Here are the pros and cons for both
PS3 Pros- Up to 250GB HD, Free Online gaming via PSN, BLURAY PLAYER, Netflix Compatible up to 1080p graphics/7.1 surround sound, no red ring of death, easily upgradable HD.
PS3 Cons- Price tag (up to $350 250 GB HD), still a brick weight wise, since online is free some issues with gaming.
XBOX Pros- Up to 150 GB HD, much cheaper, lighter system, up to 1080i 5.1 surround sound, Netflix compatible, easily upgradable HD, a lot easier to mod and upgrade and XBOX live is far superior for online gaming, however it costs up to $60/year depending on package
XBOX Cons- RED RING OF DEATH (sure it's replaced for free but no gaming for 15-30 days while it's getting repaired SUCKS!) Only plays DVD's.
What it really boils down to is what you are going to do with the system; If you are a hard core online shooter gamer, XBOX would be the way to go. If your a medium to light online gamer go with the PS3, a lot less problems and it's got a Blu-ray. If you get the XBOX your going to spend an additional $100+ for a blu ray, why not take that additional $$$ and put it towards a PS3.
I own a PS3 and I play very few online games. I've had it for 3 and half years, keep it well ventilated and clean and I've never had any issues with it. I highly recommend it over the XBOX.
