The only thing that I think's a real scam with the 360 is the $120 (CDN) Wifi adapter. That's ridiculous. As long as you get a PS3 with a packed-in wifi, you're getting a better deal. If you do get a PS3, try to get the ones that are backwards compatible. Honestly, that's the thing I've been using the most on my PS3.

Trying to prove to your friends that BluRays are nice is nigh impossible. Seriously. Unless they get what HD is, they might say something like "Oh, that's nice" and then secretly wonder why you would shell out so much money for that kind of tv.

I own both a 360 and a PS3, and currently, I play more games on the 360. By far. But the PS3 probably has more longevity, so if you are going to be paying about equal for them (and once you add up getting the HD and wifi, you probably are) then... yeah, I can understand going for the PS3. Its online component is a big pile of crap though.

Fuck 360, You're making a great choice.
Buy UT3 and I'll be happy to shoot you in the face.


Seriously though, you won't regret your decision.
Welcome to the darkside.

PS3 Now: A joke compared to 360
PS3 By the end of the year: Probably the console of choice.

It's got a lot coming, your just going to have to wait a while.

PS3 or 360 are wise choices, if you go for the ps3 i will join Sadie in blowing your face off :)!

Yeha, I just picked up a PS3 recently as well after only having a 360 for about a year and a half now. The Blu-Rays are definitely nice,especially now that it won the war (I recommend getting Kung Fu Hussle).

This year's lineup has me sold that it will be a great system and I'm not as scared to turn it on or keep it stored in my entertainment center. The only reason I was a bit hesitant is that it's a beast. I was thinkin of waiting for the slims to come out, but with the release of Ryu ga Gotoku (Yakuza in the west) Kenzan, I decided to take the plunge. The battle system in that game needs some work, but the story is freakin amazing with top notch production value. Plus, it's a must for when u need to see 8 year old girls getting sold in prostitution slavery. Cant have enough of that in a video game (damn Japan and their not-so-hidden addiction to pedophilia) But how dare you judge!! It's a culture thing!! Anyway, I digress. People use to say the Wii60 was the way to go, but I think not. It's all about the PS360. Enjoy your new purchase!

Mass Effect is gonna be on PC in May, and it's going to be a significantly BETTER game for it, so just play that on the PC.

Mass Effect is pretty boring. You're not missing out on much.

There's some great stuff out there for PS3. I intend to get one once they release the MGS4 pack.

However, to correct someone above, the 360 wifi adapter is NOT $120 CDN-- I was in Future Shop yesterday and saw one for $30.

I joined last week and bought a PS3. Grabbed one of the 80gb bundles before we sold out of them. I have to say, having had a 360 since about 4 months after its launch, I'm enjoying the PS3 more in the matter of a week. The main menu design and the multimedia features really outshine anything that the 360 can put forth. And I bought warhawk and UT3 yesterday. So all is right with the world. You're making the right choice.

I don't know why people are bothered with teh elite. The premium also have a HDMI port and unless your planning to use the movie service every day I am still trying ot fill up my 14gb's. I think you'd have more fun with the 360 and it would be more cost effect seeing as we get raped for games in the UK and the 360 has cheaper games out of hte 2 consoles.

Also the fact that time and time again the developers proove to us that games are made o the 360 first then ported to the ps3. I dono.. personally I think the 360 would of been a more fun choice. However PS3 for metal gear and final fantasy, so while your playing with those I'm crying in a corner.

OK bought the PS3 Last night for £299.97 with Assasins Creed and Ratchet and Clank.

Getting a decent HDMI cable today (not getting a crap one like a mate got.
