The online gaming is free for the PS3 and Xbox Live is £40 per year in UK/ $50 per year in America, so over 5 years that's £200/$250 saved compared to Xbox live. If you like online play there's Resistance, Motorstorm and Warhawk. And Unreal Tournament 3, Haze and Metal Gear Online are coming out. Also the Playstation Network has Little Big Planet and Home coming to it. The Playstation Store has some great things on it like classic Playstation games, as well as Wipeout HD, Calling All Cars and Everyday Shooter.
Blu-ray discs mean that more can be stored on PS3 games allowing them to be bigger. An Xbox DVD holds about 8GB but a single layer Blu-ray disc holds 25GB and a dual layer holds 50GB yet a 360 game costs the same as a PS3 game. Grand Theft Auto 4 may have to be put on multiple discs for the 360 because they're smaller and you might not like having to get up to change the disc. One level on Killzone 2 takes up 2GB which shows the scale of PS3 games. The PS3 is a very cheap Blu-ray player while you have to buy a £120/$200 add-on to play HD-DVD movies.
The PS3 has been out a year less than the 360 and it's graphics are already equalling or bettering those on the 360. As the developers become better at developing games for the PS3 the gap will only widen. As far as games go most of the better games for the Xbox are either multi-platform or going to come out for the PC at some point like Gears of War and Halo 1 & 2 already have.
The 360 is backwards compatible with about 300 Xbox games but if you get a backwards compatible PS3 then there are thousands of PS1 and PS2 games you can play.
Here's a list of what I think are or will be the best games for the PS3:
Well right now there's Resistance, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Ratchet and Clank, Virtua Fighter 5, Heavenly Sword, Stranglehold, Assassin's Creed, Virtua Tennis 3, Folklore, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, Guitar Hero 3, Singstar and Call of Duty 4.
Uncharted, Killzone 2, Haze, MGS4, Final Fantasy XIII, Gran Turismo 5, Afrika, Little Big Planet, Tekken 6 and God of War 3 will be coming out as PS3 exclusives. Also the maker of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus is making his next game exclusively on PS3. The makers of Fahrenheit are also making their next game a PS3 exclusive.
As well as this there are ones that are multi-platform like Devil May Cry 4, Kane and Lynch: Dead Men, Lost Planet, Resident Evil 5, The Orange Box, Soul Calibur 4 and Rock Band. Also a new Jak and Daxter and Bioshock are rumoured to be coming out on the PS3. So in my opinion the PS3 has a much stronger and more varied lineup then the 360.
The Xbox is cheaper (but I don't think it is in the long run) and Xbox live is probably better (but I don't think the difference is worth the cost). The original Xbox only had a lifespan of 4 years and with the 360's problems it may only last another 2-3. The PS2 had a lifespan of 6 years and the PS3 is planned to last 7-10 years. All PS3 controllers are rechargeable, you just connect them to the USB port to charge, but you have to buy a rechargeable battery pack if you don't want to use AA batteries for the 360 pad.
The PS3 has much better hardware than the Xbox which has massive 30% failure rate. The PS3's failure rate is 0.02%. 360's are known to scratch discs if they're moved while on, this would be practically impossible to happen on the PS3 anyway because blu-ray discs are hard-coated.
The PS3 is the most value for money as all models have a hard drive and Wi-fi built in but for the 360 you have to pay more in some way or another for these features. Also to play DVDs you have to buy a DVD remote for the 360 but you can just use the sixaxis if you want to play DVDs on the PS3. Only the PS3's games are all region free so you can import games from other countries before they come out or get an obscure Japanese game if you want. Also the PS3 plays full 1080p hi-definition wheras the Xbox just upscales the image.
You should get the console that has the games that you want but I think the PS3 is better because of it's games, features and reliability.

Okay look...I have a PS3 it is really good but don't buy it. It is gay and slow. The PS3's games suck. The X-Box 360 has way better graphics that don't work on a specific television like the PS3. The only problem with the X-Box 360 is that it suffers from the Red Ring Of Fire. But that only happens to 30% to all X-Box 360s so don't worry.

