Question Xbox 360 or PS3??

I really am stuck, on one hand the 360 (arcade version) is $200 cheaper and their games seem to be a bit cheaper and on the other the pS3 has one hell of a line up of PS3-exclusive games and upcoming ones like GOW 3, their multiplayer is also free.

Which should I get?? Are there any upcoming 360-exclusive games to be excited about?

Note: I won't be using the blu-ray player in the PS3, so that part of the feature I could care less about

I have a 360 and had a ps3. I like both. It just depends what games you want.
360:
halo3, fable 2, gears of war 2, mass effect
ps3:
killzone 2, resistance 2, god of war 3, little big planet, mgs4

go by what games you want, both have good ones.

I have a 360, and have friends who have both>

360 has TONS of cheap games and great past exclusives. Both Single Player and Multiplayer (alah Halo3 and Mass Effect)
More games, cheaper
online costs (8us a Month)

PS3 has both aswell, tho not as popular (the new Socom etc)
Less games, better grafics
Online free/Has Web Browser

Just really depends on what you want.

Id recommend the 360 if you dont plan to use the Blu-ray

If the blu ray player isn't a factor, then get whatever system has the games you like.

And PSN may be free but that doesn't make it good.

If you don't want to be worried about using the warranty every other month, go ps3

ps3
more real exclusives (most good 360 "exclusives" are also on PC)

free online (and it is as good as XBL)
blu tooth (better than infared)
and most important no RROD!
PS3 FTW
oh dont foget the cell, that is really getting shown off with awesome games like KZ2 and MGS4.

xbox 360 is all over the better console, but if you want bluray, get a ps3, it has some good games too.

PS3... you can FOLD with it when it's idle =) And bluray is just awesome. Just watched batman with the gf (again) on BR (I know you don't care about BR, but, just rent one and you'll change your mind). PS3 is one of my best purchases ever.

Someone else mentioned this but it bears repeating: Both have exclusive games, but, anything that's 360 exclusive is usually on PC also, and PC always is better. PS3 exclusives are truly exclusive.

360 is just too expensive for all the little addons you need to make it comparable, and they have the audacity to charge a monthly fee? No thanks.

Your kidding right? The RROD and such just isn't an issue for new 360's.
