My Short Xbox 360 V.S. Playstation 3 Review

I am going to keep this short. See if I can keep your attention.

Features I like on the Xbox 360

1. You can use a regular IR remote to control the DVD player
2. Online "marketplace" is FAST and you can download demos and play games at the same time
3. Xbox live
4. Removable Battery in the controller

Stuff I hate/dislike about the xbox 360

1. Huge "power brick"
2. HD-DVD drive is external and large
3. Xbox live costs
4. Text input even with a keyboard is slow

Features I like on the PS3

1. You can load linux on it
2. Bluetooth built in so you can use regular cell phone headsets
3. Blueray player is built in so no external player like Xbox 360
4. Its quite. Very quiet
5. No giant power brick, the power supply is built in.
6. USB ports everywhere
7. Free online account
8. Standard HDMI and Optical Audio ports are built in

Stuff I hate/dislike about the PS3

1. No way to control the DVD player features with my universal remote
2. When the controller is wireless it cannot turn the PS3 on
3. Controller does not charge when the PS3 is off
4. Online marketplace is SLOW and you have to wait for downloads to finish before doing anything else
