Well, I have the three consoles, and I definately use the PS3 the most.
Whenever a cross platform game comes out, I always opt for the PS3 version. The reason is that the 360's fan sounds like a small helicopter taking off in my living room!! The graphics are mostly similar. However, any way you slice it, the PS3 is technologically superior to the 360... When developers will start to take advantage of that power is another debate. :-(

Also, the PS3 has free online multiplayer. Granted the 360 has a much better system for that, if you only casually play one or two games online, it's hard to justify a paid subscription...

Blu-Ray is unquestionably better than DVD. I agree that it's more noticable in CGI movies, but so far I've only seen old Pixar movies upscaled - I bet that full Blu-Ray is waaay better.

Even if Microsoft comes out with a Blu-Ray add on, it will be nearly impossible to match the price of a PS3. Plus, since all PS3 games are on Blu-Ray Disc, there is the potential for storing nearly 10 times more data.. As more developers learn how to use the PS3's incredible hardware, Microsoft will rapidly lose ground, graphics-wise.

Even if you're only interested in Blu-Ray movies, the PS3 is the best player on the market. It costs the same as a low-end dedicated player, plus it has one of the highest rated upscalers around. You can also use Blu-Ray Live with a wired or wireless internet connection, plus firmware updates.

I'm not sure why people think it's ugly though... :-)
