Call of Duty 4 (Online)

Xbox Live is far superior to the PS Network.

The Xbox Live Arcade actually has some cool ass games to download, all have free trials.
You can download any demo from pretty much any game made for the system, as well as "rent" movies, download TV shows, music videos, and Xbox Originals (Classic XBOX1 games)

Also, interacting with your friends is very well executed.

Xbox360 DOES have a more powerful graphics card/processor than the PS3, BUT the PS3 has a lot more actual computing power that has hardly been used yet. Why hasn't it been used? Because it's apparently very challenging to use all of the PS3's power.

I've read that most of the PS3's games have been ports of 360 versions.

The current PS3 library sucks.

I was a Playstation fan. I loved Metal Gear, Gran turismo, etc. The Next Gen versions of those games WILL be amazing.

Blu-Ray is gonna win the war, but I didn't want an Xbox360 to play movies. And they could always make an ADD ON Blu-ray drive, similar to the HD DVD currently offered.

I don't like the lightness of the Six Axis controller, and lack of vibration disappoints my girlfriend.

The 360 controller is more egronomic, your thumbs rest perfectly of the controls and it fits your hands so well.

I wish you could play PS3 users on COD4!! But that will never happen.

In addition to how much Live kicks ass I also use my 360 as my media center. With the recent update it streams all my vids onto my big screen across my network. The last fall update added the divx playback.

Both systems are pretty equal when it comes to graphics but so far the edge goes to the 360. Just about every head to head review of a game goes to 360 by a slight margin though this could change once developers learn how to get the most out of the PS3. 360 does have a better GPU and system memory than the PS3.

PS3 will be nice once their exclusive games come out and BD movies win the format war. (hopefully another price drop than too!)

I rock the 360 over HDMI at 1080P on my Sammy 61" LED DLP. It fucking rocks!

Live and PSN downloading items aren't big selling points for me. The games I buy are on discs that I pop in and play online. I don't like to download stuff to my harddrive if I don't have to.

They won't do that, Microsoft has already stated it wouldn't. They would end up losing money on the deal because of the resources having to go into the add-on and then it will, in essense, make the 360 look obsolete compared to the PS3 since the PS3 has the Blu-Ray already built in and it would do it all for a cheaper price than the 360+add-on.

PS3 has had that just as long as the 360, I do the same exact thing with mine and my PC.
