If you like shooters, racers or rpg's go with the xbox 360, if you like singstar or you think you will like rpg's shooters and racers in the year 2010, go with ps3.
Lol. Seriously now. The ps3 has more nuts and bolts raw power, whether this can actually be tapped for games remains to be seen. At this point in time, their doesnt exist a ps3 game that the 360's processor couldnt handle. That said, if the power of the Cell can be harnessed for games (some developers think it cant be, Sony says it can), then graphically sony first party games and exclusives will start to look better in a couple of years. Some technicians have argued that the 360 is better suited to creating things like AI and physics than the Ps3 though.
Right now and for the next 6 months the 360 has easily the better games lineup. If it gets MGS4, it will also have the better games lineup for the first half of 2008 as well. However at the end of 2008 there is the possible release of FFXIII and GT5 so microsoft will have to pull something massive out of their ass to compete in christmas 08.
The 360 has the best online but it costs money and sony could rally. Bear in mind that some sony executives have stated that as their service catches up to microsofts it may cost money.
If you want to use your console as a high-def movie player wait and see for a while. Many fanboys are touting blu-rays victory but the reality is Toshiba is already shifting many HDDVD enabled laptops, and more standalone players. I believe Blu-ray will win eventually, but toshiba will probably have a viable format as well.
If you decide to get a 360 wait a month and get the new falcon model, which runs quieter, cooler and should avoid most hardware issues
