My Xbox 360-E is very quiet. Also unlike the PS3, you can install (almost) any game and other than the initial disc check, it runs off the HDD entirely. Whereas PS3 games still use the blu-ray to some extent even when installed, and far from all games let you install them.
Coming from Xbox, I've found the PS3's menus a bit of a mess - far too many similar-sounding options to scroll through. Also it doesn't auto-sync trophies, which I find incredible when Xbox has always done this with its achievements.
