I can't recommend the 360 enough.
From 94-2004 I was very much into PC games. I was upgrading pc's every six months, playing a lot of FPS Quake 1-3, Diablo, Battlefield 1942-2142, Warcraft 2-3, Lots of MMO's (EQ, Star Wars Galaxies, Planetside, Asheron's Call 2, World of Warcraft, Lineage 2), and then all of a sudden the 360 was released in 2005 and was offering features that were serious competition to PC.
After getting a 360, I found myself less interested in sitting in front of my PC night after night.
As for the PS3. I owned a 40gb version for about 6 months, and never really got into it. As a Blu-Ray player it is excellent, but as a gaming system it is not as complete of experience as the 360. There is something about xbox live that makes you feel like you are in a community of gamers. Much like an MMO, I log in play my games and I see everyone of my friends online. I can check out what games they are playing, invite them to parties etc.
Hope this helps.

- Gamerscore system
- Controller designed for console fps's from the ground up (still not as accurate as kb/m but i'm totally used to it)
