Overall it really boils down to what your mainly using it for.
I have a 360, it is my 3rd one. So yeah I've had 2 break on me. Now at my work we don't get many PS3 returns and 90% of them aren't because it's broken so in the department of a longer lasting system the PS3 wins.
Movies, well the 360 has a HD player you gota buy separate but it comes with a 5 HD movie offer and King Kong on top of that so you get 6 movies right off the bat. A movie being about 30 bucks a pop that's a free 200 bucks right there and the player is about that much*150 on sale sometimes* so it evens out.
Now as far as the movie selection goes Blu-ray has way more titles, it includes Sony movies as well. Now HD-DVD has it's exclusive titles as well so really just do your research. If I were you and got the game system I'd just buy the player I didn't get. In reality it's cheaper to buy a PS3 for Blu-ray disks then the player*Cause it plays games as well* and better to buy a player for HD-DVD because the whole rig with a 360 cost about 600 bucks, but the 360 also plays games so if you weigh it out it's worth it.
Now, the important part, the games. As of right now 360 has way more titles, and since it's been out longer it has some good games priced at around 30 bucks. Now if your like me and don't have much money this is great. You can get some good games for half the price of a new one. I also found the 360's selection to be better then the PS3's. 360 has all the games the PS3 has that I'd want. But we are all different and I'd look into it more. Off the top of my head the main games PS3 has exclusive that everyone raves about are Lair and Fall Of Man. To counter that the 360 has it's Halo 3 and Gears Of War, but really the games I enjoyed alot were Lost Planet, Dead Rising, and Fight Night 3.
I also find the controller comfort to be important. I'm going to be dead honest with you here, whoever made the PS3 controller needs to be shot. Why you ask? Well for one it's a PS2 controller that's wireless and has this useless motion control feature that doesn't work well. The 360 controller is comfort at it's best. My hands have never felt better playing a game. I used to get bad cramps playing games up until I got that sucker in my hands. Now I get headaches before hand aches, the way it should be.
So that's about all the insight I can give you on the subject I hope this helps you out! And enjoy which ever one you get, be sure to let us know.
