Well I was just going to leave this in the other thread, but I've seen some guide threads so I'll make one too.

Here is a step by step visual guide to making a Custom List:

Step 1: Click on something of interest which you plan to add to your new list. In this example, we'll choose Battlefield: Bad Company

Step 3: A small java/flash window should pop up. Click on the button

Good news to me. You total nailed it when you mentioned the breaking up of conversations, which I always thought myself.

TBH though, I can't even honestly say the "price is cheaper" since your getting what you pay for. Last I checked the Xbox 360 elite is still $425 on Amazon. Does the PS3 include all the HD cables? Is it safe to say the HD graphics are equivalent on both platforms?

I have? I feel like I'm far from it and I have yet to distinguish any major differences between the two consoles. Aside from having blu-ray, but then you are paying more to have that feature. Exclusives, exclusives, and more exclusives. These are really the only thing (ATM) breaking the consoles up to me. The new 360 interface does look appealing, but I've not really seen any images of the PS3 interface or PS3 network. If someone could post some that would be great.

Ok about the controls.

Being the PC fanboy that I am, I did play with a PS2 a considerable amount of time in the past although I've never owned one. The controls imo were what distinguished consoles from my beloved PC. I didn't like the controls for the PS2 that much. How is the 360 controller better? Would you say its extensively different than the PS3 controller? Would a PC lover quickly warm up to a 360 controller? If I'm playing on the 360, will I feel like I'm really just playing PC? Same question for the PS3.

There is another way to do this.

  1. Find something you want to add to a list you don't have yet
  2. Click that items "Add to list" button
  3. Now click on Custom List (Might take a while to load)
  4. Then create a description for the new list
Voila! You now have a new custom list.

"Both consoles offer a ton of features and exclusives.

I don't think that there has ever been such a balanced generation of consoles EVER. I can understand how hard it can be for you.

Think it through. Role-play.

"What would my gaming life be like with a PS3? A 360? Hmm..."
"
Thats why I made this thread :D

Another question of importance: Control schemes! Which one comes out on top?

Sell it TO ME!

No, seriously. I want you to try to tell me why I should I buy an Xbox 360, or a PS3, or both, if I own neither of them or their ascendants.

This is also just for the console itself, don't really care about Blue-Ray Vs...nothing, or in any case.

Just tell me why the Xbox 360 is better than the PS3, or why the PS3 is better than the 360.

Thanks in advance.

Please note, there are many exclusive titles for both platforms, just listing the ones mentioned in this thread so others know.

UPDATE:
Reasons to own a PS3:

  1. Less noise
  2. Completely free online network
  3. Every PS3 Includes a Hard Disk Drive
  4. Blu-ray for movies
  5. Metal Gear Solid 4 (exclusive title)
Reasons to own a 360:
  1. Price drop = cheaper than PS3
  2. Xbox live better than PS3 Network? Supposedly
  3. 4 Exclusive Titles: Gears of War series; Alan Wake (only listing this considering my PC prob won't be able to handle it); Halo 3; Too Human; Perfect Dark Zero; Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts
Reasons to own both:
  1. Access to all exclusive titles.
