PS3 is supposed to be able to do more but also costs a lot more. So if you are going on what system is technologically better I'd have to say the PS3, but as for price and the ability to get one now, the 360 is tops. I guess the real way to find out is to wait till Nov. when the PS3 arrives and check them both out in the store. See which one you prefer. I think it's basically more of a prefrence type question. (which controller is more comfortable for you, what are you using it for? [games, music, movies...etc])

The PS3 has a better processor, albeit different, a significantly more powerful video chip (30% higher clock speed), and a larger hard drive. It will also allow you to play high definition movies on blu-ray discs when they finally start to hit main market. The online service that Sony is going to provide will be free for the general multiplayer matchmaking, etc. Sony has stated that the majority of titles will be retailing for $60 at launch, which isn't terribly surprising. Additionally, the ps3 is supposedly going to be running a version of linux that will allow you to run custom applications.
In all reality, $600 for the ps3 is cheap for what it does. I think internal blu-ray writers alone are supposed to retail for $700 at the start. The console itself will be able to do most of the things a regular pc can do, especially if the linux part is correct (you could write word processing aps, drivers, etc.) without any modifications to the hardware itself.
To be honest though, I'm more concerned with whether they get enough good games on the console. A console isn't crap without the right developers or a selection of games. One just has to look at the gamecube to realize that a console is only as good as its games (gamecube had the poorest sales of the three). While the ps3 has better hardware and more potential overall, the games are what will have me buying it, if I do, since I already have a computer that can do the rest of what that console can. It'd just be nice to have it all in one concise package. :-p

The Playstation 3, if all of it's facts are true it will be extremely slightly better. But, for $600 for the console and $89 a game, it is ridiculous. The differences between the 2 are slim to none so I am getting a XBOX 360.

The question is pretty irrelevant at this point, as the PS3 is not available yet. As for audio/visual quality, the PS3 should be at least as capable as the 360 at producing high-quality visuals and sound. It certainly should look no worse than the 360. (Personally, I would expect them to be more or less on par with each other, but we'll have to wait until we see some actual PS3 games in action.)
But the concept of "better" ultimately depends on what games you want to play, not on the technical superiority of one console over another.
*Edit* New games for the PS3 should cost about the same as games for 360 (between $50 and $60 US).

The 360 for sure but it also depends on your taste in games. If you love hardcore games with top class graphics go ahead if your willing to cough up 600 bucks for the system and the rumored $ 75 games go for it. If you love good grade graphics and a little cheaper go for the 360. Plus Halo 3 is coming this spring so I'd go for the 360.

Both of those systems have problems.
The Xbox 360 supports online and has great graphics, but it overheats after 1 hour of playing.
The Ps3 however, has alot of problems, the console is expensive ($600 USD), the controllers feature no rumble feature whatsoever, and the games are expensive. People say that it will be the next DreamCast, if you know what i mean!

u should ask that when the PS3 is out that way i can tell u accurately
but i do have to say that the 360 does have better games and with surround sound the shooters will sound so sweet compared to playing gay Final Fantasy(Final Fantasy what a waste of a game!!)
