Xbox 360 vs. PS3

[Side-Note] - Can this thread, by chance, be an official one? I can see this being quite popular.
It's a subject that brings us gamers to major debates - and war. So which one is the better console? Here's my honest opinion.
Having played both Playstation and Xbox over the years, and seeing the birth of the newer generations, my decision has become final. I prefer the Xbox. I've always been one for the Microsoft machinery. Don't get me wrong, the Playstation franchise is great and I've played the PS1, PS2, PSP and PS3 - So, I have experience in each. I own each of the ones I just listed besides the PS3, I don't see why I should fork out anymore money for another newer generation console when my Xbox 360 is fine, and has been fine since 2008.
So why did I pick the Xbox 360? Here's why:
For starters, the Xbox 360 is only £159.99 here in the UK compared to the PS3 which was released originally at £479.99 - which is incredibly stupid. Sony obviously knew that nobody was going to buy their console unless they were bathing in money, so they reduced the price down to £342.99 - still quite alot of money. The Xbox is obviously winning more people over with it's reasonable and affordable price. Why you'd want to spend £350 on something that's equally as good, if not better, for hundreds of pounds cheaper, I'll never know.
Secondly, the performance and visual quality of the Xbox 360 is much more satisfying compared to the PS3. You may say that it depends on which game you're playing, then yes; I'd agree with you on that. It's like comparing Two Worlds to GTA4 on Xbox 360, it's horrible. But in truth, the Xbox 360 does actually have better graphics and performance compared to the PS3. The 360's GPU and processor is much more powerful than the PS3's.
Thirdly, and this section is covering the differences between both consoles, on paper the PS3 is better than the Xbox 360. In reality? The PS3 falls disastrously at the 360's metaphorical feet..or usb port in this case. Each console has it's exclusive games, such as PS3 with Little Big Planet, Resistance etc. - whereas the Xbox has much more succesful exclusives such as Gears of War, Halo and Fable. If you can't already tell that Xbox's exclusives are better than the PS3's then you're completely blind and should probably stop reading.
Furthermore, many of my friends that own a PS3 have said that Sony doesn't offer very good online and technical support. Plus, with the vast range of updates Sony dish out, it doesn't surprise me. One of my friends said that the new 'home-beta' they updated wouldn't work for any console for around a week, whereas when Microsoft updated the 360's dashboard, that worked almost instantly. Microsoft are always around to offer support, either via email or by phoning them up, you'll always have somebody there to help.
So, now that you've (hopefully) read my opinion on why the Xbox 360 is better than the PS3, I'd love to know what you think about the whole subject. Which console do you think is better? The Xbox 360 or the PS3? Keep this one clean guys and girls, this aint' the cage.
