Fans of shooters should also flock to the Xbox 360, where “Gears of War” has emerged as the current flagship title and “Halo 3” will likely soar to the same level of popularity when it is released Sept. 25. Players will also enjoy the opportunity to firefight with friends or cross-country foes via Xbox Live, the most sophisticated of the consoles' online services by virtue of its skill ranking systems and sheer network size.
While the cheaper Xbox 360 ($300 for the Core System; $480 for the Elite System) may seem to make a better choice than the $600 PlayStation 3, there is a heightened risk in hanging your hat on the Microsoft console. Some consumer Web sites estimate the system's failure rate to reach as high as 30 percent, while Microsoft claims the figure to fall within the industry standard of 4 to 6 percent.Gamers forum
