Logic failure there then?
I'm a Nintendo supporter so I recommend the Wii, Great for when you have guests over too!
The 360 is like a Microsoft PC, unreliable, breaks down often, and Microsoft often don't give a shit.
That and it can get viruses on-line, if on-line, Microsoft can browse your gaming records, shut down the console if playing illegal games.
Oh, and the Rings of Fire... That happens the day AFTER the warranty runs out.

LOL, I can understand M$ft haters, and the complete anti-fanboys, but wow that is amazing. I have yet to see or hear of a 360 getting a virus. For one, XBox Live is an EXTREMELY closed network, not to mention very closely monitored (and thus they know when you're playing illegal games). The only development anyone, aside from actual game development companies, goes through a separate Game Developers network (which costs $50 just to even be able to upload any games you develop), AND all dev uses dotNet (for this network) and
Msft Game Studio.....which they've taken great pains to reduce the probability of virus authoring through the hoodoo magic that Msft does. (I'll cite all of this drivel as I find the info....but for now I'm lazy)
Anyway, had my first 360 for a year and some with no problems. When it did die, it was probably partially my fault as I had it in a semi-confined entertainment center for a while. Yep, no airflow, no processor cooling. But regardless, Msft sent me my "casket", I sent it in, and 3 weeks later they sent me a
NEW Xbox, a nice letter saying that rather than fix my old one, here's a new one, and a free month of XBox live gold to make up for my downtime.
Now, on the Wii, I do not own one, and while there are several games that just sound awesome (the new Metroid for one), and the talk of actually getting to use the controllers as a light saber in a theoretical upcoming Star Wars game (I'm a little out of touch on the Wii release / upcoming schedule....Damn you Bioshock, Halo 3, and soon to be Mass Effect and Assassins Creed), everyone that I now that has one says they play it solid for 2 week to a couple months.......and then it sits idle.
BUT I will give it this, it's a great party console....but then again I've had just as much fun 4-playering Doom and TMNT on XBox Live Arcade when we have people over..........
And finally, just to sum up the entire post......
A COMIC.
Good Luck on your decision, my vote is for the XBox, but then again I'm a fanboy.
