Hey, so my b-day recently passed and i have the option of getting either a xbox360 or a ps3. The problem is im not sure which one is better to get and could really use some help deciding.

So for the Xbox 360 i have:

Pros:
larger variety of games
Im a RPG fan and 360 has about twice as many as ps3
They only sell pirated games in my country

$100 cheaper than ps3

Cons:
RROD
There is a lot of dust in my country which can affect the ventilation
causing over heating
The warranty is void if i were to get it chipped

For the PS3:

Pros:
A very low chance of messing up if any at all
Warranty
Durability

Cons:
Games would be a lot more costly lol
Games are not always available here but theres ebay for that :P

The number one issue for me is durability and a good number of games to play. Not a huge fps person and 360 really seems to depend on them. But overall im not sure at all for which to get and would like some help

Thanks

EDIT: i dont mean to start a console war i just want to know what would be better for someone like me. I.E. getting the 360 without the HD just cause i wanna do pure gaming. But would that limit me from download content for say fallout 3? etc :P
