I have 1 x 250GB slim 360, 1 x 60GB 360, 1 x 120GB PS3 & 1 x 320GB PS3. PS3 has by far the better media side of things with blu ray, vidzone, IPlayer etc etc etc. However gaming side of things isnt the greatest. A few excellent exclusives (Uncharted for example) a few semi good (Killzone etc) and the rest are a bit pap and the majority of games look better on 360 (thats a fact based on numerous tests by various companies and not just opinion). Also the controller is guff and the install and update times are, quite frankly, a joke! Ability to use 3rd party hardware is excellent also. Have always had a lot of crashing issues with every PS3 I've had (I've sent 2 back prevously) and I believe this to be the norm
360 nowhere near as good on media, though I think they are trying to address this but dvd alone limits it. Gaming wise the exclusives are generally brilliant, far easier to just pick up and play and multi-platform generally look better. Controller IMHO is far superior in every way, its comfy, better weight and feels more responsive though the external battery is a bit rubbish though I can see the positives in that admittedly. Poor you have to buy official only, I'd like the choice personally as sometimes 3rd party stuff is better. Only crashing issues I've experienced have been relatively rare and tend to relate to certian games pre-updates. Also ability to play numerous older games on all of the consoles was a pro to buying originally - not so much now mind
I'm playing PS3 more than ever lately due to joining a clan based mostly around PS3 but I'm championing the 360 on the forum and the number of dual console owners is now growing, so to me the 360 is the best of the 2
