The major reason I bought a PS3 was a couple of yrs ago during the PS2 and Xbox era I had both systems, when the next gen systems rolled out Microsoft left the Xbox high and dry, no support no games nada, PS2 continued with the games. I would hate for that to happen again. Plus as some people noted I enjoy the free play over paid play. Plus I like the layout of the PS since its basically been the same since the PS1
Just buy what your friends have, and be done with it. If you don't have any friends, then just get whatever one has games you like more. If you are more casual and dont play online as often, chances are you want a ps3. If you love online play and assuming your system has more exclusives over the past years, then chances are you want a 360.

Well, 360 has a 10x better online community that's a fact no one can contest.
Honestly, I like the Xbox 360 better. Althought i have never had a PS3 in my life I have played it and don't mind it. I was raised when my older brother got the original black xbox 360 for christmas. I played ALOT so I was a 360 fanboy from the start..
I've probably said it on page 2 of this thread, and many others are echoing it now, but yeah, get what your mates are playing on… you'll be able to play each other online, discuss like games, as well as swap games if you so choose…
they both have pros and cons, both have had hardware revisions, both have added gimmicky waggle peripherals… and PSN has implemented a pay structure for certain features of the online network (though online PLAY is still free)
only fanbois are going to fight hard to push their agenda and flame the alternatives…
Here are the exclusives for the 360 first for the year.
Gears of War 3, Forza 4, Codename: Kingdoms, XCOM, Codename D, Rise of Nightmares, Spelunky, Star Wars Kinect, Project Draco.
Then PS3 Exclusives. Resistance 3, inFamous 2, Littlebigplanet 2, Uncharted 3, Killzone 3, Motorstorm: Apocalypse, SOCOM: Special Forces, DC Universe Online, Final Fantasy XIV, Twisted Metal.
PS3 has a blu-ray player so if you wanted to get a blu-ray player you may wanna get the PS3, get a video game system and a blu-ray player both together.
360's online service is fantastic, I can't speak for PS3's but I've had them since day one and online has been great. I know Sony is considering doing the same kind of online option as MS having the certain online packages, like Gold, Silver etc.
There's probably some other exclusives that I forgot. I'm sure Halo is a MS exclusive for the year and I'm positive MLB The Show is a PS3 exclusive which is one of the top sports games.
