Yeah I know what you mean, they are both great in their own ways.
With the games that you listed in the OP, your friends all having Xboxes and the internet being out of the question then I would definitely go with the Xbox360.
Now you asked about the red ring of death earlier... This was a BIG problem for the earlier versions where they used poor quality solder on the mobo and inferior cooling compounds for the CPU, resulting in the separation of components when the Xbox started to over heat. The problems eventually became less frequent with later board revisions though and the latest model seems to be rather solid machines (OK they did take the LED out that displayed the Red Ring lol).
I would buy the new system too, as you will get the full store & manufactures warranty. Stay away from 2nd hand and return units!!! You can never be sure of their history.
*Disclaimer; I have known many people over the years that have gone through several Xboxes and I'm only speaking from their experiences and from those others who have reported this on the web. MY OWN Xbox is an original launch model (bought on the day of release in the UK) and has never faltered once, to the dismay of my friends. Lol

@AMD
With all the details you've given me, I'd recommend the PS3 320GB Slim Model.
Why?
Its just a good a the Xbox 360 but it has the potential to be better for you in the future (Bluetooth, BluRay, 3D movies, 3D games, PS Move, TV recorder, Internet browse, free PSN) and its priced the same.
However, I would only recommend the Xbox 360 only if you are underage/poor and can borrow the games from your friends. Or if you are rich and online gaming is important to you.
I would make sure both the PS3 / Xbox are in a ventilated area so they both over-heat and explode. Neither have problems like the Red Ring or Yellow Light because of better QC in manufacturing.

I am a gamer, I tried extreme games on PC and wanna try it on consoles, so I need strong games just like:
-Upcoming GTA V
-BattleField 3
-Call Of Duty
-Need For Speed Most Wanted 2012
-Max Payne 3
-Mass Effect 3
-Saints Row 3
-L.A Noire
Thanks!
Why not buy a new GPU for a desktop computer?
Remember to buy the cheapest model and just upgrade the HDD yourself.

So TMO users now openly advocate piracy?

Wow, I didn't see that one about him pirating games.
In that case, don't buy the Xbox 360 or PS3... you're just adding to the filth.
"Buy" yourself the OUYA for $149 and wait for Q2 2013.
