Not as many games TBH. I was an avid PC gamer, but you can only play so much BF2 and CSS before being sick of it.
The PS3 and 360 are two machiens that are similar in a lot of ways, but differ in a lot of ways. THe PS3 on line is not nearly as good as Xbox Live, and i doubt it ever wil be as good, however it is free and the playstation stores download speedsa re brilliant compared to the 360.
THe games themselves have no slowdown at all on the PS3, compared to the 360 which does suffer from low framrates at times, COD3 is probably the worst ive came across as an example for slowdown.
The browser on *** PS3 is a very good idea, but unfortunately the console wont recognise my mouse, however, it will reconise something much better, my steering wheel. Switched on GT:HD and plugged my PC wheel in and off we go, no calibrating or anything, worked straight off, unliek the 360 which requires Micrososfts wireless wheel.
The sixaxis on *** PS3 is very good fun to use in arcadey games, but as a wheel on F1 its more annoying than advantagous and i prefer to just use the analogue sticks. The controllers themselves I find pretty nice to use, the PS3 beign the same as the last 2 consoles. However, i find the PS3 controller a bit uncomfortable after a long amout of time of useage, having to reach to use the analogue stick really makes my hand ache, whereas i can sit on thet xbox controller all day with no problems.
It depends on what you want from *** console really. If you want online FPS fun them get the 360, but if you just want a good console for racing games, then GT:HD and F1 are brilliant, but dont forge that theres Forza 2 coming on the 360 very soon.

I'd get something to keep you going like a Wii for now as they're super cheap and hold off on a PS3 for now and wait to see what the future holds.
Or if you already have a PC buy a couple of good games to tide you over for a few months. See what the future holds.

I bought an Xbox 360 yesterday out of a choice of all three consoles. The shop I went to had one Wii in stock and several PS3 consoles in but I decided to go for the Xbox because I thought the bundle was good, premium console with two good games. The Wii I would have had to buy a rubbish game with it that I didn't want and the PS3 I don't see the advantage of it over the 360. The fact that it is a Blu Ray player doesn't interest me in the slightest, the films I buy tend to be pretty obscure and are years away from being released on either HD formats.

Go with the one with the much better games (360). Then buy a ps3 when its much cheaper in a year or so!

Guitar Hero 2's taking up a lot of my time atm. Once I'm done with that, I still have unfinished business on GRAW, Saints Row, Top Spin 2, Dead Rising and PGR3.
Spent a couple of hours playing Panzer Dragoon Orta last night, which has just been added to the BC list. About to fire up Street Fighter Anniversary to have some sho-ryu-ken banter.

PS3, a 360 you will have to keep sending back everytime it dies.
