Q: I really want to get a next-gen game system but don't know which to get. It seems like the 360 has more games and better online, but the has free online and plus, all of my friends have ps3, and if I get X-BOX I won't be able to play with them.
A: As of right now, most games are being developed multiplatform for PS3, 360 and PC, excluding games made by Sony (Ratchet and Clank, Resistance, Warhawk etc) and Microsoft (Halo 3, Gears of War) as well as a couple of other exceptions (MGS4, Bioshock). Basically unless you're really interested in Halo or games that came out for 360 before PS3 was released, then the fact that most games will be coming to both consoles and that your friends have a PS3 would make the PS3 a better purchase for you.
