Guys I just got $1000 from my parents for XMAS and am thinking of splurging a bit and getting a PS3 250 GIG. I think that even though the vast majority of games out there come on both the 360 and PS3, there are enough exclusives on the PS3 to validate a 360 owner for making a PS3 purchase. I know the PS3 is a great, reliable console with Free online and BluRay. I just wonder if having a PS3 and a 360 is overkill. Your thoughts please?

Will you use it for more than games? I find I use my PS3 most for listening to music. Has an amazing soundcard, and through 5.1, it blows your mind. If you're only gonna use it for games, then I say no. If you plan to use it for games, and all the other great features, then yep. Either way, hope you enjoy, and MERRY CHRISTMAS :D -Joel

Depends what games you'd want to play. My favorites: -Ninja Gaiden Sigma -Demon's Souls -Killzone 2 And it's also getting Dante's Inferno (which 360 will get too) and God of War 3, as well as both Final Fantasy 13 games, so if you like those, you should consider it, not to mention Uncharted and many many others.

I'd say go for it, there are tons of exclusives for the console and you also get the Blu-Ray player etc.

No... it isn't overkill... consider yourself lucky if that happens coz you'll have the best of both worlds... if someone would give me that amount, i might get myself a 360. Our exclusives are enough reason to get a PS3... MGS4, Uncharted 1 & 2, Demon's Souls, Valkyria Chronicles, Resistance: FoM & 2, Little Big Planet, Ratchet and Clank, God of War Collection, Killzone 2... also coming, God of War III, etc...

If you got the cash and the time, why not? The ps3 has some very good exclusives that are already available or will soon be available. Its also a very good blu ray player. If you decide to get a phat its also good at playing older consoles as well (see signiture).

Wow you got $1000 from your parents alone? You should sell the Xbox and games and get rid of the XBL fee. =)

nah I think that PS3 is much better but it is senseless to own 2 consoles

maybe you should to invest the money on your x360 an buy a new LCD, Many games and maybe things like a HT, qualitative headset, etc.
