Xbox 360

The Xbox 360 is a beautiful machine. With arguably the best multiplayer video game support out there and the ability to connect with nearly every other networked device in the house, it’s the perfect home entertainment piece. And it does all of this in full 1080p high definition! Its clean looking, elegant and packs a punch. With the recent release of its upgraded Operating System you can even access Facebook and Twitter right from the couch. Streaming music, movies and television shows via Netflix in full HD is a thing of beauty. Add the Kinect accessory and the freaking thing can even see you! Come to think of it, we’re pretty sure this is exactly how Skynet started…

PlayStation 3

If you were to use one word for the PS3 it would be “fast”. OK, maybe also “awesome”. Featuring whats called a “Cell Broadband Engine” (fancy word for sick-powerful… sweet) and a Blu-ray player it has the power to deliver the ultimate high-definition experience. The recently released PlayStation 3 “Slim” system still comes with free PlayStation Network membership, built-in Wi-Fi and tons of hard drive space for your game saves, music, videos, photos, etc. It’s also worth noting, however, that it is not backwards compatible with all PS2 games. Is that enough to sway your decision though?
