    Review from an Owner of both Consoles, should help you out on this decision:

    Your answers:

    - Both Consoles have wifi. The internet browsing is better on PS3.

    - PS3 has better graphics when it comes to exclusives like Uncharted, killzone etc. While the Xbox has better graphics in 3rd party titles.

    - Yes the Xbox can play DVD movies.

    - PC looks fine. But you would need a lot of investment on it plus some games may lag.

    Local multiplayer or splitscreen, is only offered in certain games. The game's box will have details about what multiplayer options it supports.

    Both systems have a wireless adapter to access your local internet connection. However only the PS3 has a web browser. It sucks. Seriously, don't bother.

    The 360 has Bing and supposedly will be getting a full browser later this year, but again, don't bother. I guarantee the browser on your smartphone, tablet, or 10 year old laptop is far faster and far more efficient - and won't tie up your TV.

    Neither the 360 nor the PS3's browser is as full featured as the one on your PC. Many video-based websites will not work because they require a newer version of Flash that hasn't been released for the consoles yet, or some other plugin that probably never will get released for the consoles. Again, if you want a web browser stick to your phone or buy an old laptop.

    Both systems can play DVDs.

    Both systems have nearly identical graphics. The PS3 handles draw-distance a little better, while the 360 handles textures a little better. However if you did a side-by-side test with the same game on identical HDTVs you wouldn't be able to tell which was the PS3 and which was the 360.

    Again, if you're buying a GAMING console the main focus should be on the GAMES. Especially the exclusives that are only available for one console or the other.

    Source(s): As for the PC, it's OK, I guess. Depends what you want to do with it. Should be able to handle just about any current game, although maybe not on the highest settings.

    I have a PS3 and I couldn't be happier. It, in my view, has the best graphics and is completely free (unlike xBox). Also, no-one uses joysticks any more, its all about the controllers, mate =). Anyways, the PS3 has a great internet browsing service, while the xBox simply doesn't. Also, I don't think that xBox can play DVDs (not sure though, google it). And I'm sorry, but I can't tell you much about the PC part of this question... The i5 Core is definitely good, though; perhaps try and get the i7?
