The XBOX360 version of the bundle is more worth, to be honest. I mean, it gives more stuff...
Maybe Sony should've given a HOME beta or something with it...

  You don't get *that* much more in the 360 bundle.
  PS3 - Second controller
  360 - Remote control
  
  PS3 - 80gb HDD
  360 - 60gb HDD
  
  PS3 - Custom PS3
  360 - No faceplate; standard 360
  
  PS3 - Free online service
  360 - Free 48hr trial card for LIVE
  
  So really the only thing more you're getting in the 360 bundle is a tin case for the game, a headset mic and the OST. I'd rather have a customized console that not everyone would have, only 9,999 other people would have the same PS3 as I would. A second controller is awesome, especially since standalone they cost about $50+ after taxes.
  
  I kinda want a 360, if I was going to get one soon I would probably get something like the RE5 bundle, though. If I didn't have a PS3 and I had to pick between either bundle I would go for the PS3 just because of the controller and custom console. The 360 bundle would have been awesome if it was matte black w/ the Umbrella logo, that would be teh s3x.

The Tricell emblem looks pretty good on the PS3.

And oh god, what version to buy Resident Evil 5 for?.... With my luck, whats the bet i'll RRoD the day I buy the game and have to listen to you all enjoying yourselfs for weeks on end...

  Not really the new 360 (which I have) are really great and were designed differently to try and lower the RROD by a set number of percent.
  
  However I do not see a tricell logo on the 360. Well guess I might be right, the PS3 version will be the dominate one in japan.
  
  Microsoft can turn the game if the Umbrella logo was on there console.

    Haven't i heard that many times before... I mean every Xbox 360 owner loves the console and says it is built great up until the system dies on them. I was the same and the symptoms are always the same even to the point of turning the console on an off multiple times in the hope that the RRoD was just an illusion.

Personally, I think the Ryu Ga Gatoku 3 PS3 looks a hell of a lot better.

  I agree, I would rather have that one than the RE5 PS3 bundle.
