I was in a similar position to Noan in that I was deciding which console to get, but for me in the end the decision is easy, I am going to buy the PS3 for the simple fact of it will suit me personally better than the Xbox360 will.
The exclusive games on Xbox360 so far I personally don't think are that good to be honest, and I would generally much rather play MGS4 Guns of Patriots or a new Final Fantasy game for example, over say Halo 3 or Gears of War.
The console not only looks MUCH nicer than the X360 but also screams reliability and quality build by comparison.
X360 had one already and it RROD'd on me, AFAIK its still going on around the world, reliability is a massive problem for X360.
Personally I wouldn't describe myself as an online player (as opposed to thommo, we have two totally distinct gaming preferences
) so the Xbox Live holds no sway for me personally.
And at the end of the day if I am going to spend money on a games console I want to at least know that it's been well made, looks good, and that it doesn't have any unresolved major reliability epidemics, Playstation 3 fits the bill perfectly for me.
There are reasons why the PS3 costs twice as much as an Xbox360 and they are all linked.
@ thommo, if you decide to flog urs, again, gimme a shout.

. you know as well as me i think there pants even tho ive got one, bring the cash and its yours, glorified dust collector it is.
you,ve played my ps3 more than i have that shows how much im into them.
and i still say i wont listen to views from people who have not owned both consoles as they can not justify there comments, they base them on the console they own. you need to live with both to give a good honest review of which is best " for you" and not which is best full stop. there different items so you cant really compare but 360 is still head and shoudlers for me, and ive never had the red rings in the whole time ive owned one.
360 90%
ps3 10% (and thats been generous).
also the blue ray comment from someone, yeah it plays them but at a cost, i can download any film in hd format and chuck it in my 360's normal drive and watch hd for free. oh yeah .wmv format and its as good as any blueray ive watched on the ps3 so argument is docked one point on that, blueray doesnt give you something the 360 cant
