720p native (WTF ??? This is 2009 now can we have 1080p like on the 360 ??)
There are more native 1080p PS3 games than native 1080p 360 games. Most games are 360 to PS3 ports (which usually could make much better use of the SPEs), so that's not really a surprise.
subpar online integration ... urgh...not to mention people without mic, that poor psn store and that silly HOME...
Microphones work fine on the PS3, luckily most mic users on the PSN seem more mature compared to on XBL.
Home is IMO a pretty slick free offering, played a game of chess yesterday with a stranger, also practiced the little helicopter game, unlocked some arcade goodies, needless to say I had fun doing that and the potential is huge:

the dualshock is a bit too little and uncomfortable
For you maybe, not for me with my large hands and people within my family and amongst my friends (the Playstation style controller remains the most used game console controller worldwide by far). There are plenty of games which would be unsuitable (or providing a subpar experience) for the XBox controller, for instance Sixaxis controlled games like Super Ruba Dub and Flower or games like Super Stardust HD, Ape Escape or Blast Factor which would be weird and hard to play with the assymetric analog stick configuration or for replaying Snes, Amiga, Sega MegaDrive, etc classics for example under Linux, the 360 dpad is not good for that at all.
