1. I'm a big online gamer.... and for me... the XBL is a great online system that I've been using since 2003. The 360 really improved it and made it even easier to make a friend's list full of the kind of people you like to play with... who like the same types of games as you. I only have a few hours to game 4-5 nights a week. I'd rather spend that time with people I've played with forever.... than looking for new friends in a new community. I do have a few friends from XBL who have PS3's now.... and several are doing a good job of making me want to play Socom.

2. The PS3 controller bugs me. I HATE the triggers.... and I'm a shooter girl so for me that's a big deal. Most PS3 shooters use the top trigger for the fire button... and for me that just feels unnatural. Also the pressure sensitive triggers on the 360 just feel better to me. The PS3 does have a much better d-pad.. but in most of the games I play the d-pad is only used for item selection anyway. Ben heck did an AWESOME mod where he put the guts of a PS3 controller into a 360 controller... and if I could get something like that... I think my PS3 would see more game time.

3. I have never been able to get my PS3 to keep a stable internet connection. I REALLY think it has a bad networking card... although I've tried ethernet and wireless. I've tried two different routers, entered my network settings manually, assigned it a static IP, put it in the DMZ zone of my router, opened the proper ports... and still I get a DNS error that randomly boots me off PSN... and a near constant DLNA error when I try to stream media from my home network.
