right now the 360 is better becuase it has a lot more games and the games that are on both ps3 and 360 seem to run a lot better on the 360. The online is pretty nice for the 360. But the ps3 does have blu-ray player which IMO is overrated. its not as big as a jump from dvd to blu-ray as it was vhs to dvd. But next year there will be some big games coming out for both systems. for ps3 next year they will get gran turismo 5, metal gear solid 4, killzone 2 and probably another couple of games that arent talked about yet. while the 360 next year will get ninja gaiden 2, maybe gears of war 2, halo wars, banjo-kazooie, alan wake and probably anohter couple. but if your lookin for playing games between now and then it might be the 360 but who knows whats really coming out in 2008.
