So, with the upcoming release of MW3 and BF3, where will be the better gaming??? I have Black Ops for the Xbox, but could never get into it, and to be honest I'm not a huge fan of the frenetic action of the multiplayer...I have BF2 for the PS3, and I like it alot, but I can't help but think the multiplayer would be better on the more established XBL?
At the moment, I have pre-ordered MW3 for the PS3 (all my mates are PS3) and BF3 for the 360- what do you think, right or wrong? Anybody else who has both got this problem?

+1 what your friends have.

There also alot of PH"ers that play call of duty on the PS3 and who are a great laugh.

I've played Black Ops on both PSN and XBlive and found differing experiences. On Xbox I generally found the other people easier to play against, on TDM I was consistently getting a KD of 1.5 or greater, which is a rarity for me on PSN. Now this was at a friend's house (I don't own an xbox), so maybe the connection had something to do with it?

On PSN the skill of other players just seemed to be higher to me, which can be frustrating at times, but also poses more of a challenge.

I've also been contemplating whether to get MW3 on PS3 or Xbox since I have mates who play on Xbox, but I also play a lot now with the guys on here on the PS3. Tough decision since the guys here play a lot more objective based games and we normally work pretty well as a team and have a good old laugh in the process. That said my mates play mainlt TDM and sometimes it's nice to switch off and just spray bullets!

Maybe I'll just get both hehe

On the subject of controllers, I actually prefer the sticks on the Xbox controller (the concave top is better for grip), but prefer the PS3 controller using the shoulder buttons rather than the triggers for aiming and firing.

It's this.

Plenty of PHers who will play MW3 and BF3 as well.

If you don't have a Blu Ray player though, a PS3 is a good choice IMHO.
