   this is it for ps3 unless they come out with ‘metal gear solid:snake Vs. liquid when they where babies’ since they have come up with all the other names. whoever is buy ps3 for blu-ray is plane stupid. have you ever seen a blu-ray rental dvd at ANY dvd store? the answer is no….they don’t rent them and only a japanese would spend 60+ dollars to buy a blu-ray dvd movie. 360 doesn’t come with HD-dvd and all the other junk like blue tooth and a space ship. why pay for all this junk that comes with ps3 when u can buy a true game console with better graphics, unmatched xbox live and games like gears of war and halo….can a gamer ask for anything more? sure, my 360 doesn’t hoover in air during its commericals but its a far far far better system FOR A GAMER. not to mention that my 360 can connect to any computer on my network, transfer files on the network, and works like a hub to connect my computer to my tv…wirelessly to watch videos, pictures or listen to music. and yes 360 also comes with usb ports so you can connect your keyboard, ipod, zune etc to it. ok let me get off now…i am gonna go play pokemon on ps3 NOTTTTTTT.

   What planet are you on? Unless your a student, or living with your parents, or flushed your credit down the crapper years ago $600 isn’t going to break the bank. My stereo cost more than that and all it does is put out audio, how’s that for comparison? It comes down to this, if I am going to add one more piece of equipment to my entertainment center, it better do more than play video games! Since my purchase of the PS3 I have used it MORE as Blu-ray/dvd player than as a gaming console and yet to pay $60 for a blu-ray disc, where you got that price I haven’t a clue, and you won’t find HD-DVD’s at the video store either! You can however rent them both from blockbuster online and return them to the store!
   The best part is when I turn it on, it works! I went through 2 xbox returns and just decided to throw the third one in the trash when it broke. Now I hear 360 owners are dealing with the same, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me! The bonus? Gamestop gave me $100 for the old wide body ps2 that I needed to disassemble and clean monthly (4 years old)so the price difference vs 360 was a $100! That is a no brainer! As far as games go, when the ps3 is as old as the 360 it will have as many titles, so for me mute point, unless it was all it did, but it isn’t! As FOR A GAMER fine, for now, but an 8.5gb dual layer dvd, vs 50gb blu-ray disc? Remember when you pc hard-drive was in mb? The better the graphics, the more maps, missions, levels, etc, the more space you need, who do you think, in the long run, will run out of room first? The PS3 is built looking forward, the 360 like all microsoft products (windows 95, 98, 2000, me, xp, vista, and all office products)are made with planned obsolescence. Your buying what their selling friend.

   Massive shortages you say, er think not. The fact is I have not seen the PS3 (George Foreman Grill) in stock since release. The 360 sold out for 3 months andthe Wii, well it is very rare I will see one in stock. The PS3 is over-priced and over-hyped completly with most of its games being multi-format.

   For the most part, most of you are complete Morons!! There are some of you who see the true potential and power of the ps3. To you, I say thank you. Thank you for not being retarded, brainwashed fanboys.
   To the rest of you, PULL YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES!!!
   When it comes to next gen consoles, there is no comparison. The 360 isn’t even backwards compatible. The only reason why they are popular right now is because 1, they sped up their release date to beat ps3, and in doing this, gutting their system down to nothing, leaving only the bare minimum of what they needed to be considered a next gen system. 2, Microsoft whored themselves out and bought the rights to just about every game out there! And then had to down grade their graphics, because their crappy system couldn’t handle it!
   And on top of that there is so many ongoing problems with it, that it is’nt even worth anyone’s time to even consider buying it!
   Yes the ps3 had problems, but the key word is had, not has!
   The ps3 has 8 processors! That’s more most computers. Plus you can surf the web and basically use your ps3 like a full blown Personal Computer! Can the 360 do that? NO!
   The ps3 has a blu ray player! I mean ultra high def! What’s the 360 got? An Hd dvd player! Then you will have to buy a whole new system in like two years to keep up with Hd tech. and more advanced gaming that still, won’t compare to the ps3!?! Yeah right.
   So in conclusion and in mathmatical terms,
   Ps3>360+wii
