If you want to play lots of cool exclusives, get a PS3. You won't have to pay for online play either, I never noticed any difference between the PS3 and the Xbox online play. Both got their lagg. People often say that you get less lagg on a Xbox but trust me, if your on a crappy internet connection, you get lagg, no matter if you play on a PS3 or an Xbox. Also, the PS3 got a Blu-Ray player, Xbox doens't so if you want to watch some good HD movies you should get the PS3. My opinion: Get a Playstation 3.
