    moikey i have two 360`s, one laptop and one pc running on eircom 3meg bb.
    No problems at all even when both consoles and pc are used for gaming at same time while the wife surfs or streams on the laptop.

    xbox beats PS3 on price hands down with the game i want included in the box i.e. call of duty......any good reason why I should consider PS3 excluding the blueray arguement?

    Whichever one most of your friends have would be the one to go for. Also most people prefer the Xbox controller. There are plenty of other threads on the topic.

    360 is a lot better than PS3 online.
    Controller is better, if you want MW2 the 360 version is superior in both framerate and gfx according to this
    http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-modern-warfare-2-face-off?page=3

    QUOTE from said article "he Xbox 360's marginally superior visuals and significantly smoother performance gives it an undoubted edge over the PlayStation 3 game, and this translates directly into a tangibly better gameplay experience."


    BUT it really depends where most of your mates are playing :)

    PC beats both though :)

    I have both and I find I use the XBOX more, and definitely more for the online side of things. The PS3 is a new addition but I'm finding I play single-player PS3-exclusive titles on it more then anything (like the excellent Uncharted and GT Prologue) at which it excels.
