ANSWERS

First off, wow someone saying 360 is better than PS3...this is a first O.o
But anyway, it's really all in preference. PS3 is the better choice if money is not a issue. I've never heard of this "Lag Problem" rsrlmao speaks of. There is lots of games going for both consoles, MGS4 is one good title in a long list. Games such as Killzone 2 and Infamous are nice PS3 titles, while 360 has Fable II and Gears of War II coming out for it soon. Personally I'd suggest the PS3 over the 360. PS3 does have much better Graphics, Engine, and Freedom. Also it is slightly better in the fact that it has free online play, whereas you have to pay for the 360's.

I have an Xbox360 and that has rely good game quality for gta. It depends on if you like certin games cause if you get ps3 you can't get halo. But if you get xbox you can't get games like rachet and clank.

Get xbox

Well if you want to have a system that can connect to the internet using air net (Wi Fi), then this is the system for you. Also if you want to play Metal Gear Solid 4 (The only good game on the PS3 in my opinion), then you should also get it. More problems though, if you use the wireless internet on the PS3 it tends to lag without any let up. (It will eventually get good like in an hour or two.) So you would have to get an Ethernet Cable. It will cost more, but it will be better for using the Web-browser. Also the ability to download demos. All this can also be done on the X Box 360. So instead of wasting about two or three hundred dollars extra for something you can do on the 360 (Except Play MGS4), but why wast about four - six hundred dollars on a Console just for one game? I know I wouldn't do it. In my opinion, don't get the PS3 and get a 360, it's better.

Completely up to you, my friend. Both versions of the game are pretty much the same, except the 360 has minimal lagg, due to the fubnding to help the servers have better quality. There are games coming out on the 360, that should only be PS3, but Microsoft bought rights to them also, such as Final Fantasy, but games like Halo, anf Gears of War are staying on the 360, so Sony aren't going to get TOO many games only for their platform.

Now 360 online costs, basically fo the quality of server maintenence, so if you want free, but laggy online, PS3, not as laggy, but rather expensive online for the 360.

Both have pros and cons.

It doesn't really matter too much. Both versions are practically the same, just minor differences such as the 360 being less laggy. I wouldn't buy a PS3 if you already have a 360, there isn't much point. Microsoft have been able to get most of the games that were originally meant to be especially for PS3, so you'll basically be spending £300+ for something you practically already have.

Up to you.

I got mine for the Xbox 360, it'd be better getting it for the 360 because microsoft paid rockstar for episodic content, 2 lots of it lol.

Even though I bought the game I have to say I have slowly become bored of it lol.

Buy the PS3 it's better, and PS3 has many other great games that Xbox doesnt have, like GT5.

I mean you can use your PS3 for any game but this game is very good.
