I personally loved making the switch from the PS3 to the 360. More exclusives in line with what I was looking for as well as free online gaming to go with a wireless router and a blu ray player. The only real thing I miss about the 360 is a lot of the multi-platform games, especially sport games look better on the 360 since the 360 is easier to develop games for, but when you have a company that knows how to use the technology the graphics are amazing (Uncharted 2 and God of War 3 come to mind).
Also a random feature of the PS3 that pisses me off about it missing on XBox and I-Pods alike is the ability to play AVI videos.
Still they don't last forever. I don't know how old my first one was because I got it used but it went YLOD on me after a year a half. Though the numbers suggest that the failure rate on PS3's is ridiculously low so you shouldn't have to worry to much about it.
Then again if you play a lot online with your friends you might be better served getting a new one. My brother actually just went out and bought the cheapest model then switched out the hard drive on his RROD X-Box with the 256MB Hard drive on his newest model. Still despite taking great care of the systems he's on his 3rd 360 since 2008.
