Andy, PS3, in my personal opinion, is a far better machine than the X360 so long as your not a huge 1st person shooter fan in which case the X360 is the one to go for.
My X360 has just cried enough (it's got the Extreme firmware update and although it plays backups fine it has just given up palying originals) and I won't be replacing it!!!!!!!
PS3 is a brilliant machine, Wii is still the most fun. Just bought Candice Mario Olympics today and not heard a word since .... money well spent
