It depends. I have a 360. I think it's fantastic.
360:
Cheaper
Larger library of games
More family fun
Able to stream videos directly from your PC
Netflix
Xbox Live
DVD Player(Even though you really don't need it.)
PS3:
Blu Ray
Bluetooth
You can do whatever you want with it.
360:
Cheaper-ok thats one factual advantage of the x box
Larger library of games-anohter factual advantage although it depends if those are the sort of games you wanna play
More family fun-thats a matter of opinion , how is the 360 "more family fun please explain " if i wanted a console for fun sureley i woulf buy a wii or something as that is most family fun
Able to stream videos directly from your PC-PS3 can do this too
Netflix-huh???
Xbox Live-you have to pay for this psn is free although x box live is suposedly better
DVD Player(Even though you really don't need it.)-PS3 can play dvd and blu ray
PS3:
Blu Ray
Bluetooth
can wirelessly connect to your home network
You can do whatever you want with it.
you can run linux on a ps3
free online play network
there is the price disadvantage costing 2- 3 times what a x box costs
Honestly, I just see the PS3 as an overpriced blu ray player. There is a smaller library of games. Whoever was talking about the RROD, they have no idea what they're talking about. That problem has been fixed within months of it first releasing. Don't listen to Trivium Nate.
well thats funny because my friend had his x box for a year and a bit and it rrod'd on him and his x box scratched up a few of his games even though that problem has also been fixed now , in fact it took them until october 2008 to fit a new motherboard and cpu that generates less heat which is abit more than a few months of it first releasing which was november 2005
You have many as options to upgrade your 360 as you do your PS3. Why would you even want a browser on your console? Why would you spend the extra amount of cash for the PS3 and then buy the blu ray discs to play them? Unless you're using a t.v. 50" or larger, you won't even notice the difference in quality from 720p and 1080p.

why how many options do you have to upgrade your 360?
all you can do is add a usb hd dvd drive and hd dvd is obselete tech now anyway
with the ps3 you can change the size of the hdd , run linux , not many other thigns it dosent do out of the box you would want it to do
i dont know why you would want a browser on your console maybe people want to browse rom their armchair in their living rooms thats a personal preference thing
well the x box 360 cant play anything in 720p anyway , you will notice the difference in quality between
dvd 480i and 720p on pretty much any tv size going , and even more than to 1080p from 480i on bigger tv's
Stop spitting out random "facts" (aka your opinion) and confusing people. Unless you have hard evidence, keep it to yourself.
thats a bit hypocritical to say isnt it considereing a lot of what you put across there was opinion
such as

Oh yer and just to set the record straight here i own neither console
Most of the newer DVD players upscale.
upscaling can only do so much for quality and tbh it isnt the best idea around
Still, with 360 you can just stream all the hi-definition stuff you want for $8.99 a month. Sound likes a way better deal to me.
over the internet?
what about people who dont have strong internet connections or have limits on their bandwidth
plus once you have streamed something and watched it its gone whereas with blu ray you have a physical copy to keep for good and do whatever you like with
i agree the prices are a bit high right now but as prices come down it will represent the better option
