But the online play on the PS3 is terrible, Xbox has a more thriving online community.

I much prefer the Xbox after a lot of switching. I have my iPod constantly plugged in so I can listen to my own music. Last FM if I want a bit of variety. Sky Player. Facebook (Even though it's piss poor it can still be handy.)
Playing your music during games is something the Ps3 is missing, but unless I'm playing a sports game I prefer to listen to the actual ingame music (I guess the fact that i have an ipod dock connected to my surround sound system doesn't hurt.) Just makes the experience more immersive for me. Especially if I'm playing a FPS.

I'll never understand how people can focus on shooting something or someone when you can't hear them what's going on in the game world.

The online community on Ps3 seems like its thriving to me, but I've only owned a Ps3 for a couple of years so I can't say how it was earlier.

I think I know what you mean when you say that though b/c the online community on xbox is way more organized. I often find myself wondering why the Ps3 doesn't have a system (not one I can find anyway) of reporting people for misconduct, or why do I have to go to messages to accept an invite but those are minor annoyances that don't ruin the experience for me.
