The PS3 has better system exclusives (yes, halo is over rated, and has been since halo 1 just deal with it). Also, there is a smaller percentage of a Yellow Light of Death is significantly lower then a Red Ring of Death (something like 3% for a TYoD to a 12% for a RRoD).
Finally, they're just highwer quality machine. you just lose backwards compatibility. But thats a rather small tradeoff. Also, free Online after a one time fee. I dont care what the 360 has or any of that, I'm paying less in the long run. So the PS3 is the better choice, at least in my opinion (but then again, I'm biased. I own a PS3 and have been a sony kid since the PS1).
