There's a reason it has so vastly outsold PS3. Yeah, the quality isn't as good, but MS has a good warranty in place. Compare the cost. X360 barebones can be had for 199, PS3 399.
I have to disagree with everyone over the PS3 as a good BR player. Yeah it has a blu ray player built in, but it's loud as hell. I never use it, I picked up a cheap BR player at best buy that works much better. And Home sucks.

Have to disagree with you Joe. The PS3 is, still, considered far superior to almost any stand alone BR player on the market when it comes to PQ, audio, features, etc. It consisently beats BR players costing 2-3 times as much. Not me talking but the geeks out AVS forums.
Noise? Frankly, I can't hear the thing over my HT system, so what do I care?
The PS3 is equal to, if not better than the XBox 360 as a gaming platform, when you add in the additional features (BR player, media streamer, internet browsing) there's really no comparison to the two machines. Like already stated, apples to oranges, the PS3 is designed, and continues to be updated as, a multi media machine. The 360 isn't in the same class when it comes to that.
And Joe, given your love of Linux, you surely know that the PS3 is designed as a dual boot system and fully supports the installation of Linux on it right, making it a fully functional HTPC in your system rack?
