A lot of people on here are confusing "Thermal Pads" with "Thermal Paste", which are not even close to the same thing. One is a pad, the other is a paste.
Also, the PS3 and 360 are not even comparable, as the process is not the same. In theory yes, in process no. I find working on the PS3 more similar to a laptop, where the xbox is a little more easier to access like a desktop.
I myself, would like to purchase the Thermal "Pads" only, as I already have tools and a heat gun. I've only found one seller on eBay, but they sell one large pad you have to cut up and it's still $12.

NOTE: Also, unless you reball or reflow the PS3, replacing the Thermal pads and paste will not really matter.
