Here we go again.
PS3 has better potential but there is no noticeable difference (unless you're smoking something) in graphics because the game developers haven't tapped the full potential yet. It has Blu-Ray capabilities, and online is free. There are a few console-exclusive titles that people enjoy. The price is astronomically higher than xbox (just under 150%).
Xbox360 has a MUCH better online protocol, but you get what you pay for. The controller is built much more ergonomically and analogs are slightly stiffer so it provides better accuracy, which is why most people prefer a 360 controller for first person shooters. Just for gits and shiggles...for the price of a 80GB, PS3, you can buy the 60GB xbox and a decent Blu ray player. It also has a barebones system to appeal to the people who don't care for downloadable content (Just grab a memory card and play). This is HALF THE COST of a base ps3. Xbox360 also has a few console-exclusive titles.
This comes down to personal preferrence. Below is what each has that the other doesn't, so console exclusive titles aren't included
PS3:
Pros: Blu-Ray, better potential for games down the line
Cons: Price, mediocre online capability (PSN), no "cheap" edition
Xbox360
Pros: Much better online play, much cheaper, barebones system for non DLC players
Cons: Can't improve much on the graphics, no Blu-ray, pay for online interaction
