For anyone leaning towards PS3 or not being able to make a decision. Go with the 360. I bought the PS3 on release date for more than retail price ($900 regretfully) and played it religiously ever since. I had resistance:fall of man, madden 07, and recently call of duty 3.
maybe because i have a standard def tv but likely not, resistance is not a good game compaired to gears of war, halo 2, and what halo 3 will bring to the table. there is so little to the game.
madden 07 dosnt get any better, the gameplay is so SLOW. i played the same game at my buddies house on 360 and its so much more smoother and like a true madden game. on the ps3 it's rediculous and ps3 network playing online is a nightmare.
going on to call of duty 3, wow activision sure must not like sony because they called out on a lot of features for the ps3 version. COOP dosnt even exist its 1 player throughout the whole game and even online, boo. they took out the voice talking function for online play which makes it more horrible considering cod3 is such a team game you need to communicate. and besides its so much fun talking **** online :laugh:
outside the games itself, 360 controllers look more next-gen and like an entertainment system compaired to the ps3, sony just cant grow out of the same controller. xbox live seems to just outdue the ps3 network also. i mean there is much more i just cant think about right now.
oh yeah, and obviously the price. i've already made arrangements to sell my ps3, games, accessories tommorow and purchase a premium 360, controller, and a couple games.
one question i have is I found a deal on craigslist (sort of like a local ebay) in my city thats selling everything i would buy through retail. should i be on the safer side by purchasing the 360 through retail since he's told me that it isn't a factory sealed box?
sorry for the long read but 360 is definitly the way to go and this is comming from someone who had a ps3.

Glad to hear. But wherever you buy your 360 make sure that warranty is still good. What games you getting?

cod3, want to finish where i left off in the ps3 version; gears of war, because its such a badass game me and my buddy have been playing coop at his house and i can play online; madden 07 and ncaa07 alot of my friends have 360 anyways and were big college football guys so i can finally play with them on late nights when were not playing under the same roof.
halo3 is a definite buy when it comes out, any other games you guys reccomend?
if i buy off of craigslist dude said it has a 4 month warranty on it, and hes selling a 360 prem pack, controller, gow, cod3, and madden07 for $500 so its a good deal i just dont want to buy a dud console and hate myself afterwards when i know i can be safe and buy a 2007-generation 360 that all the fixes have been made on.

Welcome! The 360 is a great system. Another game I would recommend based on your list is Rainbow Six:Vegas. Awesome game, great online.

Anyway, again welcome! :)
