Never buy a console your much better investing money in upgrading your pc, and if you understand the xbox360 and ps3 specs youll see that the only difference between the breadbin (ps3) and ps2 copy (xbox 360) is one gas 4 more USB ports. The graphics may look good but even though the console hasnt been realesed yet its already out of date im only going to give 2 examples as i could go on and on here. 1st. The RAM is only 512mb on the xbox and that SHARED! with the grapics card256mb for each. 2nd. The online modes only support 32players which is well pathetic, PCs ahve been supporting 64 for around 10 years now. And please dont get conffused when it says it has i think 4 cores its NOT 3.2Ghz x4. I wont go into how the CPu works on it as i dont think many of you are interested.

if you dont have the knowlege to build your own PC by all means buy the consoles  .
heres what you can do with 900quid by the way, when its a self build.

Quick Spec:
3.4Ghz P4 HT
1.5GB DDR2 RAM
7.1 surround sound
Water cooled
Dual 17'' montors
ATI X700
TV tuner with recording and pause functions
Remote turn on and off
and no im not showing off mearly showing what can be done, like i said if you dont have the knowlege or confidence to build one the XBOX360 is your best bet over the PS3.
The specs are trickey to understand (probably designed that way).

Nice pc, and by the way I do know how to build PC's it's very easy. Anyways, the xbox 360 has three separate core processors that clock in at 3.2GHz each. The xbox 360 has 3 usb 2.0 ports not 4. Next, your ati x700 has 400Mhz, (unless you got the ones that come oc'd to 425,) but the graphics processor for the 360 has 500Mhz, also the x700 6 or 8 pipelines, (depending on the 128mb or 256mb version,) compared to the 360, it has 48 parallel floating-point shader pipelines. Another awsome thing about the xbox 360 is that it has the ability to stream media from portable music devices, digital cameras, and Windows XP-based Pcs; in addition it supports DVD-Video, DVD-ROM, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD-DA, CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, WMA CD, MP3 CD, JPEG Photo CD. And about the 32 people online, that is awsome for a console, the orginal xbox online let a max of 16 players online in a single round of almost any game. 32 people! Thats great, to me 16 people was enough for the xbox, but now 32....! I understand that computer games can go up to 64 players online but your incorrect, they actually can go up to 128 players in some games like Joint Operations.  Lastly, even if the xbox has only 512mb of shared GDDR3 ram, it has the processor and gpu to bring it up. Overall, the xbox 360 is one hell of a console and it can play amazing games, with better graphics and AI. Espically, since it has a six thread per clock cycle system cpu, which allows it to run applications independently on different cores or a single multithreaded application to peform multiple tasks all at once. Oh yeah, "The specs are trickey to understand (probably designed that way)." the specs are not all that hard to understand, it just takes time and background information to understand them.  Here is more info on the xbox 360: http://features.teamxbox.com/xbox/1145/The-Xbox-360-Dissected/p1/ It will help you and everyone else understand more on how it works and the components it has in it.
What water cooling system are you using? I like how it glows under UV light.
