XBOX 360 or PS2/3(?)

which is best?

PS3 is going to be ALOT more expensive and the games are going to be pricey as well, but it depends on how much you want to spend. The PS3 isn't out yet so not sure what it's going to be like but the Xbox 360 is a good console, the graphics are amazing.

You can play the both online can't you?

I might go and have a scoot round some 'electronics' site and see what I can find.. don't know where to start!
