Xbox 360 has slightly better performance but the exclusives are (just recently) better on PS3 imo.
Halo sucks and I've never played Gears of war but Uncharted, Demon's Soul, God of War. I think PS3 is building a pretty good library. It doesn't make that much difference though, because almost all the best games are cross platform now anyway, so unless you're planning on spending hours upon hours of gaming, you'll never run out of titles.
If you already have a blu ray player and are pleased with it, I'd go with the Xbox because of the slightly better specs (more RAM) and it's more popular in the US so games go on sale more.
As Tikker said, you have pay for online play though, which I think sucks.
Also, unless you want to hack it, the PS3 is better media center then the xbox is, even though it isn't touted as one.
One other thing. Xbox 360s are like 200 bucks right now with 4GB HD. But you can use almost any USB drive as alternate storage devise so if you don't use it that much it's easy to get away with an 8GB USB drive. It's a much cheaper option then the PS3.
