Charger $2-10--any USB mini cable will do

Total: $517 ($2 USB mini cable)



Really, if you bought all the things the PS3 offers SEPERATELY, you would be able to buy roughly 3 PS3's with that money (gaming console+computer+SUPERB Blu Ray player)



Xbox 360:

Console $300

Game $60

Controller $60

Play and Charge kit x2 $60 (for 2 controllers)

Xbox Live $60

Wi-Fi $100

Total: $640



That’s not cheaper, so get a grip on it! Sony said that they made the PS3 to last a decade. The multi-platform games are using about 25% of the PS3's graphical potential. So there's lots of wiggle room in the future for much more brighter, detailed and massive environments.



On the other hand, most multiplatform games are using about 98% of the 360’s potential. And they look about the same. At this rate in 1 year, the PS3 will have outshone the 360 graphic wise. It’s just that the 8-core Cell Broadband Processor is very complex, and takes developers time to get used to. And they are getting the hang of things. The PS3 has a very good reliability rate: only 0.2% failure rate (note the decimal), while Xbox 360's have a 30% failure rate. So, for every 1000 of both consoles produced, 2 PS3's are defective, whilst about 330 Xbox 360's are defective. The numbers speak for themselves. Many game developers have OPENLY stated that in the near future, and right now, they will use the PS3 as a lead-developing platform, and then they will port the games to the 360.



Also, many Xbox fanboys will say "Sure, LIVE is 50 bucks a year, but you get what you pay for." Isn't this like a Sony fanboy saying "Sure, PS3 is a 100 bucks more, but that is *pretty much* all you pay for, other than games?"



So in conclusion, the PS3 is better—you get the most bang for your buck, and it's an incredibly advanced all-in-one home media center hub. You can even install Linux or Windows XP and use it as a computer-legally! While with the Xbox 360, Microsoft will ban your 360 from certain things, if you install the OS at all (just try to bypass the security).



Hope this helps!

Joke:

Q: Why do they call it a "360"?



A: It really does a 360:



1) You get it

2) It breaks down

3) You ship it to Microsoft

4) Wait 3-4 weeks

5) Be happy, and start again from step 1.
