  1. Console War become exciting and interesting day by day. These days X-box has more promises than Playstation, I would like to choose X-box 360 between both. Gaming on it become more conformable.

  2. early ps3's didn't have WiFi either, the 20gb model didn't. So you can't add that as a pro for the ps3 and a con for the 360. As it's a con on both consoles.
