PS3 or X-Box 360?

[QUOTE=BluCamaro;387261]Thanks guys!
After great debate, we went for the X-Box 360 250GB w/ Kinect. It's really what he wants so, that's what he's gettin. Chat around the dinner/breakfast table kept coming back to how cool it would be to not have to hold a controller. I think most of his friends have the X-Box so sharing games will be easier too.
Everyone was freakin in the store today over the "Black Ops" release.[/QUOTE]

Awesome and since his friends have 1 he will have no problem with controls or differences in the controller. My 13 yr old has one and play at his friends house all the time. And yes Black ops is cool and super hit. I also want to let you know that Toys R Us is having a sale this week. if you buy 2 $60 games they give you a $50 gift card. That comes out to $35 a game and you cant beat that.

I hear all the time from my friends that thier Xbox things are problematic. "red rings of death"? Playstations have been loyal to me. I just don't have much time to sit on my butt and play video games anymore like I used to. But, it did hurt to put down my 1st generation Playstation console. The thing was very old, but hey, we all go sometime. One day, the reader laser inside wore out. RIP.

Also, what the heck is THE DEAL WITH "BLACK OPS"?!? Am I living under a rock? What is it that drives people bananas for this thing?
