I fail to see any that can "beat" it
360 has more pro's than the PS3 does...
PS3 is better in everything other than 360 specific games, online functionality and price. For everything else they are either equal or PS3 wins.
PS3 advantages over 360:
PS3 specific games (Gran Turismo FTW)
Upgradable HDD (any laptop 2.5" drive, not just "Xbox" drives like for the 360)
Built in WiFi
Free online
Run Linux on it (Folding@Home on it)
Blu-Ray Player
Higher spec hardware
6-axis thingy (It's a gimmick, but still a feature over the 360)
Much more advantages over the 360 than the 360 has over it. One one of the advantages (console specific games) was the same for each anyway.
Hmm, you said this earlier?
Thought you said an advantage that the 360 had OVER the PS3, was it's exclusive games? functionality? and price? yes you can buy a wifi dongle, pay for the online features, and if you bought the 360 WITH ALL these it would still add up to a price which would still be LESS than what it would be to buy a PS3, so you have contradicted yourself COMPLETELY right their.
Woop you can have Linux on it, fun, woop you have a 6-axis thing which you even said was a 'gimmick' - and you say that you have a "higher sped" how can this be the case when you can't really compare the two as they are both completely different (PS3 Blu-ray, 360 HD/DVD.) The only thing which I agree with you on is that Blu-Ray is a better than DVD/HD.
Ok, I'm going to use Argos pricing just to make everything simple. I know stuff is cheaper elsewhere but it's the same for both consoles. I am going to ad periphials to make them as similar spec as possible (wireless, rechargeable, and headset - which are a standard feature of one of the consoles and must be bought to match the other).

Yes, I've added online price to the 360 as pretty much everyone goes online on it. That's just 2 years. It's likely your going to be paying for more than 2 years.
So, if you have both consoles for 2 years you pay a similar price. If you have it longer than 2 years the PS3 starts becoming cheaper. Along with that the PS3 is a Blu-Ray player and all of the other features that I've mentioned.
