When comparing the PS3 with the Xbox 360 you have to take into account
Xbox 360 premium £280. (only 20 gig hard drive)
HD-dvd drive £120.
Thats £400.
PS3 £425 with 60 gig drive.
So if you take into account updating the hard drive on the 360 the PS3 would work out cheaper.
As a pure basic console the 360 is cheaper. If you are considering high def/blue-ray as well( which in a couple of years we will proberly all have)then the PS3 is the one to go for.
