Well, every time I see the PSN take strides, like the new XMB and movies and the store revamp, XBL announces stuff to stay a step ahead. Other than "free" I don't know how they are going to surpass them. They might catch up, but XBL will just steal whatever new feature comes up and make their own version. And so far MS has been more efficient in implementing big changes because they've spent so many years laying the groundwork.
PS3 doesn't need to be better than XBL. It needs to stay free and then be competitive with XBL. That will be advantage enough, I would say.
But who knows? When Home finally (maybe?) gets released and every game has the Home Base (i.e. Wahawk/Uncharted/etc.) and every game has trophies and whatever else they are planning, then maybe they WILL be better. But Sony hasn't yet lived up to its promise as far as online goes. I hope they get there, though.
