From your criteria, not counting the PS3 media capability.
I would go for the 360. Games on both consoles are usually better on the 360. The controller is far superior. The Xbox Live service does cost money but it is superior to the free PS3 service. Both consoles are great. The PS3 is the superior console in terms of pure horsepower, but it all comes down to the games and the experience. Right now that is the Xbox 360.
