God of war 3, Uncharted 2, Little big planet 2, Heavy rain, Final fantasy 14, GT5,(edit: there's also a ratchet and clank game I think :P). Maybe there are more exclusives on the way but I can't think of them.
Edit: Might wanna check this out too. (http://www.gametrailers.com/video/firmware-3-0-playstation-3/54375)

I like the ps3 for irrational and beyond logic reasons. Happy?

Its also much less reliable and only cheaper if you dont plan on playing online.

The death rate of an Xbox 360 is 52%. I'd find a link on where I read that but I don't like any of you enough.

I kid. It's actually 54.2% though. http://www.gamespot.com/news/6215590.html

Microsoft replace them when they go bang, and the cost of online play aint exactly much and you make up for it with the money you save on games.

I've heard stories of Microsofts excellent customer service, so when they go bang, you might wanna get ready to play anything other than an xbox.

They replaced mine, and every one of my mates' which failed, 3 rings or no.
All these horror stories are by dumb fucks who thought they'd open the thing up and fix it themselves.

Its still very inconvinient to have the 360 break al the time. I know someones who had 5 different 360s 4 of which have broken.
plus a 360 costs around £170 a PS3 80gb version is about £260 and from what i heard its about £80 for online for a year. Making the PS3 only ten pounds more expensive.
Also games are the same price for the 360 as they are on the PS3.
In terms of exclusives both consoles have some good titles but the PS3 titles are normaly properly exclusive while 360 titles often come out on the PC as well.

Just checked subscription costs, no idea who you've been talking to as it's $49.99 and certainly no where near £80. I still find more new games for PS3 at £40 - £50 whereas 360 games are usually £30 - £40. So if I buy 4 games a year (I buy far more) then even without the cost of the console it's a saving.

They fail due to overuse.

Well i normaly find that new releases are the same price for both consoles give or take a pound or two at most and the guy i qwas talking to said he had to buy a live adaptor for £30 and then pay the subscription fee. Imo in terms of what you get for your money the PS3 is much better value for money when you look into it but i guess it all depends if you want to play online with the 360 and what consoles most of your mates have.

I own both as well and I disagree. Most of the PS3 exclusives are disappointments.

At least it has exclusives, unlike the 360 which whores them all out to the PC, which is the best of all.
Gran Turismo 5 is gonna be THE SHIT.

Many of the 360 exclusives aren't available on the PC. Besides, I'd rather have a better selection of "exclusives" that are also available on PC than a bunch of disappointing exclusives just because they aren't on PC.
I own my PS3 for two reasons; blu-ray player, and any worthwhile exclusives. And I must say I'm glad I have a decently extensive blu-ray collection, because the worthwhile exclusives are few and far between.

Like which ones? I think the 360 exclusives are disapointments. I was never into the Halo hype (because that is all it is), Fable 2 sucked, and many of the others are small name games that suck as well.
PS3 at least has a few good franchises still going for it.

Also many exclusives coming this fall and early 2009. I'm getting God of war 3 and Uncharted 2 for sure, maybe little big planet 2 and GT5(I hope they add car damage this time around :p).
I gotta buy a 1080p tv too cause I have an old 23" from 2001 lol. So, probably gonna get mah ps3 on christmas.

I was going to buy a PS3 when it got a pricedrop eventually but now seeing how barftastic it looks Im thinking about passing.

So you were at that place and managed to fornicate with quite a bit of the audience?
