I have both a 360 and a PS3. The ONLY thing I use my PS3 for is watching blu rays. Tons of people will disagree with me but my personal preference ALWAYS is the 360 for playing games. I do however like the good old PS controller 
Oh dear, prepare for 2 or 3 pages of waffle now about how **** the PS pad is...
You clearly prefer the 360 pad, so just get a 360. Simples

Get which ever console your mates play on most if you are going to be playing onilne.
If they have both then sounds like you prefer xbox controller so I would go with that.
Depends if you want a media player(iplayer) and blueray player or not.
Both have up and down points. I prefer PS3 but thats just me.

It's a fair point I got rid of my 360 ages ago as the PS3 is a al-round better system but for FPS the 360 pad is way ahead.

If you want to play with a wheel and dont want spend 250+ on a decent one then the PS3 wheel support is far better than the MS 360 one. Maybe something of use (please dont mention GT5 or FM3 
), if its not something youre looking at getting than its your choice depending on other games, cost etc
As for FPS ive got a feeling that the move will start being supported in many big FPS games in the future, looking at how well ive heard it works it may well be a better option than any stick controller.

It will take some adjusting, you will need to let your mangled hand heal before you can use th PS3 controller. Booooom.

ps3 and a G25 wheel is the way to go for F1 2010.

I'm with Streeteh. Pick the platform your friends game on most.
Both platforms have strengths and weaknesses.

Personally I prefer the PS3. The graphics are marginally better, supposedly - but that's not an issue for me. The main reasons I use the PS3 over the 360 are the variety of games (Xbox 360 has been, for me, a long line of FPS games and not much else) and the incredibly user-friendly styling it has. I can't stand the Xbox 360 dashboard, it's really ugly. If a game is on both consoles, I'll buy it for the PS3. Oh, another thing I buy games for the PS3 is online gaming. Because it's free, unlike on the 360.
I have both consoles though as there will always be fantastic games no matter which way you go (I consider both Uncharted and Mass Effect series as unmissable). But if you really, really like FPS games then the Xbox 360 is possibly the better opti on overall.

Gah really tough decision, I remember I used to play the F1 games on my ps2 and enjoyed them thoroughly without a steering wheel so I don't think I'd need one.
Most of my mates play the 360 but I doubt I'd get xbox live. I used to play games hardcore and soon realised it took up way too much of my time.
I can get a XBOX 360S for £170 from tesco which might be worth me looking in to!
I already have a blu-ray player too! Seem the 360 is the wiser option.

Personally I actually think the ps3 pad is superior for fps, simply because its not as stiff as the 360 and has less deadzone. However I have moved to 360 for mw2 (only fps I play on consoles) because I can get into games quicker online and find them much more stable on live then psn.

If you have a gaming PC then it's better to have a PS3 because of the extra games you would be able to play. The only Xbox 360 games I would be interested in getting are Alan Wake and maybe Forza 3. Everything else is on the PC. On the PS3 there are loads of really good games that I can't play on the PC
+1
Oh and any usb pc pad works on the ps3 btw big choice to choose from.
The ps3's best games are leaps and bounds better than anything on any format including pc.
Demons souls
uncharted 2
heavy rain
god of war 3
V chronicles
infamous
to name but a few and 2011 will be even better including a new twisted metal game not to mention GRAN TURSIMO 5 in november this year.
to me it's a no brainer i think the people that say i only use my ps3 as a blu ray player is just a case of all their friends have xbox's so they do their multiplayer on xbox or just like listening to sqeaky little voiced american nerdy kids acting hard on the net.
The ideal world is own all systems though I have to add that i think i am alone in hating the 360 pad i think the D pad is horrendous on it.

Yet StarCraft II is better than all of those.
Joking aside that's a pretty silly statement to say, I own a PS3 and the only games from that list that interested me are Uncharted 2 and Heavy Rain, not really worth keeping my PS3 for since it has collected dust since playing them games.
