Ah a true fanboi. And I own a XBOX 360 by the way. At least I can be objective and honest.

games? Um pretty much most games come out on both system for every exclusive XBOX has PS3 has one too. Which exclusives are better is a matter of OPINION

Online? is XBL better? not really. I don't see what the big deal is about it. Have YOU been on PSN to actually compare? Or do you just go by what you hear form other XBOX fanbois. Even if XBL was better it's not by much and if you think about over a 6 year period you're likely to own a 360 that's $300 for online. Is XBL $300 better than PSN? And that answer is certianly no. For $300 you could get another XBOX or PS3. Let's not forget that's $300 IF you ned only one account. If you're a family and you need 3 or 4 XBL accounts that's $900-$1200 extra. Sorry when I play Madden online it's not any better on XBL than PSN and it's hardly worth a extra $50 I am forced to pay to play Madden online.

overall system, xbox is better? Ok let's break down "overall"

XBOX 360 120 GB HDD, plays DVDs( does not upscale them though ), wi-fi extra, rechargeable batteries for controllers extra. LOUD and bulky and heavy as shit, power supply almost as large as the system. Online play $50 a year

PS3, 120 GB HDD( can be switched out with ANY laptop HDD something the 360 won't allow )blu-ray player( for those that hate blu-ray, plays DVDs an upscales them ) built in wi-fi, controllers charge via USB port, smaller, quieter, lighter. Online FREE. Also game saves and movies and TV shows purchased from PSN can be saved to external storage device. The 360 doesn't allow this. So when you're 360 HDD gets full you're forced to choose which movies/tv shows you want to delete. Yes you can re-download later for free, but that's kind of a pain in the ass. Of course MS doesn't sell a larger HDD than 120 GB. Even if they did they'd charge 2-3 times what it would actually cost. As I said you can't swap out a HDD as you can with a PS3. And let's face it for the same $150 MS charges for it's 120 GB HDD one can get at least a 320-500 GB laptop HDD

Now I'm not saying the 360 is crap. We have one in the house and it's a fine system( and I do prefer the 360 controllers ), but if you are being HONEST and compare what you get for your $300 the PS3 is better. And remember if all you have is $300 you can't play anything online anyways on the 360.
