Which would you say is more worth it? By this, I mean the system itself and in conjunction with its games.

The PS3 or the X-Box 360?

A nearby store has them going for $499 and $399, give or take $100.

Or should I just go buy some more Wiipoints and get myself some classics and wait for the prices to go down or for more games to come out?

An xbox 360 if you like first person shooters or role-playing games. The ps3 if you just wanna get your hands on it now, and use it as a paperweight while waiting for good ps3 games.

If Shooters aren't your genre at all, don't get a 360... it makes up the majority of it's games. If you like shooters, especially first person, you'll love the 360 with every fiber of your being.

I believe that it is a good idea to buy a PS3 and wait. It is likely to, in the near future, have the best genre variety out of the three.

First off, inb4twytchandgunsofthepatriots
Second, pretty much what rawrsky here said, minus the paperweight comment.

This. If you especially love RPG, a PS3 is a must.
For example, expect some good Final Fantasy games. Its a very unique RPG game with a unique engine.
Also, if you love Graphics, I prefer the PS3 personally but the 360 has good graphics as well.

I'd suggest the PS3. And no, not just for MGS4. It's bound to have some excellent titles besides MGS4 in the future, so it would be a great idea to get one now.

I'd suggest getting a PS3, but that's only 'cuz I love FF.

I'm sure there's gonna be other good games for it, but I only pay attention to what I want to pay attention to.

PS3. It will have the most extensive library of exclusive games in all sorts of genres. Most 360-exclusive games are shooters (and even they come to PC eventually). Also, the PS3's online is really well-done, and is just as effective as the 360's, only free.

E3 is coming up soon, and each has claimed to have some really big "announcements". I would wait until then and have a better feel for the future. Right now, I would say go with a PS3, unless you have a bunch of friends who have Xbox already.
