XBL is easier to navigate than PSN, well before their new stupid update, i prefer the old XBL layout
more things are free on XBL, but you have to pay the yearly fee
downloads can continue after shutting down the system
recently added netflicks to XBL
play and charger kit still charges with system shut down
controller is better suited to FPS
cooling fans are loud
must have wired connection to internet or buy wireless adaptor
must buy an Elite for hdmi connections (i believe)
achievements
PS3-
smaller selection of games and most are multiplatform
personally i think it has better graphics, but that comes down to connections, tv, preference
Blu-ray
free PSN, but downloads seem to cost more
system must be on to download and charge controller
most games install onto the hard drive, its annoying at first, but cuts down on in-game loading
built-in Wi-Fi, or wired connection
hard drive is the same as a laptop hard drive, easy to upgrade space
main menu is too cluttered for my taste
i prefer the PS controller feel to the 360's
in the end, i think the ps3 is the better system, but xbox has more games and an easier to use interface

You forgot the red ring of death problem that over 40% of X-Box 360's will eventually face due to a known flaw in the systems before launch that is still not even 75% fixed after all these years. My best friend has gone thru 6 360's that all overheated and got the RRR and he had each very well ventilated as he is an AV enthusiast. He has had 2 Elite systems get the RRR so I guess the problem is getting better
. Both our PS3's we got at launch are still working today and I believe the failure rate is very low (in the 5% range) for PS3's throughout its life cycle.
I agree that X-box live is way way better than the PS3's current free system (you get what you pay for). However the Ps3's keeps improving and the graphic quality and speed of loading in games is quicker. I recommend the Ps3 as you will have less headaches and it has the added benefit of being an excellent Blu-ray player which I use on a daily basis since launch and is still ticking..
