The 360 also is guaranteed for 1 year.
Personally I want a Wii, but damn, I gotta write down all these numbers to make up a friends list or whatever it is with the Wii? NIntendo's kind of lame ducking it in that department.
I'd get a PS3, but the 360's too sweet right now. Halo3, Call of Duty 4, many many excellent games, and Rainbow Six Vegas 2 in March.
What really should influecne your decison is not schematics, system performance, etc, but what games you want to play. Each system has its exclusives.
Wii: Super Mario Galaxy, Nintendo Properties(zelda, Smash Bros Brawl etc) and.. No More Heroes
PS3: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, and the upcoming Metal Gear Solid 4/Metal Gear Solid Online (PS3 really doesn't have much of a library to boast at the moment)
360: Halo3, Call of Duty 4, Madden 08, Gears of War(still one of the most popular games on XBOX Live), and the best selection of the 3 consoles in terms of game variety.
Call of Duty 4 and Madden 08 are also on PS3, but popular choice seems to prefer he 360 version each time. I think COD4 on the 360 has better network, and the PS3 version of Madden 08 runs at 30 frames per second, while the 360 runs at 60, and again, the XBL network trumps Playstation network.
Again, I'd get a 360, meet a ton of deaf people here and at DGO, and never look back! Heh.

I'm with that except for few, just trying to right you.
For network via PS3, You means communicate to service (such as NAT), If it does then Xbox 360 has same thing, no difference for gamers who don't know how to fix the issue, it's actually from NAT that control the network via router, it's actually from router issue, that needed to configuration so properly, such as put PS3 in DMZ or open the port forwarding, also enable UPnP is just would help but not enough if you have double NAT then DCHP server need to be disabled if your modem has router feature built-in, that how cause an issue for PS3 or Xbox 360, at once when NAT was open via Xbox 360 after UPnP was enabled wouldn't show an right configuration, you would experience about unable to communicate the server. Other thing, if you have trouble to communicate the server after router was configuration so properly then it was from developer issue, that needed to be fix via patch update when they are rolling it on console, when you running the specific game that experienced with issue, no known when patch will come out but just like surprise you.
For Madden 08, run at 60 fps on Xbox 360 and run at 30 fps on Ps3, it's just from developers that don't focus so much on PS3, it supposed to be improve when Madden 09 is come out, PS3 has powerful graphic chipset (GeForce), that which is more powerful than Xbox 360's ATI chipset, according on news, Crysis won't run on both of them but developers are possibility that Crysis would be able to run on PS3, just like expected but I haven't notice if they will develop it or not.
COD 4 isn't exclusive to Xbox 360, found that you stated in your post, it was came out on multi-platform.
For Oddball, If you are causal gamer then Wii would be likely to be right choice for you but some Wii games can be hardcore like Zelda and Metroid, plus you would learn to use physical move, such as motion sensor. If you don't want demand on motion sensor then PS3 or Xbox 360 would be your right choice, PS3 has more features on hardware, such as blu-ray since Xbox 360 has other features like online, just mixed features on between 2 consoles. If you don't want buy MS crap then PS3 would be best choice, I was found out from ign and stated that Xbox 360 would possibility to be #3 in next year or couple, just don't know if would be happen and you can keep PS3 for length of time, maybe at least for decade, plus if you are really care about deaf gamers online then Xbox 360 is for you.
