XBOX 360 Vs. PS3
Yeah when I got mine, I got it from SonyStyle online, and applied for the sony card. Got $150 off.
So I got the 60 gig PS3 for $350 to my door. It had just dropped to $500. They had the $150 CC deal w/ 0%, Free shipping and 5 free Blu-Ray movies. Think I got a decent deal.
Then I put a 2k TV on the 0% card, Doh
I gotta get it paid off to buy a new rear for the car and then a new daily driver, not in any particular order.

I wouldnt get resistance, I played it for a while and thought it sucked. For those that say ps3 is built for the future, it has already come out that there was not enough RAM to run Assassins Creed lol, I found that interesting. They also said they had trouble fitting it on the 360 disc.

How about Forza 2? Can you play that on PS3? Didn't think so! J/K I own a 360 and it is great, although even at high resolutions there are some jaggies of models (anti alising isn't on in some games). PS3 seems more powerful and is a great system, but it just doesn't have enough games out for it yet.
*Edit*
It's the split memory architecture on the PS3, The PS3 allocated memory for certain processes, while the 360 more or less leaves the majority of it available for the developers to play with. The memory is more constraining on the PS3 as it requires the applications to change how the memory is allocated and used. One thing to note though is the PS3 memory is significantly faster than the 360 DDR3 memory, and that they both use 512meg's. For now it does seem easier to code on the 360, that is if the game fits on the DVD.

Half Life/Counter Strike. Is pretty much the cream of the crop FPS. Especially online. Much bigger calling than Halo.
I haven't played the last Halo, but I was never a fan of previous ones. I thought they were just ok, the vehicles made it fun.
Zman, motorstorm is fun but I would only give it an ok. I did not buy it myself but have played the demo. It's a lot like the old Jet Moto, It will be one of the 1st games to come down in price, wait till it hits >=$30 if you want it.
I just finished COD4, Great game, but the single player is a little short. The quality and contect is really good though. Highly recommend it for either system. (I usually am really harsh on FPS, so it's saying a lot).
For driving games I really like Dirt on both systems. It's a decent mix of sim/arcade.
Watch this and then go buy it,

I also like Rainbow 6 Vegas, even though it's on both systems. If you are looking for PS3 excusive titles I'd probably get Heavenly Sword (kinda like GOW) and this other game coming out Uncharted looks promising. Assassins Creed is out today so I would probably look into that. I've played some basketball demos and like em' too, I hear NBA2k8 is the best.
NFS Pro-Street is also out today, I'd wait for reviews though. Carbon sucked.
GT5 should be out for Xmas
The 1st QTR of 2008 has a lot of anticipated games coming out.
