i have played both and Own a xbox 360, it actually has better Graphic when using a HDTV and with the $400 dollar box you get the HD cables, a Xbox live headset , wireless and so on, but the 360 has a game library that is much better than the PS3. The games i have played on PS3 are okay but the 360 has the some of the best games of the past year. I agree that the PS3 is more technology advanced but I dont see that Technology being put to use, other than Blue-ray. The games for xbox that are good are: Gears of War, Crackdown, Shadowrun, Oblivion(PS3 has it too), Deadrising, and RainbowSix Vegas. It also has the Xbox marketplace where you can download games and movies and TV shows. RIght now the xbox360 is the better choice,but maybe after this year with all these big launches of all these new games, it could change.
