Games are the same price, as far as exclusives these are becoming fewer and fewer. However I focus more on PS3 so I can say you got Metal Gear, God of War, Resistance and a lot of original PSN stuff. This may have changed but like has been stated earlier...
PS3 you get a recharging controller right out of the box.
Free Wireless
Free Internet Gameplay (Which I really haven't noticed any problem with)
The PSN has pretty much what the XBLA has but also has Playstation exclusives like PSone game.
Runs quieter
and is less susceptable to breakdowns.
It all comes down to preferences, I prefer the PS3, I've had both but my 360 just collected dust because I wasn't interested in anything they had out. Plus my buddy got me a bunch of free games from the PSN so yea...

it depends on what you can afford mogharr and whether you are looking for exclusive games or not. the ps3 is finally getting some of the same support that the 360 has received for years, but it took a while for that momentum to pick up. XBLA and the PSN each have their own library of unique games. at this point in time, you cant lose w/either one.

Exactly. I couldn't bring myself to get one until I saw support pick up for the console (the price cut didn't hurt either).

But also, I really like what Sony has planned for their future motion control endeavors over that which Microsoft has shown.

the old motion control sucked though. that sixaxis crap was annoying for most games. especially marvel ultimate alliance.

Oh for sure, that's why I said future motion controlled endeavors.

I don't know. I think motion controls is the wrong direction for gaming to go in and may turn out to just become a horrible fad like FMV was in the 90s. After many bad experiences with Wii's motion controls, I'm not sold at all on gimmicky, finnicky alternative control methods. Even in this video, it seems like a horribly inefficient, and unfun way to play video games.
