I have both a PS3 and an XBox 360. Out of the two of them I much prefer the PS3. I don't even use the browser or blue ray but love the feel of the games. Indeed the 360 has a large list of games but that for me is not enough to call it the better purchase.
This might be a personal thing but I just think the overall game experience is better on the PS3. The PS3 is also a much quieter console as the 360 does tend to hum a bit. Luckily I have not yet suffered the RROD.
In the end it comes down to what you want. Each console tends to have it's exclusives (re Resistance for PS3 and Gears for 360) so it can be annoying if you have the one console but really want to play a game on the other. Unless you really want to have blue ray, or you don't have a pc to surf the net then I see little point in buying a PS3 if you already have a 360. But, if you just want one anyway then I definitely give the PS3 a thumbs up.
For online play, PS3 has a free service whereas you have to pay for Xbox Live. However Xbox is supposed to be the better of the two (but I've not done either so can't comment further).
Def.
