Xbox 360 Or Playstation 3?

I’m a 15 year old boy who started frequently gaming about 4 months ago. As of now it’s just a lot of CS 1.6. I have owned a ps2 for about 3 years, though I never played on it often. Over these 4 months after playing a lot of God of War and Call of Duty, I want to upgrade to a console where I can play online with friends across the country and where graphics are actually good. Having experience with Sony’s controllers I know how they feel and are used to them. I have used the Xbox 360 and ps3 controllers, and I’ve found I prefer the Xbox controllers by far. The Sony controllers are smaller and can be squeaky. My forefingers touch each other when I hit the triggers sometimes! As for exclusive games, I would love to play Halo with my friends, all though I would miss out on games such as GoW and uncharted. I have heard the Xbox online servers are better than the psn, but they cost. I have found consoles on amazon which are roughly around the same price. Another problem is I have Xbox friends and ps3 friends. I already play CS with them so if I get an Xbox then I can still play CS with my ps3 friends and vice versa. I have used both consoles and the difference in graphics is minimal, not too much of a matter to me. I will be playing often, though I will have to skip playing on some weekdays. I would appreciate both general and personal opinions! Thanks!
