Im pulling towards the PS3 and there seems to be alot of development to make it better.

Hmm... awkward question...
At the moment, I'm using the 360 more for games, & the PS3 more for media.
I get multi-platform stuff (like GTA IV) on the 360 rather than the PS3, simply 'cos of Xbox Live, Achievements, & preferring the 360's controller.
The PS3's still a great games machine though, & I don't regret getting it... just needs more exclusives. Uncharted was awesome, easily one of the best games I played last year, & I really enjoyed Heavenly Sword.
If it was a choice between one or the other, and also I was only concerned with games...hmm, I'd probably stick with a 360, for Gears of War, Halo 3, etc.
But the PS3's certainly better much now than a year ago... I wouldn't have even considered getting one back then, when it was
way overpriced & had even fewer decent games.
It all boils down to what you want...
- Do you just want a
games console, which you may also play DVDs & media etc. on; or do you want to pay a bit more for games console + DVD & media player + Blu-ray player etc.?
- Do you mind paying for online multiplayer; or are you happy to make do with the free, but not yet as fully featured, PSN?
- Will you use ethernet, or do you need wireless? [as going wireless with the 360 means adding another £60]
- Do you want to play Halo 3, Gears of War 1 & 2, BioShock, Forza 2, PGR4, Alan Wake, etc.; or do you want to play Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, Ratchet & Clank, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Metal Gear Solid 4, Haze, LittleBigPlanet, etc.?
I just wish Sony would hurry up with improving PSN & adding in-game XMB. Simple yet very useful feature I've been using on my 360 for over two years, yet no sign yet of the equivalent on the PS3 (well, maybe "Summer").
Hmm, if only the next console used Sony hardware & MS software lol.
