| If I was buying a console to be a console, at this stage, I'd be getting a 360.
The costs is less, the current next gen game selection is a lot wider and the quality of the games is top notch. Xbox Live has a lot to offer - even if there is a cost associated with it. You get what you pay for in terms of XBL vs PS Home. (Arnwyn and I obviously disagree here.)
With a new unit, you can install to HDD and avoid the noise problem. (And as mentioned elsewhere, the noise is a significant issue).
If Blu-ray or using it to watch movies (even DVD) is something you intend, then the obvious choice is the PS3. As a console, it has a smaller selection of current titles - but it's otherwise a fine machine. Given the noise issue, the fact that you can use the 360 as an upscaling DVD player is more a theory than a reality. It's too damn loud.
I don't think you can go outright WRONG with either choice, but for use as a pure console, the 360 advantages tilts the board in its favour.
That's my .02. And yes, I have both a 360 and a PS3.
