Accessories are where things shine... The XBox will have Project Natal released this winter, it's a motion sensitive bar which will allow you to literally be a part of games; it'll be a revolution in gaming. The PS3 will have some gay little wand that makes you look like harry potter and won't be able to compete with XBox's Natal.
Shoulda coulda woulda, Is nice but all the manufactures promise but it seems never deliver. So back to my statement. Buy what you are impressed with. At the time.

I'm liking the xbox due to initial purchase price, but I don't like the fact you have to pay a yearly fee for the online thing.
do they both use HDMI connections for HD TVs?

They both use HDMI, at least on the higher end versions. The older 360s did not. The yearly fee is $50 for the 360.
I agree with Giz in that I just prefer the size of the controller. I am a fairly tall guy and have big hands and the PS3 controller feels too small in my hands and will eventually cause strain. But that is a personal issue.
There are a lot of games that are on both systems, but there are some exclusives. Here is a list of the games on both systems that shows what is exclusive to the system.
I have friends that love one and despise the other. However I don't know anyone that owns one and loves the one they didn't purchase. They are both good systems and you'll have a great time with whichever system you decide to go with.

soo.. I went in to buy the new xbox slim 250, walked out with a PS3 160. why? no one has an xbox in stock, and dollar for dollar, the ps3 just seemed a better deal in the long run.
first 3 games I bought... Borderlands, Fallout 3 GOTY, and F.E.A.R. 2. already pre-ordered Fallout New Vegas :-)
