If you only play sports games, I would say you would be fine with either, though the first generation of basketball/ football games on the 360 aren't that great (seems they were rushed out). So if you waited a till the next round of them, mabee the 360 will have either had a price drop, or people will know what sports exclusives go to what console if any.

I'm a die-hard PS2 guy also, but the thought of waiting till November for the PS3, if it even comes out then, is too long. The new MotoGP 06 came out for the 360, so I just went to Best Buy and bought one. I'm anxious to see if the graphics are that much better than the PS2. I'll keep you posted.

Unless there is something that you know will be exclusive for the PS3 that you really want to play, just get the 360. The graphics will be about the same and the online experience will probably be better on the 360

you ain't gonna be countin' polygons so just pick one that has or will have the games you think you'll enjoy the most.

Well, i hear that motogp isn't the exact game to check out the graphics on. I played the e3 demo released on xbox live, and my friend who bought it said they hadn't improved the looks of the graphics or the slowdown that it experiences in hd... I was kinda let down.

^ Mind you, my post is strictly off of what I saw for the tennis game...

But, it brings a new meaning to sports games, methinks...

Normally I would piss on a Wii but thinking about it the simplistic games kind of throw back to my gaming hay day of Sonic the Hedgehog and Golden Axe. I might end up copping one.
