Advantages: self storage memory Disadvantages: cant play your old games
after only using sony playstation for so long i was pleasantly suprised with the capability of the xbox-360,
when you get used to the funny control pads they are very good with some good games coming out.
i would definataly advise you to get one whilst there are no good games for the ps3 (and they are very expensive) lost planet is probably the best game i have ever played on.
the range of games is alot more extensive than that of the sony playstation and it is alot cheaper to run.
another great point is that you dont need memory cards as everything is stored on the console itself. you can play dvds but one annoying thing that is hard to belive is that you cant even play your old xbox games. what is that all about?? ...

If you want to connect wyour Xbox 360 wirelessly to the internet your going to need the official 'Wireless Bridge" this will set you back around £60.
The PS3 has built in wireless capabilities, and is enabled from the PS 3 Menu
