Xbox 360 is the True Home of Call of Duty and Modern Warfare!

Modern Warfare 3 is about to be released by Activision. This very popular Call of Duty game is being released for multiple hardware platforms, but many people have asked “Which version of Modern Warfare 3 should I buy?” The answer really is simple: Xbox 360

Xbox 360 has the best version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 for several reasons while I will now outline:

* DLC: Activision and Microsoft have a contract signed where all downloadable content (DLC) is launched exclusively for the Xbox 360. In other words, whenever new maps, new expansions, or any other content is released for a Call of Duty or Modern Warfare game, it is going to be released first for Xbox 360.

* Online Gaming: There is no doubt that the best online service available today is Xbox Live. Experts agree that Xbox Live a premium service is one full generation ahead of any other online gaming service. There are literally millions more gamers playing on Xbox Live than there are the PSN. This is particularly true in English-speaking parts of the world. You will never need to be worried about having fellow gamers to play with at all times of the day if you own an Xbox 360.

* Online Communication: Microsoft made the decision to pack Xbox 360 units with microphone headsets for free when the Xbox 360 console was released. Sony made the decision not to pack any form of headset in with the Playstation 3 console when it was released. Ultimately, this ended up being a big difference in gaming. The simple fact is that millions of gamers now have the ability to talk online while playing with their Xbox 360, but only a much smaller percentage of PS3 owners can talk online while playing.

* Strategy and Teamwork: When you have an entire team of gamers playing a game like Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty, Gears of War 3, or Halo: Reach, it helps when everyone can talk online while playing. This is a very common scenario on Xbox 360 when playing over Xbox Live. But with the PS3 and the PSN this is not the case, since such a smaller number of PS3 console owners play with an online microphone. When you play with an online microphone, you have the ability to talk with your teammates and listen to each other; you can work together as a team! This element of strategy adds an amazing amount of depth to the game.

Do the PS3 and PC versions of Modern Warfare 3 allow the "potential" for features such as online chat and teamwork? Yes. But it is the Xbox 360 that truly takes full advantage of this feature in an environment where you can expect to work with gamers whenever you randomly start up a game with new people. The same can be said about online DLC. Yes, the PS3 and PC will eventually get those expansions, but if you are a true hardcore gamer, you will want to play the DLC on the console that receives it "first." And obviously you want to play on the hardware platform with the largest number of online gamers -- the Xbox 360.

Winner: Xbox 360

By the way, there is a cool new Xbox 360 console design with Modern Warfare 3 as the theme for the console and controllers. The size of the hard drive is extra large, too. If you are a fan of Call of Duty and Modern Warfare, you know that is the version you will want to get in the same way that Star Wars fans are influenced in similar ways!
