Get a 360 if you want to play good games right now. Get a PS3 if you want to play them in the future. And you like your consoles to not overheat and die.

You're mistaken, and the person you talked to at Sony was either mistaken or you misunderstood them. The Sixaxis controller, which is the only PS3 controller sold outside Japan right now, doesn't have rumble. A large number of titles have been updated to be rumble compatible, and many recent titles are compatible out of the case, but your controller will not be shaking until the Dual Shock 3 is released and you buy one.
Sixaxis doesn't have rumble, but the Dual Shock 3 does.
No software update can make a controller without rumble parts in it rumble.
You should also note whether or not you have interest in HD movies. Do you have an HDTV and an interest in Blu-Ray or HD-DVD? That makes a difference, as well.
Really, you should just tell us what kind of games you're interested in, or simply look up the exclusives coming to both consoles in the next couple years.
I bought a PS3 last week for the following reasons;
- Xbox360 seems more online-oriented than PS3 and online-gaming just isn't my thing.
- PS3 gets more games made by asian developers, since x360 isn't doing well in asia at all.
- I always have these images of the two consoles;
PS3: style, more artistic and story-based
X360: action, explosions and less story based.
Note: that's just the image in my head and therefor not nescesserily (sp?) true.
Just go with the console that most of your friends have, for more multiplayer action. There's plenty of time to buy both if you're that hard up.
Of course, this assumes that you actually have friends.

Except the PS3 uses tilt sensing while the Wii uses actual motion sensing.

I'm not really interesed in online playing, to tell you the truth. I'm interested in third person shooters, adventure/action games and fantasy/RPG games. I know that once I get one of these consoles the first game I am getting is Oblivion. I really want Final Fantasy XIII, so at the moment I'm leaning towards the PS3 as my choice.
The below sentence is true.
The above sentence is false.
It's a matter of opinion. For my money, I wouldn't buy a 360 for Dead Rising and/or Mass Effect alone (especially since I didn't think KOTOR was as amazing as some other people), and with Orange Box on my PC, I'd never touch Halo 3. In fact, I find the first two so slow and floaty as to be almost unplayable, so there's another reason for me not to care about the third. My point was really only that the PS3 has easily as many great exclusives as the 360. In fact, when it comes to being just plain fun, Uncharted tops anything I've played on the 360. If Portal hadn't been released this year it would be my game of the year.
cmon this is becoming a fanboy war.. its supposed to be helping a guy deciding..
just one more thing: about the death of xbox 360.. its true.. died twice with me.. but i got a new one in 10 days twice.. and the garantee(i dunno if i tranlated it right) to a new one is still 3 years.. because every time you get a new one.. the garuantee is reset(new xbox, new garuantee)
and FFXI is on 360.. so it does have one ..
to be honest.. i only bought a 360 because it came out 3 years ago.. my first console was a playstation(duuh FF7).. but i just couldnt wait.. and of course the ps3 really turned out expensive..
although with the current status of the dollar.. it would relatively cost me 400 bucks(for a playstation 3 80 gig muahhaha *evil*) .. euro rulezz
360 all the way. halo 3 and oblivion are too majorly supreme games

Firstly, let me state that it is pure logic to buy a 360 now as it is cheaper and has better games now in comparison for paying more for a PS3 with good games coming out in the future. Obviously, if you really wanted a PS3 you would just wait for a price drop and some decent games to be released, and if you're lucky it will come in a nice bundle pack.
Secondly, i have owned both consoles (down own either at the moment, but I am picking up a 360 again for christmas). I purchased the 360 when it first came out and play it strong for a year and a half. I then decided to sell it for a PS3 as there were no good games coming out for a few months. I then bought a PS3 and sold it two weeks later. I now regret that because if i had just held on to it for a few months longer i would have made more money due to the 40gb version not having backwards compatabily, therefore i higher demand for 60gb version (in my country, at least).
Thirdly, I would like to say I am a sony fan. I loved the PSX and the PS2. The PS3 just doesn't have what the previous consoles had. The 360 has it all. I have never played an online game before, the 360 was my first experience and it was great. I would finish a great game then spend countless hours playing it online against my mates.
Everything about the 360 is great, everything. I loved it and i regret selling it, i guess i just wanted to try something new. But alas, i will be back in the game soon.
The PS3 to me was a rushed console, that i got little enjoyment out of. I spent more time playing my 2 Blu rays that i owned - Rocky and 300.
