Depends on your prefered genre of game.
Are you an Fps fan. If so then the Xbox has a wide selection of those games at a cheaper price then there PS3 counterpart.
Are you into a puzzle games and Platformers? Then the Wii may be for you. It ain't my thing but to each there own.
Most of the games on the Xbox are able to be bought on the PS3 and such, but I can't really tell you what special games they have out there becuase I have never played a game on the PS3 and another poster can proably explain it better.

If you don't mind a possibly-higher budget and tinkering with computers, you can upgrade a desktop into a gaming PC for about $200-$300. This is the much better system for FPS's and RTS's. Also allows for lots of modding, etc.
Xbox 360 is sort of the "mainstream hardcore" platform. It's got Halo 3, Gears of War 1 and 2, as well as Xbox Live. You need to pay Microsoft to host or join any game servers.
PS3, like the PC, has free multiplayer. It has many of the same games, and some exclusives like MGS4. You can install Linux on it. It lets you play BLU-RAY movies as well.
The Wii is for a more casual player, and works well if you have other people in the household that want to join in without becoming an expert at sniping and grenade jumping. Be aware the vast majority of Wii games are shitty knockoffs, all trying to imitate a very solid bunch of games put out by Nintendo, many of which earn scores in the 90s.
That's sort of a brief primer for you.

Well, do you want LittleBig Planet, Resistance, Killzone 2, InFamous, and free internet?
Or Halo, Sector 8, Gears of War, Lost Planet, a bunch of arcade games and paid internet?
*Sorry I'm not including the wii*
I have both the 360 and the PS3... Both are about equally good... So if you're feeling cheap, go for the 360.

I've tried all three systems, and I've always loved the 360. Theres no contest. But, it all depends on what kind of gamer you are.
I suggest ps3.
there I said it,but keep in mind I said it from about as neutral a standpoint as I can get.
I have an xbox360,a ps3,a wii,a dsi and even still have the gamecube working,though not plugged in.

If you want to play online choose 360.
If you want to play on your own and have a HD TV get a Ps3.
If you want to play more with your friends and family more choose a Wii.
There my suggestions anyway and is what I stick to as I have all three and thats what I use each for.
