Alright, so I'm going to start out with my rant on SKU's, get the negative out of the way, then move on to the positive.

What the crap is with so many sku's? I know I'm not adding anything new to the conversation, and it frustrates alot of people, but seriously? Another 360 sku recently with a 60gb hdd? So I get screwed with a 20gb simply because I bought mine sooner? And don't get me started on the 120gb hdd for $180.
And now we have another new PS3 sku? I'm seriously just confused now. I want a PS3, but I want mine to have B/C. I would love to get this new 160gb version, but I doubt it has B/C. I'm not even sure which versions do anymore. The 80gb does, but then again it doesn't.
Even the hand helds. DS with the colors(and GH pack). PSP now with the 3000. Rediculous.
Enough with the "upgrades" and redo's on a system.
I long for the days when a company put a great deal of work into their product and released it when it was ready. What is wrong with that?

Ok, now that I've said nothing relevant, let's move on to Braid.
I finally bought Braid yesterday(I have no job so it's taken a while), and WOW. It certainly lived up to the hype it received. Truely a brilliant experience. One of the few times in recent gaming memory I can remember finishing a game and being creeped out. I literally had a knot in my stomach from how creeped out it was.
Aside from the story, the puzzles were challenging yet fun. Overall it was a brilliant game well worth the money. I hope Castle Crashers is as good as Braid is.

My l0rd.
While I understand the frustrations with more sku's what I don't understand is the big concern over backward compatablity. I've had my PS3 for over a year and I hardly ever use the backward compatability funcion on my PS3. I'm usually downloading videos and games from the PSN or I'm playing PS3 games. I bought the 80g PS3 bundle with Motorstorm and it was a great value. Now I see a 160g PS3 with Uncharted, PAIN, and a Dualshock control only to drool with envy. Anyone smart enought to pick that up has me very jealous. That is a great value.
Also, upon checking your gamercard, you have not beaten Braid. Why are you lying?
Err... maybe he just hasn't logged into Xbox Live since beating it?
I AM STILL SUSPICIOUS
redrabbit-I'm living in the stone ages and don't have a modem in my room yet. I have to swipe my dad's when he's off the computer, so I don't always have internet in my room(why do I feel like a 14 yr old after typing that paragraph. I'm so lame) I beat the game late last night before going to bed.

Others-I was a total Nintendo fanboy growing up, and never owned a PS2 until recently. So I have a lot of backlogged games to catch up on. Plus upscaling would be sweet. Also, who wants to have 2 systems in their entertainment center when I could just have one PS3 to take care of all my Playstation needs.
If you just get component cables for the PS2, a lot of HDTVs will do a very nice job of upscaling for you. I use this solution, and games look excellent - even those that don't support progressive scan.
