PROs and CONs

360:

Pros: Excellent online community, by far the best current library of games on the next gen catering to most gamers, high definition gaming, new GPU revisions mean new models are a lot less likely to get the dreaded red ring, Gears of War 2.

Cons: No in-built WiFi, Live service fee, still a chance of red ring, HD-DVD is now redundant so you can only play DVDs, Microsoft product

PS3:

Pros: Blu-Ray compatability, overall powerful multimedia system, some of the best looking games I have ever seen (falls under HD gaming), free online service, great list of upcoming titles awaiting release, Metal Gear Solid 4.

Cons: Abysmal library of games even for this stage of it's lifetime, it's bloody huge, online community isn't as broad as Xbox Live's, long loading times on games that usually don't on the 360, pre-loading on some games may take up to 20 minutes.

Now decide for yourself. Which one suits you more.

Online:

PS3: Free to use, PSN Store.

360: Xbox Live requires a membership (Costs Money), Xbox Live Arcade.


PS3: Blu-Ray

360: DVD


PSP Has connectivity to the PS3.

Piracy:

360- Modchip is available

PS3- No Modchip is available currently


Games:

PS3: Play games from any region

360: Region-Locked


Operating System:

PS3- Install OS (Linux) once you take PS3 Out of the box

360- Install OS (Linux) after you hack the 360.


PS3 is more expensive then the 360 though.


My opinion: I recommend a PS3 but let your choice be the one which makes the console decision! Good Luck and what type of games do you like?

Not all 360 games are region-locked, euro. Take Gears of War for example.

I Think PS3 Is Better
Let's compare PS3 and XBOX 360:

1). A third of XBOX 360 (33%) are malfunctioning right from the start. PS3 return rate is only around 0.2%. Despite some people say, that new 360 has no breakdown issues - just visit Xbox section of Yahoo answers and see for yourself an amount of complaints.
2). PS3 has 8 (7+1) kernels in Cell processor, Xbox 360 -only 3.
3). 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 layer DVD-9 (8.5GB). It's possible to get HD-DVD (max. - 30GB) for 360, but it'll cost you around 180$, in this case Xbox is going to be MUCH more expensive, than PS3.
4). Calculations per sec - PS3 - 51-billion-dot-product-operati... per second
Xbox 360 - 33.6-billion-dot-product-opera... per second
5). PS3 has full media support - USBs, built-in 4 slots card reader (except 20GB and 40GB versions), ability to use printer and so on.
Xbox 360 has USBs and only 2 memory slots.
6). PS3 supports up to 7 Bluetooth Controllers
Xbox 360 - up to 4 Controllers
7). PS3 - wi-fi included (except 20 gb version)
Xbox 360 - wi-fi will cost you around 100 $

8). Graphics are stronger in PS3, due to RSX chip, that was developed by Nvidia exclusively for PS3. RSX runs on 550 Mhz. It's difficult to compare their graphics chips, because 360 has a video chip with totally different structure and operating memory is divided differently in both consoles. However, PS3 exclusives look better than 360's exclusives.
9). PS3 uses technology from AGEIA company. It does to physics of the game same thing GPU (videocard processor) does to graphics. This thing is on sale for PC(special card). The price is around 350$. There is no such thing in 360.
10). Xbox 360 is widely known for so-called "red ring of death" problem - it gets overheated easily. My PS3 was running for more than 15 hours non-stop with no problems. Sometimes Xbox 360 becomes so overheated, that thermopaste on CPU melts, drips on motherboard and successfully shortcircuits it. That's why in some countries people call Xbox 360 "Coffin 360".
11). 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.
12). In 2008 PS3 will get more than 300 games, including Metal Gear Solid 4, The Agent and other great exclusives. Here is the good link to the future PS3 releases.

13). PS3 online is free, Xbox 360 - you have to pay.
14). There were reports, that 360 scratches discs. No reports on that in PS3.
15). The funniest thing, that right now there are no games for PS3, that show full potential of the console. Biggest games weigh only 25 GB (Xbox 360 will need more than 3 discs even for those).
16). On PS3 you can install other OS, such as Linux Yellow Dog, Ubuntu and others. Sony officially lets you do it. There is no such thing in 360.
17). PS3 HDD can be replaced easily with any 2.5" SATA 5400 RPM HDD (used in laptops). 250 GB will cost you around 170$. In 360 you have to buy exclusive HDD, where 20GB will cost you 100$.
18).Sony expects PS3 to stay on the market for, at least, 7-10 years. Also Sony reduces price now. There is a cheaper 40GB version of PS3.
19).Sony constantly upgrades PS3 software (free updates for OS) - you get new functions and improvements.
20). PS3 controller (sixaxis) has a motion control - you move controller - game responds. Wii has it, Xbox 360 - doesn't. PS3 is getting rumble controller (Dualshock 3) in 1st quarter 2008, Japan already has it. On www.ebay.com I saw those controllers on sale 50$ and up (unofficial import)
21).On PS3 you can help sick people by running Folding Home project. Wii and Xbox 360 didn't even think about it.

Well PS3, only cause it has more of a life span than 360, as it's newer, it's library of games will grow. It has blue ray, the future of home entertainment (It was a bit of risk at first, but it will pay off now that HDDVD is gone).

I think 360 has hit it's peak (I judge this by number of sales). But 360 has a killer library. Either way your can't fail.

Consider the pros and cons from above.

Edit: wow, your a good sales person 1800wii. "must buy PS3, must buy PS3".
