I'll be getting one in about Christmas 2009, if I get one. By then they'll have dropped significantly in price.

From what I head from my friend who went to E3 yesterday:

Quote:
The PS3's Graphics are noticably better than Xbox 360. They look like they're probably using the same poly counts, but I dunno, the PS3 just looks alot more "Next Generation" than the Xbox.
