PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360??

This is still a question in my mind.. But all i can say is PS3 is really worth for the money i lost.. I took it at Sony World for Rs. 25,000/- for which i got Rs. 3,000/- worth Grand Theft Auto 4 Blu-ray disc.



Whats there in PS3 which is not there in Xbox 360:

1) No HDMI support.

2) No Blu-ray player.

3) Can't install an operating system. This itself is a dealbreaker.. ;)
