The only reason I stay with xbox is that Sony has no games I like. Xbox has halo and Gears of War and any other game I like both platforms have. You can hardly tell a difference between how the consoles look on the TV unless you're two feet away from it. What it comes down to is really what games you like and what your friends have not hardware. Pretty soon you won't even be able to tell a difference in the graphics because the human eye won't be able to. That's why I think Microsoft is moving in the direction they are, a true "entertainment" system
