My PS3 is standing and is also a fraction of the noise my brother's 360 elite makes (the DVD-ROM drive in it makes a racket alone).
Never felt like I made the wrong decision here, but my tastes in gaming may also differ. Also, for the case a 360 game that comes out that I do want, in my case, a PC port is always made available eventually so I'm covered regardless.
I quite love my PS3, albeit Sony is still a little behind in unifying their online system and making it easier to game with people on your friends list, but future updates may fix that.
Anyways, it's all about the games, if the 360 has all you want (or all the 'exclusive' content you have to pay for) or the games you primarily want get shafted on the PS3 port, then it you may as well go for the system if there's nothing in the future line-up of PS3 exclusives that interests you.
