Yeah, the PS3 has an ethernet port. The only system without such an obvious feature is the Wii, but Wii online is such garbage anyway you shouldn't bother.

You can pick up an Ethernet to USB adapter pretty cheap these days.

Price, performance, visual quality, game selection and online support. I think the XBOX 360 wins in every category

Not anymore. PS3 and 360 are tied at price now. The PS3 has the better visual quality because that's what it was designed for. Game selection goes to the 360 as it has had a much better exclusive selection so far, but the PS3 may be catching up. Online support is all the 360 as Xbox Live is far superior to the PSN.

I own both and they're both very good systems and have their own perks. Overall though I personally like the 360.
