Also, The price of the Xbox 360 is still more than the PS3 slim, Because of this.
Ps3 slim as built in WIFI and free online gaming for $299.
Xbox 360 is $250 for the system, $99 for the wifi adapter, and however much it is for a year of XBL. Though, I have more friends on XBL, and The 360 has zune integration.
So I'm torn. Not that i can afford one anytime soon anyway..

the wifi can be found for $70 or you can use 3rd party bridge for as little as $40 or just use ethernet and avoid wireless lag.
XBL is worth the money as can be found for as little as $3.26 a month. Also the 360 comes with a headset for online.

For me this worked out pretty well because I'd already setup a computer as a media center anyway (highly recommended)

But, back to the point. Hmmm... I need to start playing my 360 more.

If you have one of the newer Xboxes (one with three heatsinks) it's fixable. Of course, I had no choice, I wasn't under warranty.

To some PS3 cred, the PS3 is only half the noise, but twice the price! :)

apparently they're reliable-er than they were, but mine... i dont even reassemble mine any more.

And it's not looking so good.
But the differences are drastic when comparing an older Xbox to a newer one.
The oldest one, which I think was the first batch of 360s had an unending number of failures, so the game store gave my friend unofficial replacements, which promptly failed. His last one, which is the later model, is doing fine.
The most solid Xbox my other friend had, which he got in 2006 with no failures of any kind, which made his PS3 look so buggy, died with RRoD just last month.
My other friend with an Xbox (pre 2006) had a RRoD, but once he got it back from MS, it's been smooth ever since.
He also says MS is totally cool about dealing with RRoD Xboxs.

Thanks for all the advice - I think I will still sit on the fence.

I would prefer that they bundle sports games in these instances, but it is hard to argue with names like Disney and LEGO when it comes to kid appeal.
