Both can use a USB keyboard/mouse. Though not for games. Microsoft forbids it and while Sony does permit it, only one game (Unreal Tournament 3) supports it for some godforsaken reason.The PS3 has an edge if internet usage is desired, as It supports bluetooth for wireless keyboards/mice. Plus, while both have ethernet, the PS3 comes with wifi built in. It's also got 2 USB ports, though with a mouse + Keyboard + controller (they charge off of a USB port) you may still need/want a hub or separate controller charger. Plus it is still one of the best Blu ray players. If you want to use the console as a media hub, the PS3 is quite simple to upgrade the HD on, though it does use the more expensive/smaller 2.5" (ie. notebook) drives. The 360 is... not. At least if you don't want to buy a highly overpriced HD from MS.The 360 requires a separate adapter for wifi that is quite expensive ($100 list!) and occupies the only USB port, though AFAIK there's no reason you can't use a USB hub with it. There doesn't seem to be any wireless keyboards/mice for it, though there is a texting keypad that you can put on your controler. Sony has recently introduced a similar item.</blockquote>
