One option is to see if you can make any use of the media functions of the 360... Turn it into a Stereo for a bit, and rip all your CDs to it. If you can get video working, convert a bunch of random viral videos to WMV and watch from the confort of your living/bedroom.
The 360 is a sinking system now that the PS3 is out and will be hitting its stride soon. Imagine all the jPRGs! Sure, the 360 has some good games right now, but it's not Final Fantasy.
Plus, you can install Linux on the PS3. Think of the fun you can have with Linux!

Tell me more, this PS Three as you say sounds quite interesting. What are these jay-arr-pee-gees?

Oh, they're just magical. Some effeminate boy saves the world from another effeminate evil man. One of them had boobies.

Yeah, I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not. I guess it depends on which forum you go to.
The DS is actually getting the next Dragon Warrior so that will hurt Sony's chances in Japan next year.

Ah, most excellent then.
Seriously enough, the OP sounds like he wants to get rid of it, and its a pretty good time to leave, you could do pretty decently selling off a 360 before Halo 3 drops. Besides, if he ever wants to come back he can get one cheaper and probably with redesigned internals.
Seriously, though. If you aren't enjoying the system and can get a decent amount of money for it, then go for it. If you want to hang on through the summer drought and catch up on some awesome games you missed, keep it.
I think having a 360 and a Wii makes you set for anything you'd ever want this generation.
Too Human and Mass Effect are big titles for me (though Bioware is on notice, if i have to unite a pair of lovers from rival families one more time...) . I have my eye on Assassin's Creed, too.
I think selling an Xbox 360 if you love video games is silly because it has clearly the best line up for the rest of the year if you ask me (and I think Wii's and DS's look pretty great too), and is likely going to be the best selling high-horsepower next-gen system for the next year or so, perhaps even a couple years, perhaps for the whole generation. And the consoles that people buy are the ones that get the games.

My Xbox 360 doubles as a portable heater. Seriously the sucker warms up my room in 15 minutes.
Halo 3 Halo 3 HALO 3
Thats the main reason I have mine other than cosy feet and Assasin's Creed.
Thanks to all of you who were kind enough to give actual opinions instead of insults. As for the rest of you thanks for reminding me why I hate most people. I'm going to make my own decision on whether or not I want to keep it or sell it I just wanted to see what others thought and see what they were looking forward down the road.
There is a guy at work who absolutely insists that the Xbox360 is going down the tubes, that Microsoft has no playable games, he hasn't touched his xbox360 in 6 months and MS is so desperate because they are losing to sony (he stood in line for a PS3, I dunno what games he plays on it because he hates shooters so I guess... Genji or something)
I like talking to fanboys, the sheer hilarity of it all.
Anyway @ the OP, you were given plenty of reasons to keep it and referred to them as insults (honestly what do you expect? every other thread is about some xbox 360 game coming out), if you've made up your mind not to keep it just sell it, it's a no brainer.

Honestly, would you rather play all of those inferior games on the XBOX 360, or play games in four dimensions on the PS3? I mean, is there really any other choice?
I didn't play my 360 for probably five months after I had played Gears of War into the ground. I recently bought Forza 2 however and I'm back at it with a renewed Live account and am blown away by the quality of this game. With Mass Effect, Halo3, GTA4, Bioshock, and Guitar Hero 3 square in my sights, I may put it down again for a few months, but I know I'll come back to it again and again.
Also, say what you will about Microsoft, but I continue to be blown away by the Dashboard and Xbox live -- they are truly noteworthy feats of interface and multiplayer design, respectively.
Lately I've also considered picking up a Slim PS2 since the only PS2 games I really played were FFX and GTA3 on a borrowed console, to fill in the gaps of these Xbox360 blockbuster releases. God of War 1/2, Guitar Hero 80's Edition, FFXII, Metal Gear Solid 3, GTA:SA, and the Prince of Persia series look pretty compelling.

For the record, KEEP IT. Like others have said...if after this year you're still unsure...then sell it.
Money was tight at one point which resulted in me almost selling my 360. Then I remembered all the cool XBLA games I had and repented of my sin. Pacman: CE just came out last week and the Prince of Persia remake came out today. I made the right decision.

I may get one when they're under $200 with the hard drive. I think the most exciting prospect about it all is the Live Arcade.
Edit: And a few titles that probably won't end up on PC, and possibly MGS4 someday...
I really hope Black and Army of Two don't suck
I'm still convinced it's the best $500CAD I've ever spent.

Quite frankly... LOL @ Genji.

Exactly, what's the point in having a Wii if you can't waggle it?
