If you have an XBOX would you prefer the PS3?

I own both.
I got an Xbox 360 Elite about a year ago.... All my friends were on Xbox, so it was an easy choice for me. It's what you'd expect, its an Xbox. Problem is I am so damn lazy that I didn't want to deal with buying Xbox live and all that crap, so I just ended up playing with the guys and using it as a DVD player. Anyways that got real old real fast, and I wanted live.... paid for it, headset, cables and everything. I wasn't real happy about how much I spent on the whole thing because the box was so much to begin with... nor was I happy about this wire stretching across my living room because the 50 bucks for wireless ain't gonna happen.
So anyways I got a new roommate, and this one was a big PS fan. He starts telling me about all the pro's that the PS3 has over the Xbox. Your PS3 won't die on you like an Xbox, it comes with a blue ray player, there are more games, and apparently the games that are coming for PS3 are better.
SO he let me borrow his PS3 for a couple weeks.
I bought one 3 weeks later, and honest to god haven't played Xbox since. The user interface is so much easier, LIVE is FREE and WIRELESS. Literally just plug and play as long as you have a wireless network at your house. The system is constantly changing with system updates, all of which is done nearly by itself because of the wireless connection to PS Network. And I got burnt out on Halo which is the only decent game that Xbox makes and PS3 doesn't. I understand why people like Xbox's, I used to be one of them. But after playing both and seeing how easy it is to use and enjoy the PS3, I don't bother with my Xbox.
Ps. Don't believe the crap about free PS network online play being any less than Xbox live. If you have trouble with the online play, 99 times out of 100 its your own network that is the problem.
