Oh God no. Not that thing. Pleh! Give yourself eye cancer.
I say a 360 is a good investment assuming you like a multiplayer experience due to the Xbox Live community it has, as well as the controller style for FPS’s. I think off-centered joysticks are definitely better for playing them. If you’re a big movie buff and want high-def then go for the PS3. If you want the same console for 10 years and hope that Sony doesn’t end up going bankrupt or whatever else, then buy a PS3. Either one is going to be a quality investment, it’s just a matter of what you want.