The PS3 performs finished 1080p hi-definition wheras the Xbox in simple terms upscales the image. the internet gaming is unfastened for the PS3 so over 5 years it fairly is £2 hundred/$270 saved whilst in comparison with Xbox stay. in case you like on-line play there is Warhawk and Unreal journey 3 is popping out. additionally the psnetwork has Little vast Planet and residing house coming to it. Blu-ray discs recommend that greater would nicely be saved on PS3 video games permitting them to be larger. An Xbox DVD holds approximately 8GB yet a single layer Blu-ray disc holds 25GB and a twin layer holds 50GB yet a 360 pastime expenditures comparable to a PS3 pastime. The PS3 is an exceedingly inexpensive Blu-ray participant on a similar time as you will desire to purchase a £one hundred twenty/$2 hundred upload-directly to play HD-DVD video clips. The PS3 has been out a three hundred and sixty 5 days decrease than the 360 and it fairly is photographs are already equalling or improving those on the 360. through fact the builders exchange into greater helpful at bobbing up video games for the PS3 the hollow will basically widen. so a tactics as video games pass a number of of the greater helpful video games for the Xbox are the two multi-platform or going to come lower back out for the pc quicker or later like Gears of conflict and Halo a million & 2 have already got. The PS3 has Uncharted, Killzone 2, Haze, MGS4, very final fantasy XIII, Ratchet and Clank, and God of conflict 3. ultimately the PS3 has plenty greater helpful hardware than the Xbox which has vast 30% failure value. The Xbox's strengths are that it fairly is greater on your funds (yet i do no longer think of it is interior the long-term) and Xbox stay is in all likelihood greater helpful (yet you will desire to pay). while you're in particular an casual gamer or non-gamer and prefer having non-gamer acquaintances around the Wii is the stunning selection for you. The Wii has some good video games like Zelda Twilight Princess yet a number of of others are in simple terms mini-pastime compilations. i think of you're very own selection for the video games on each gadget would desire to be what you base your determination on yet i might decide for a PS3.

you are better off getting a ps3 because...
- ps3 has a built-in blu-ray player
-ps3 supports 1.3 HDMI which has rich colors and xbox supports 1.2 HDMI
- 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)
- because of the blu-ray's huge space, ps3 will have WAY better graphics than 360
- online is free for ps3 not like 360
- ps3 will have over 300 games released by this spring
- you can browse the internet on ps3, no such thing for xbox 360
- 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
- developers stated that they will start using ps3 as the lead platform and port ps3 games to xbox
- 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: .2% hardware failure(see the decimal? less than 1%!)
- ps3 has better back-comp except the 40gb
- 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
Now I want you to do me a favor, list all the reasons why xbox is better than ps3. I PROMISE you that nobody will get at least 5 reasons
Prices as of today:
ps3- 80gb: $499 with motorstorm
40gb: $399 with spiderman 3 blu-ray
xbox 360(premium)- $349
(elite)- $449
if you want the accessories that ps3 comes with, that would add up to over 700 dollars, so that means ps3 is actually cheaper

I have a PS3. You can go on the internet on your computer, not worth it. Bluray discs aren't that great, a little better for DVD watching. If you like online play, the playstation network sucks. Barely anyone is online, I compare the people online on the xbox to the ps3... 7:1. I've been frustrated with my PS3, and have been jealous of the xbox features ever since it came out. I can't play with my friends at all :/
More games, more players. Get an xbox if you are a real gamer. And 50 a year for Live? 13 cents a day. Don't let any fanboy turn you off from a subscription fee.
I want to sell my PS3, bad investment. Good luck!
Ps.. I'd rather play next gen games than games from an older console... :/
SO MANY THUMBS DOWN!!! ATTACK ME SONY FANBOY!!!

ps3 is the bigger buck for your value. I would type all the extras it has, but the guys above me pretty much settled it. Also the 360 has released its great exclusives already, there is not many more mind blowing exclusive that they can release compared to the ps3.

PS3. It allows you to play the PS1 & PS2 games also without having to upgrade it. Playstation has always believed in allowing you to play the older games as well which is a benefit that XBox does not give you.
