PC master Race. Why not a laptop or something? Don't be held back.
IMO? I'd wait for next year. Chances of the next gen coming out in 2013 are high. Xbox 720 baby!

Chances high? Yeah highly doubtful. Microsoft said the 360 will have at least a 10 year lifespan, and 5 days over the 7 year mark. And Sony said they will be focusing on the PS3 until at least 2015. So before 2016 is a long shot for both Sony and Microsoft for new consoles.

It depends. If you're into Single Players, PS3 is the way to go. Now on the other hand, Xbox has a superior online.

It's a tiny charge for a great service that is on and useable 24/7 with patches that are downloaded instantly. For PS3 users, there is a ton of choirs that people have to go through to complete simple tasks. If you invest in a Kinnect, you can shout at your xbox 360. Can it be even easier then that?

My advice is to look at what kind of games you'd like. Neither system is better than the other; anyone who says otherwise is probably just a deluded fanboy. The only real difference between them is one has a mandatory charge for online use and the other doesn't. It just comes down to what exclusives you're looking at really.

I'd recommend PS3 just for the fact that I had a terrible experience with 4 brand new 360's and Microsoft's service was terrible when I tried getting ahold of them

They're essentially the same system in terms of games these days with a few exclusives either way. Get whichever controller you prefer.

Yeah, both systems are good. I have both, and I use my 360 a LOT more, and I prefer it in general, but both systems have positive aspects to it.

PS3 is free for online, but I think XBOX is a lot better with features and the fact that the servers don't crash every other afternoon.

Really depends on what you use it for.
I prefer PS3 and would use that more but all my friends have Xbox so I use that more so I can play with them online and get a pointless but half decent gamerscore. The only bad side of Xbox as people have said is the cost of online which isnt a massive bother to me as I pay for it when I know I will use it and when it runs out I play offline modes more.
Also look at console specific games, Xbox for example has Halo and PS3 has Uncharted(?)
Dont forget PS3 has Bluray if you dont already have a Bluray player.
If its just for casual use then I would just go for the cheaper option as there really isnt a whole lot of difference if your not looking for specific things.

So before 2016 is a long shot for both Sony and Microsoft for new consoles. A console having a 10 year life span doesn't mean that they'll wait ten years to release it's successor. It just means that the console will still get games made for it even after it's successor has replaced it. The PS2 is a perfect example of this. Games were still coming out for it long after the PS3 had been released. As for OP's question I'de personally recommend a 360. Online is better overall with PSN lacking features like party chat. Multiplats usually look better or run better on 360 (such as Skyrim) because the PS3 usually gets bad ports unless it's an exclusive game in which then it'll be optimized for PS3 and take advantage of Blu Ray. You could go with PS3 if you need a Blu Ray player but as a gaming machine it falls short IMO.

Xbox hands down.
Also, new xbox is going to be shown, hopefully, at the next E3.

I think you're wrong, considering multiple websites have been reporting that the next XBox system will be revealed next year, and many sites stating a 2013 release window. It's highly likely that we'll have the next XBox system by the holiday season next year.

We're not going to have to wait until 2016 for new Sony/Microsoft consoles...

The next gen of consoles will be out by 2014 at the latest. Rumors are floating around that the next xbox will be out by holiday season next year. Both the ps4 and xbox 720 have already released dev kits to all the major developers.
