PS3 is better for me, it's more of an all-in-one solution right out of the box (blu ray, etc.) and while it cost me more, I also have been stung in the past by the RROD and have trouble trusting in xbox now.. So keeping in mind that I would have to buy a second console, it actually was cheaper. I think the exclusives on the ps3 are much better. It also seems that there is a much broader lineup when it comes to genre (almost too many fps/racing on xbox)
