- PSN game sharing (in my opinion one of the coolest PS3 features - this can save you so much money if you have at least one friend with another PS3)

- the PS3 is not only a Blu-Ray-player - it's one of the best Blu-Ray-players because it's so future-proof. Just think of BD Live or 3D Blu-Rays - whenever there is a new Blu-Ray feature, PS3 owners get it very soon while owners of "normal" Blu-Ray-players usually have to buy a new Blu-Ray player in order to be able to use that feature

- PS3 is using standard components instead of ridiculously overpriced offical Microsoft stuff. If you want a different hard drive, you can buy just any standard 2,5" SATA hdd. If you want a wireless headset, you can buy just any standard Bluetooth headset (or use the one you already own). If you want a mouse or keyboard for web browsing, you can buy just any standard Bluetooth or USB keyboard or mouse. You can even use standard USB gamepads!

- controller with builtin rechargeable battery, great digital-pad, (almost) all buttons are pressure-sensitive, acceleration sensor

- great multimedia capabilities

- web browser

- XMB does not look as childish as the 360 dashboard

- twice the processing power as the 360

- trophys are superior to the simple concept of a "gamerscore"

- no region lock

- the games that are currently considered the best looking console games of all (e.g. Killzone 2, Uncharted 2 etc.) are all PS3 exclusives

- builtin bluetooth
