Many people ask the question on here, and some people start arguing over which is best.
The correct answer is you can't really go wrong with either. Both are great machines with very similar games and online play. And now at the same price aswell.
If most your friends have either console, it makes sense to go with that one so you can play them online.
PS3 comes with Blu-Ray of course aswell.
I wouldn't bother buying both, just decide on one. At least you aren't even considering a Wii, which loses it's appeal VERY quickly (for me anyway).
