Both Kinect and Move seem to be dead in the water. Initial hype but no new games coming out. Just concentrate on the core consoles for now.

Get the PS3. It's an excellent gaming machine.

The next Xbox is going to release next year or in 2013 and the PS4 much later maybe 2013 or 2014

PS3 has region free disks so better get that. Don't know much about the Xbox actually. But have many friends with PS3s from US playing in India. Just a different adapter is needed for voltage I guess,

For Good Quality i Mean Best console Gaming Get The PS3 ..If You Aren't worry about Kinect motion Gaming and Only want Pure gaming ....Else for Show off Get The XBOX 360

Also PS3 Has Free Online PSN For Life Time but Xbox 360 Has Only 3 Months and Charges After That...

Bear in mind the Xbox from the US will NTSC based, and the games available here are PAL, so you will have issues with availability.

Even I Am Planing to get a new Console So For 2 Option I Made

1> PS3 320 GB with Move Bundle + Extra Move Controller + Navigation + PS3 Dual Shock Gamepad+ Free Thrustmaster Ferrari Wheel(LetsBuy) for RS-29086.
2>Xbox 360 Kinect Bundle 250 GB -RS 28199

So Which One Is A Bang For The Bucks ......

Also Which one Is Hackable many of My Friends Have PS3 but not with Move And Some Has Xbox 360 without.....
I Tested Both Core Consoles and Really Liked PS3 Gaming as It Was Much More HD

So Along W Kinect ith The Above Also Suggest A Speaker System or Home Theater With The Consoles For Around 10k

Same Happened To Me Long Time Ago and I Ended Up With PC ....

It Depend On You And The PC Graphics Would Always Be Better Than Any Console
