Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 comparison.

http://arstechnica.com/articles/headstart.ars/1

Good read. I'm thinking about picking up one of these new-fangled Xboxes this summer when I get my 40" Sony XBR2. It'd look great next to my shiny PS3.

Edit: And am I really the only UCP'er with a PS3?

How could you possibly have had five, when most stores didn't have much more than that (and they were limiting sales to one per customer). Or did your whole family camp out at Best Buy and pretend to be unrelated?

The PS3's aren't hard to find at all anymore. Nearly every electronics store in my area either has them or gets shipments on a regular basis. I know my local Best Buy had 200+ this past weekend.

What they need to address is some high quality games, but that is just my personal opinion. I have a Xbox 360, and still only two games...of only three games out that I like.

I don't get it, I hear all the time how stores have them sitting on shelves, but my store can't keep them in stock. Last Sunday we got 42 of them for the ad. When we opened, there were about 15 people in line, and when I left less than two hours later we had about 20 left. The next day we had none.

Is my store some weird anomaly?

Edit: And all consoles have weak launch titles.

Or just because they beat Sony to market and already sold several thousand more units.
