    to the guy that said “360 has Xbox Live so you can download free demos and stuff. Plus u can play all kinds of xbox games on it. God Bless”

    that is incorect, i have a ps3, and it has the “online capability” you can litaraly go on scoutlife.org on it, you can download games and stuff, you can go on google , and hotmail.com…..but the xbox 360 cannot!! you can “play” online, but you cannot surfe and browse the web, as the almighty ps3 can do!!
