    360 Advantages:

    -Estimated 7,000 more live users over PSN

    -Achievement points can be used to get stuff such as games (Trophies havn't received a purpose, YET!)

    -Cost less (at first).

    -Free Mic

    -More free down loadable content

    360 Disadvantages:

    -Cost for online play

    -Lacks blue ray player

    -hard ware failure (red ring of death, disk scratches, and system over heatings)

    -Lower Graphics (nothing really to noticeable at the time)

    -No web Browser

    -100$ just to get wifi

    -You need to download patch to watch HD DvDs

    -The system is quite loud

    -Bad Tech support (I've heard some stories)

    -Non-Chargable controller (unless component bought)

    -Can't install games to HD

    -Can't listen to music in game (might have changed)

    -Will be replaced sooner by a more up-to-date xbox that stands with the ps3 complexity

    -Less console only games coming out in this year coming

    -Comes with free Mic. so you get all those damn annoying 5 y/o

    PS3 Advantages:

    -Free online

    -Better graphics (Once again slightly noticable)

    -Blue-Ray player

    -No system hardware problems known to date

    -Has a web browser ( can use Youtube, myspace, and etc.)

    -Free built in wifi

    -The PS3 is Silent!

    -Chargeable controller

    -Great tech support (better the microsofts)

    -Can install games to HD

    -can listen to music in game

    -Ps3 will last longer (due to it complex cell processor)

    -More games coming out in future for the console

    Ps3 Disadvantages:

    -The Cost

    -Less PSN users (appx. 7k less)

    -Complex system

    -Blue ray disks cost more

    -Dosnt come with a Mic. {you cant buy any old Blue tooth mic for $20 to use with it)

    PS3, 360 Neutral:

    The games are preference related

    PS3 Summary:

    As of right now PS3 is a quieter, more reliable system, that cost more at first, but is lacking some of the great 360 only games and online user community. But due to it reliability and complexity will last longer and save you money in the long haul.

    XBOX 360 Summary:

    The 360 is a great cheap system that has great games and a great online community. But due to its hardware problems, cost to play online, and just a cost to use wifi makes it victim to PS3's more expensive but cheaper all around system.

    Note:

    It all boils down to which games you want to play and what games your looking to get outta your system/ do with it. Now by reading all what i just wrote u might think that I'm a PS3 Fan Boy but truth is I'm not, Truth is that 360 is slowly but surely losing out to PS3. Sorry if i offended any of you hard core 360 fanboys but I'm just stating the truth.

    Note 2: I own both systems and Have online accounts and such on both systems.

    Ps3 and xbox 360 have the same graphics, ps3 has better exclusive games, xbox has better ways to interact with friends but you need to pay 50$ a year to play online. if you have a big hand the xbox controller will be better for you. ps3 controllers are for small hands. xbox has kinect. ps3 has psmove. Xbox live is filled with hackers, not much hackers in ps3.

    it is all merely opinion. 360's are genereally centred greater in direction of jsut the hardcore gamer with titles like gears of war. It would not placed lots of an emphasis on multimedia. The ps3, mutually as not the main wide-spread in terms of video games is able to somethings that the 360 isn't case in point the blu ray participant. all of it comes all the way down to what you would be utilising it for.
