If you already own a 360, then probably not unless you have a HDTV and like movies. Then blu-ray + netflix makes the PS3 much more worthwhile.
Otherwise, you have Warhawk and Resistance FOM as the only online multiplayer shooter exclusives (UT3 is only timed). Other good games include Heavenly Sword (short) and Uncharted, but not enough for a $400 purchase.
I'm finding the same thing with the 360: since I have a PS3 and gaming PC there are only a couple of 360 games I care about, mainly Mass Effect. From the reviews it doesn't seem to be good enough by itself to justify a 360.

I don't believe there has been any announced date or indication that they've started working on the Xbox 360 port of UT3. There's also the issue of whether MS will allow free user-created content to be used with it.
I think it's safe to call UT3 a PS3 console exclusive until they announce a release date on the 360 version.

360 has much better exclusives and a better games library in general.
Only reason to get a PS3 would be for bluray and linux. You need to decide whether a $400 blu ray playing linux computer would be worth it to you.

That's not necessarily true anymore. The PS3 has a few great exclusives already, and a number of good multiplatform games as well. Sure, the 360 has the bigger, and arguably better, library, but saying the PS3 "isn't worth it for the games" is REALLY stretching it.

Actually, for someone who already owns a 360, it is still a valid argument if the person doesn't care about Blu-Ray. There are not enough exclusive FPS games CURRENTLY released on the PS3 that are worth a $400 investment if you already own a 360 imho.

it's worth it if it has games YOU want to play on it or games that YOU want to play in the future when they come out.
or if you want a cheap bluray player.
or both.
