I'm not saying that the 360 isn't a good system, there's just alot more things you can do with the ps3. I used to think that the 360 was better untell I bought myself a ps3, and done research. It seems more play online on the 360. The reason for modding a ps3 is because it can be a High-end computer. I myself can't obviosly buy one of those 3 thousand dollar computers.
Then there's the Wii....poor Wii is left out of the vast fight between Microsoft, and Sony, but the Wii's games, and activities are more for little kids then, teens, and adults.
360: comes in hd, and Microsoft says they have better internet connections....(ends up they have the same kind as anyone else....I think they just said that to get more people to buy.)
Ps3: The failure rate of a ps3 is 0.02. It is an internet browser, a blu-ray player, and a gaming machine, just a better investment.
Wii:Fun, interactive... gets lazy people off their arses, and exercise. It can be fun for hours.
