Wow. How did I forget about this hehe. There's this ongoing battle amongst my peers, and even the older generation, as to which console is better. Note that I'm not including the Wii in this little review of mine because I have not played it yet. Suffice to say, I highly doubt that I will because Nintendo has never appealed to me....

Xbox 360 is the seventh generation video game console, launched by Microsoft, as a successor to its first gaming console - the Xbox. The console features services like Xbox Live, which facilitates online gaming, and also gives the user an option of downloading games and game demos, as well as, TV shows and movies. Since, its launch in 2005, 39 million Xbox 360 consoles have been sold all over the world. At present, this console is available in two configurations - the 'Arcade' and the 'Elite'. Some of the most popular Xbox 360 games are Mass Effect 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Assassin's Creed II and Resident Evil 5.
Sony's PlayStation 3 (PS3)
PlayStation 3 is a seventh generation video game console, launched by Sony Computer Entertainment, as a successor to PlayStation 2. This console offers services like, online gaming, along with a high-definition optical disc format and Blu-ray Disc as storage medium. Since its launch in 2006, PS3 has undergone several changes, which have made gaming even more easier and interesting. Currently, two models of PS3 - the 120 GB Slim and the 250 GB Slim, are available. Some of the most popular PS3 games include Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Assassin's Creed, Prince Of Persia, Devil May Cry 4 etc.
What Carmy thinks?
Personally both are equally good consoles, but for me, the Xbox's online gaming experience is way better. Not to mention their interface is very user friendly. I immediately knew what I had to do, whereas with the PS3, I struggled LOL. The inverted menu's, all the different sub menu's urgh! What a waste.
There is also, the price comparison. Here in SA a normal 320gig PS3 is about R4999, and the Xbox is R3999. Also, the games of an Xbox are cheaper. Sony keeps on boasting about its Blu-Ray and graphics. I say, Even without Blu-Ray, the Xbox's graphics looks way better.
But alas, each unto his own right? I think the xbox is more for hardcore gamers. With titles such as Gears of War, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Mass Effect, Mirrors Edge, Assassins Creed, Guitar Hero (My fav btw) it makes multi-player so much better. Whereas PS constantly boats with games such as Tekken, GT5, God of War, Devil may Cry, all One player games. I think that's kinda boring. But, I can say this. I have played many Car games, but nothing plays like Grand Tourismo. It feels real and is definitely better than Need for Speed. The variety of Cars and Courses. Power Jizz I tell you!!
I said this to my brother the other day, the only reason I would buy a PS is to play GT5 and Little Big Planet! Reason being, those games are not on Xbox. LOL. I'm secretly hoping that LBP will sell on Xbox though, because that's the ultimate multi-player hehe.
In conclusion I think I can say, that overall the Xbox kicks major ass. Whether you're watching and downloading Movies, Music, Trailers, Themes or just want to play with your buddies in Australia or Europe, its the ultimate console. And makes a great Party tool. Everyone can join in!
