Not true, you can remove all updates by clearing the hard drive cache which is extremely simple, but it will prompt you to re-update every time you start the game.
I would personally recommend a PS3 for its exclusives if that is what you want since they have an amazing list, as well as a much longer one than xbox 360 which still has a few still upcoming unlike xbox atm. For online gaming I would recommend xbox live. Though you do have to pay a premium for xbox live, it is because it is indeed "premium". For media xbox has a better digital service imo, but playstation has an obviously better optical media option. I went with 360 this generation for my primary console and invested too much to switch to PS3, I do kind of wish I went with the PS3 instead. Over all I recommend PS3, but xbox wouldn't be bad either.
