The PS3 is far more useful since it has blu-ray. The games suck for both, if anything get a wii since that's unique in it's gameplay. Aside from the blu-ray, it also has netflix, as does the 360. Other than that, I don't see much reason to get either.
The ps3 was a waste of money imo, I decided to support my mom in getting a ps3, and even coerced her a little bit.
I played a couple of games on it and immediately saw that graphic wise, they were inferior. The controls were most obviously inferior, and I was expecting this, but it's still worth mentioning. The only game so far that I didn't mind the controls to was Wipeout HD.
Everyone supported consoles for more or less, plug and play. I figured that'd be a nice change from having to maybe download a patch, or apply an update, or update my video drivers. Little did I know that just about all of the games we decided to get would require a 30 minute - 1 hour update to play. The only decent thing it could do was watch blu rays, and netflix.
The only good thing about getting one of these consoles would be if you're a gamer that wants to play exclusives. That depends on your tastes in games, depending on which one to get. Look up the exclusives for both consoles, and see which one has the ones you want.
Also note that in a few years you'll be able to get an emulator and play all the exclusives that you'd want. Perhaps it'd be better to buy something worth getting?
