Sure Why not?
Get the 60gig, the ps3 accepts any harddrive. For example we have the 60 gig and we have all our music, videos etc...on a 160 gig external harddirive we download from the ps3 store and other internet websites right to that and for games we use the internal...
Features
Blueray hd movie player
Or you for regular dvds the ps3 upscales them to hd.
PS3 Games are on 50gig blueray discs (bigger games more space for hd graphics and sound files) 360, elite use 8gig dvd for games..
PS3 Input output options, usb, memory stick, sd memory cards, and accepts compact flash cards,
Networking ps3 - comes with wifi or ethernet, bluetooth,
Ps3 comes with rechargable bluetooth wireless controllers
PS3 Free online play
PS3 Interent browser- surf the anywhere on the internet-watch youtube videos on the big screen...
The ps 3 is a full HD entertainment center not just a gaming machine..
It has an RSx nvidia GPU --graphics are are insane and the developers haven't even tapped the ps3s full potential yet..
8 cell broadband processor (CPU) capable of the calculations of any system out there, so programmers can use hundreds and hundreds of AI charactors ,,, known of the other systems can do that....
The ps3 60gig is not a shabby system for the $499.....The 360 elite is $479 and odesn't do half of what the ps3 is capable of..

GET A PS3!!!
i'll list some of the reasons
- ps3 has a built-in blu-ray player
- ps3 has much more and better exclusives, most of them cant go to xbox 360 because it cant handle that many data(DVD- 8.5gb, blu-ray 50gb)
- online is free for ps3 not like 360
- ps3 will have over 300 games released by this spring
- when developers get used to the system, the graphics will be WAY better than 360. should take them a year to get used to it
- playstation home is coming out this spring, its a virtual community where you can hang out with friends and customize your own apartment which xbox doesnt have(FREE)
- ps3 is a true HD console. xbox 360 upscale games to 1080p and ps3 DISPLAY games up to 1080p
- built in Wi-Fi
- xbox 360: 33% hardware failure
ps3: 3% hardware failure
- rumble returns in spring 2008
- you can upgrade your harddrive without voiding warranties with any 2.5 HDD, which xbox cant because you have to buy a xbox HDD
(they actually have the step by step on how to upgrade it on playstation.com)
those are the ones that i know right off my mind but there are much more reason than this
Prices as of today:
ps3- 80gb: $599
60gb: $499
xbox 360(premium)- $399 (if you want the accessories that ps3 comes with, that would add up to over 700 dollars)

Almost a third of XBOX 360 are malfunctioning right from the start. PS3 return rate is only around 3%.
Let's compare them
PS3 has 7+1 kernels in Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 3x2
PS3 uses advanced tech called Blu-Ray, one disc can store up to 54 gb (in the future - up to 200 gb), Xbox 360 - regular dual DVD (9.5 gb).
Calculations per sec - PS3 - 51-billion-dot-product-operati... per second
Xbox 360 - 33.6-billion-dot-product-opera... per second
PS3 has full media support - USBs, built-in card reader (except 20 gb version), ability to use printer and so on.
Xbox 360 has USBs and only 2 memory slots.
PS3 supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers
Xbox 360 - up to 4 Controllers
PS3 - wi-fi included (except 20 gb version)
Xbox 360 - wi-fi will cost you around 100 $
PS3 has a chip from AGEIA company. It does to physics of the game same thing GPU (videocard processor) does to graphics. This card is on sale for PC. The price is around 350$.
Xbox 360 is widely known for so-called "red ring of doom" problem - it gets overheated easily. My PS3 was running for more than 8 hours non-stop with no problems. Sometimes Xbox 360 becomes so overheated, that thermopaste on CPU melts, drips on motherboard and successfully shortcircuits it.
Besides all of this, I've seen disassembled Xbox 360 - regular PC architecture - Billy Gates is an uninventive nerd (as usual).
When I saw disassembled PS3 - it was a surprise - smart architecture, good cooling (don't buy external PS3 coolers - they make everything worse - original system is good), etc.
In 2008 we'll get more than 300 games, including Metal Gear Solid 4 and other great exclusives. Here is the great link to the future PS3 releases. http://ps3.ign.com/index/release.html......
PS3 online world will be free, Xbox 360 - you have to pay.
In some countries people call Xbox 360 "Coffin 360".
The funniest thing, that right now there are no games for PS3, that show full potential of the console.
Sony expects PS3 to stay on the market for, at least, 7-10 years.
I didn't mention Wii, because it's so weak, no point to talk about it.

If you are able to get both a 360 and the PS3 then yes do it for sure. If you can only get 1, get the Xbox. The games are better and the online play is better.

Definately, if you have the money get the 60gb PS3
or you could do what Im going to do .....wait for the price to be dropped to 399 and get one at the end of the year at costco! I might have to wait till next year though because I want the Dual Shock 3. PS3 rules!!! and yes I can say that because I have one already.

@ TanzeemH:
Whoever told you that Sony won't fix it? That's the silliest thing I've ever heard. Of course they will fix it. It has warranty too, you know. And "vulnerable with troubles"? Where have you been getting informations like that. It seems that your sources are very very very unreliable. PS3&Wii have a mere failure rate of 3-5% compared to Xbox's 30-35%.
Anyway, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't buy a PS3. :-)

a ps3 is better at graphics and more expensive than an xbox. I would want a ps3 if offered but only because its new and it has bluetooth, but theirs a problem. If your ps3 breaks down, sony wont fix it. If your xbox breaks down, microsoft take it back and fix it for you. Apparently, ps3 has been vulnerable with troubles lately.
