I know the obvious choice is to choose one or the other service, but I think many people will own both systems and want to play both online.
Well, unless Sony completely knocks one out of the park on their very first try, I'd say the choice will be pretty simple. Xbox Live for the 360 is an absolutely top-notch, first class service. Even if Sony's online system matches what the original Xbox Live was like, the choice is still clearly Xbox Live 360.

Not that the original Xbox Live was bad. On the contrary. It was great. But it still pales in comparison to Xbox Live 360.

Then again, it really ought to be about the games. If Sony's online service doesn't quite match Xbox Live, but they have some awesome games you can't match on the Xbox, then the choice should be simple too.
