I can honestly say I love my PS3 to death, and I'm no fanboy.

To be completely honest, I'd be willing to sell my PS3 for a 360 if The Show was also on 360, but it's not. It just seems as though, from what I've read, it's so much easier to do anything at anytime on the 360.
In-game XMB is a nice feature, but it's something that should've been there with the release of the PS3.
As for Home, I'm looking forward to it, but I honestly don't think I'm going to use it that much. I'd much rather use my PS3 to play games rather than hook up with some hormone driven 13-year-old girl that pretends to be 18 and wonders around looking for some cybering.
The PS Store getting revamped won't help the system as a whole. Unless my downloads from the Store continue to download while I play a game, I won't care what the store looks like.
But all in all, there is no truly better system because it's all opinion. Some people like what the PS3 has to offer over what the 360 has to offer and vice versa.

I don't understand why most people are so obsessed with the idea of Home... it isn't actually a game, and will only have detrimental effects on social gaming as a whole because nongamers will see all the fuss and wonder what the **** we are smoking and will brand gaming as mildly antisocial.
I'm not sure what you mean about the store. When I'm playing online the downloading stops, which is actually what I want to avoid lag anyway, and when playing offline it runs fine. Downloads actually seem to continue when other PS3 accounts are signed in, even if they aren't actually registered on PSN so I don't see how they are connecting, but I'm nearly certain it happens. Downloads shoot up 50% while I'm not signed in, sometimes the message saying they have completed come up on the other accounts. Very strange.
Personally I'm all for the console war continuing... competition keeps prices half reasonable. If Sony or Microsoft were to establish a monopoly prices would soar.

if thats true home is gonna be greater than i thought
I have both. I prefer the 360 to the PS3, but I use my PS3 for online stuff, because I just don't want to pay for something I don't believe I should have to pay for. I can play online games on my PC all day long for nothing, but if I want to play the same game on a different format I have to pay? No thanks. For this reason, I'm using my PS3 for online stuff, like Tekken and UT3. Although I must say, it's pretty poor - constant disconnections and a fair amount of lag make me wonder what it's like on 360. But still, it's free so you can't complain too much.
I love both systems, but for me the 360 is where it's at for the most part. It has better exclusives, IMO (FF and MGS don't do it for me), a better pad (again, IMO), and quite often, the same games cost less. But I'll still never pay to play online. For online stuff, I'll use the PS3. It may not be the best, but hey, it doesn't cost a thing.
As for it having more power... please. Yes, it almost certainly does have more power than 360. But have you ever actually seen a real difference when compared to the 360? No, me neither. It's like gloating that your Ferrari is better than my Ford even though your car has a speed limiter on it. It is more powerful, sure, but if nobody can see the difference in games, then it's a complete waste of time to even use it as an argument. The potential is there, sure, but it's not being used.
Oh, the PS3 has the right idea of a store, too. Charge in real money, not damn points. I hate those things.

In reality, both systems kick *** this year. The xbox 360 more so last year than this year, but it still provides a lot of games that I am interested in. PS3 provides most of the 2008 games that I want, but it changes from person to person. PS3 this year has a lot more of the proven, high popular system seller IPs. The 360 has more new IPs this year, and a lot of them seem worthy of trying out.
I'm not even going to get involved in this conversation for the sole reason I can't stand looking at Killens posts.

So I'm guessing you didn't hear the news this week about the Playstation online store getting a complete overhaul? They're re-doing the whole thing this month, and it's actually going to be easier to use than marketplace. Also, I'm guessing you also haven't heard that Sony is adding "In-game cross media bar" in an upcoming update. That means that you'll be able to do all the same in-game stuff as you can on 360. And what's the deal with "OH NO, YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THEM!!!"? You know, not everyone has a lot of money, and that actually DOES matter for most of society. The fact that you have to pay close to $100 dollars just get a wireless adapter is a big deal to most people. And $15 to get the plug-and-play in order to have a rechargable controller like the PS3. I would mention the fact that the HD-DVD drive used to be $180, but that format is dead now anyway, so it doesn't even matter that the price dropped on it. All the facts you stated are true for the most part, but they're weak facts. Those are small things, most of which the PS3 will have solved by the end of April. I think the fact that the PS3 is more powerful, has more capabilites, and is now putting out better games means a lot more than those weak facts you stated. I mean, I really don't think you realize how poorly built the 360 is. It's not very reliable. But trust me, the 360 has nothing on the PS3 when it comes to power. The 360 is using technology that is a decade old. The Cell Processor of the PS3 is brand new, and WAY better. That's why it's taken until recently for the game developers to learn how to correctly build games for the PS3. But you're only going to see it get better and better from here. And like I stated above, the 360 only WISHES they had something like Playstation Home. Do you not realize how innovative and awesome that's gonna be when it comes out?
