360 Exclusives:
* Gears of War Series
* Halo Series
* Fable Series
* Forza Series
* (help me out 360 players, not trying to short this list...)
Alan Wake, Lost Odyssey (better than the FFs since it's by the FF creator)... and yeah, only real games I can see getting a 360 for.
PSN is going P2P soon with plus as mentioned at E3...
Incorrect as that service is "Playstation Plus". This is an optional program which not only lets you get into betas and demos early, but also gives you discounts towards PSN titles and even lets you have games to try out like Steam's free weekends. You have to pay to play online with friends on the 360, Wii and PS3 doesn't.
Xbox LIVE is $4/month...!!! so much... more people spend more than that just to play one game online...
That money could be going towards a new game or many downloadable games.
Every game I have bought for my 360 was $10-$20 cheaper than it was for the PS3 except MW2...
This is moot, both consoles release at $60. I can find Dead Space cheaper for my PS3 than I can for my 360, or even Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Wii has both beat. Depends all on the amount the store has and how old the game is. I've found great deals for all three consoles.
I have the 360 elite, 8 games, 3 controllers, Xbox LIVE, and everything I need for it all for around $430...when I priced out the same thing for the PS3 I was looking over $600...
You could do the same with PS3, just need to find good deals online. All the hardware is roughly the same price, as for the 8 games, they don't sound like brand-spankin' new releases. All about finding the right place with the right price.
This is why I went 360...I took DAYS pricing it out...and saved $170 at LEAST going 360...
I've gotten less games for my 360 but have spent more, mainly from Live time cards and sending in my 360 because it crashed on me or ate my new game disc (not when nephew knocked it over, it chewed up my RB2 disc T_T). 360 may be "cheaper", but you get what you pay for. Microsoft cut corners and ended up with a large hardware failure rate (over 50% in some reports from 2009). I've had two 360's RROD on me only days after I opened them (and I didn't keep them under blankets either). I never had to worry about my huge purchase crapping out on me, that's why I like playing the Wii and PS3. And they're both quiet. 
Plus, on a more opinionated note like most of my previous posts, I do not like many of the exclusives on the PS3 besides MGS4...
Never know until you try them. I found the Gears/Halo/Fable games to be rather generic when compared to PC gaming. You haven't gamed until you've tried Uncharted 2 and Valkyria Chronicles or Little Big Planet. With Microsoft focusing on Kinect for the time being, you won't be getting as many hardcore games you've had in the past. 360 has started off strong but PS3 has gained a lot of ground, both with getting new developers on board or with AAA titles in the last two years alone.
EDIT: Now, yes, stock without sales and without used games, the PS3 can and probably is cheaper, however, with used games and the fact 360 stuff seems to be on sale much more often than the PS3 stuff...and without the need of wifi, the 360 kills in price...
PS2 is cheaper than everything these days. 2002 ftw!
Also, I put all of my games on my HDD for faster loading and what not and with 8+ games on it I am no where near filling up my "small" 160GB HDD... Oh, and I have movies and music on there too...
I've played possibly over twenty to thirty PS3 games since last fall and installed all of them that could be installed (talking 1-8gbs each) and ripped several of my music CDs and bought PSN titles too. My HDD still has plenty of room for movies or more data, not worried about having to delete something like I was with my 20 (it was actually 12) XBOX 360 HDD.
Get a PS3, because anonymous people on the internet say so:
It doesn't chew up your discs
Unique titles that aren't just regurgitated shooters (Halo 7, yay!)
You don't have to mute nasty 12-year olds (mileage may vary)
The Move is like an HD Wii, and you KNOW it'll have support from hardcore games, a problem that the Wii had ('cept for like Resident Evil 4)
It won't RROD days or weeks after you buy it (PS3 failure rate is 1-2% from online reports)
Blu-Ray is very impressive for movies such as Avatar or Live Free or Die Hard, but you will want to buy either an HDTV or a good ole fashioned 23' HDMI cabpable Monitor (I use my HP 2238h for both PC gaming (DVI port) and switch it over to PS3 gaming on my desk (HDMI port), less hassle that way and it saved me 400 bucks on a new TV).
You know games will run compared to a PC (just sayin'
)
You are not forced to pay money to just play games with friends other than your internet bill
The system is quiet and doesn't make crunching noises every time it boots up a game
Has both a good library for M-rated games and family games (360 has more of the first, Wii has more of the second)
The PS3 has Kevin Butler commercials which are awesome
The controller is easier for fighting games compared to the 360. I ragequitted Street Fighter 4 so much due to that stupid wonky D-pad that isn't Up Down Left Right but NE NW SE SW. Hate that controller. >=|
Several games that were "360 exclusive" have eventually released on PS3 with better features like Star Ocean: The Last Hope, Eternal Sonata, and Castle Crashers (still coming).
Kevin Butler. ^_____________^
Get a PS3 and enjoy the heck out of it, the exclusives (and even third-party games like Dead Space) are what make the console so much fun. Being able to go online for free is not only a smart move for Sony, but also easier for us gamers. We shouldn't have to pay an extra cent to get the full features of our $60 games just so we can play with buddies.
Or get a Dreamcast, those graphics are insane. >.>
I am going to be saving for one or the other...my wii just isn't cutting it. I need something with some good solid games to it.
