I meant i had NO PS3 GAMES. Lol okay, so if it came down to ps3 or 360, which should i choose?
I read some "things" and it showed that PC is way cheaper in the "long" run than both of the systems. It is just that PC you have to pay a lot infront.
You have to ask yourself what games interest you the most and what features you want to use. Xbox Live offers a great service if you're willing to pay $50 a year and have a lot of friends with Xbox360s. On the PS3 I like how the system is quieter, supports Blu-ray, has built in Wi-fi, free online play, routine firmware updates with added features, good exclusive titles, HDD can be upgraded with any 2.5" laptop SATA drive, and things are only getting better. I own both systems, and have had both break on me; with my Elite I got the RRoD and my PS3's Blu-ray drive stopped reading discs. Both systems were repaired under warranty, but my 360 took almost an entire month longer to get back to me than my PS3 did. Now this isn't necessarily indicative of Sony and Microsoft's service all the time as results do vary, but it was something that I personally experienced.
Live definitely does offer some features that PSN does not currently offer, but I myself have gotten tired of paying for Gold so I can't use a lot of those features anyways. There are also quite a few full downloadable games on the PSN if you'd prefer that to a tangible version and no need for a disc, one being larger than 9GB which is larger than will fit on an Xbox360 dual layer DVD disc, and MUCH larger than Microsoft allows on Xbox Live. Both systems offer a video store which allows you to rent movies(PS3 also lets you purchase movies), buy shows, and the Xbox360 will soon be supporting netflix. The "New Xbox Experience" will be launching in November and should improve the currently dated interface, as well as add Mii-like "Avatars". Sony also has Home launching soon which should add a new online component to the PS3 but whether it'll revolutionize gaming, or flop is unknown.
If I could only own one, my personal choice would be the PS3, but the 360 would be a pretty good pick as well. Anyways, you should really think about what features and games you're interested in as well as what systems your friends have. You also should consider what kind display and sound system you will be using. The PS3 has more titles that support 1080p than the 360 does, and all PS3 games support 7.1 surround sound, where the 360 only supports 5.1 surround. Now if you're using a TV with a resolution lower than 1080p and don't have 7.1 surround obviously this is a useless advantage, but you should at least think about it.

PC gaming is in a pretty bad place right now, so unless you're an enthusiast you're probably better off with the PS3 or Xbox360.
Oh really?
Because we didn't get GoW2?
You can Keep GoW2, I will be over here happy and content with my Crysis, S.T.A.L.K.E.R, Farcry 2, Warhammer Online, Red Alert 3, Dawn of War 2, Fallout 3, Call of Duty, Left4Dead, Mirror's Edge, Silent Hill Homecoming, Dragon Age, Sims 3 or any of the host of PC Exclusive or Upgraded Graphic/Performance, or highly modable versions that we have.
Pfft... PC gaming has been "In bad shape" since
"Don't copy that floppy" Yet that has not seemed to stop the dazzling array of PC titles from flooding the shelves.
At the enthusiast level, gaming on the PC cannot be matched. However, if you look closely most of the titles worth playing on the PC this year and next year will be on either the PS3, 360, or both as well. I'm not saying we should all give up on PC gaming, as I still love playing games on my somewhat dated rig with an 8800GTX, but I have expanded my library to the Wii, PS3, and 360 as well.

Far Cry 2, Red Alert 3, Call of Duty, and Left for Dead are NOT PC exclusives, not sure about the others.
I would recommend getting the Xbox 360. The games are MUCH better, in most cases the graphics are better, the controller is way better, and it's much cheaper. It's hard to recommend a PC for the genres you listed. Sports, Action, and Adventure games are not that great on the PC. The main thing the PC is good for are strategy and FPS, but if you get a 360 then you get GoW2 and Halo 3, both are excellent shooters for the consoles. I don't think the PS3 has any good shooters available exclusively to itself.
The PS3 has Uncharted: Drakes Fortune which plays similar to Gears of War, has platforming elements as well as more advanced melee combat, better graphics/physics/animations, but is only single player. Metal Gear Solid 4 is basically stealth/shooter, Resistance 2 is coming out, and Killzone 2 as well. Halo 3 and Gears of War are great games though, and I'll definitely be picking up Gears 2 November 7th.
