360 vs ps3

I bought both consoles when I found out SC4 was coming out on both and actually used my xbox for the 1st two years almost exclusively as I was new to the whole online thing and that was a cool aspect. Once I started hanging with these tournament guys though I went to PS3 and haven't looked back. I will say though that for games like Darksiders I'd have to go back as it just doesn't feel right playing that shit with a PS3 pad. Also from my understanding xbox live is going to have a twitch.TV app on it soon so I'm probably gonna shell out the 50 bucks to get my live account going again.
 
I grew up quite in love with Playstation and Nintendo products, and made sure to get all three consoles last generation (PS2, Gamecube and Xbox). When it came time for the next round of consoles I got the 360 first because it was cheaper and it came out first, and by the time the PS3's price dropped to somewhere that I wanted it I was quite satisfied with my 360 and didn't get the PS3, despite my love of Sony.

I'd agree that the 360 has better online while the PS3 has better single player experiences. The PS3 also has superior Indie games in its store. They are so similar I would just get one based on how many people you know use a certain console, that way you can play together if the notion ever strikes you.
 
On a side note, if you use a thumbstick for any game that could in any way require precision (that doesn't compensate for your own input error, cough cough looking at you FPS genre), you are jerking off the devil.

Friends don't let friends use thumbsticks.
 
In terms of controllers on the plus side you can purchase controllers that have an Xbox 360 layout for ergonomic comfort; I remember a 3rd party manufacturer made a PS3 layout for the Xbox 360 and Microsoft basically sued that company. Sony seems to be generous enough to let 3rd party control manufacturers get away with the Xbox 360 layout.
