The feature list comparisons are nice but my biggest trump card however isn't a bullet point list like most people like to throw in each others faces but the community itself.
The XBL community is just vastly larger then PSN. I've had my 360 for right at a year now, my PS3 for 8 months. For the first few months I didn't have internet on my 360 so the times spent online are very similar. In that time I've accumulated over 20 friends on my XBL list and 2 on my PSN. About 4-5 of those are IRL friends and the rest I've all met in multiplayer games. I still think the smartest thing Microsoft did was include a headset with the 360. So many more people are chatting online and it makes teamwork and meeting others much easier. Most online games I've played on PS3 are a virtual ghost town as far as chat goes. Maybe you're anti-social and prefer multiplaying gaming quietly alone (oxymoron much?) but I'm not one of those and look forward to playing with others. That community feature is why I've graduated more and more to buying online multiplatform games for the X360 over the PS3. For exclusives I'll obviously go for the PS3 and single player games it's a toss-up as far as features & performance.
My biggest complaint as far as XBL goes is that the online store is so crowded with content that it makes finding some things somewhat of a chore. I remember a month or so back even Microsoft expressed some disappointment that they hadn't planned more for the huge influx of content they have now. One positive though is at least it loads fast and is easy and quick to get to. The PSN store is visually nice but I don't like having to load it separate from the XMB and it seems to load quite a bit slower then the marketplace.
