Ever since my first 360 died, I have felt cheated playing my 360. I like the openness of Sony's platform. I also like the extra support via maps, mods and other free content. Looking for answers from people that have both or all three(wii). Although, anyone can reply.

It seems like you already want a PS3. Not much we need to do to convince you.

PS3's price will go down, but so will 360's, which is a problem if you're going to sell.

Any online enabled game can get mods. PS3 online is free, hence, free mods.

I think they are clearing the 60 gigs due to the recent memory price drops and replacing them with 80 gigs.

Still weak. I can get a 500GB hard drive for $100 wholesale (in this case, 2 markups from factory price, which I don't know).

One was out of warranty. They recently honored it after many delays after "determining" that too many were coming back.

True, but you can't throw a five hundred gig in the360, they require the "special" Hard drive. You are also getting wifi if I am correct?

Like the first guy said, sounds like you do want a PS3, and there are things to consider.. games, features, online, so put some thought into what you really want, and don't a rush decision, trust me you don't want to regret it...

Buy one if you want one, why do we need to convince you one way or another. This is a decision best made by you.

*nod* I considered that.Luckily my PC can pick up most of the slack on those titles. I just want to get the best version possible of the games I am buying.It seems like MS is charging now, and giving later. Where as with Sony, you get everything upfront.

I say, buy the $500 60GB ps3 as soon as possible (before stock runs out and all your left with is $600 ps3's) Buy resistance, maybe some other good games. (motorstorm? rent?) And fold until some the really good games start coming out which should be right around september...

I should buy a wii I am so out of shape lol. I will make this decision on my own. I would still like feedback from those who have multiple systems, or experiences with the PS3 though. Thanks again for the responses.

One was out of warranty. So, I had to get a core 360 to replace the other xbox that was out of warranty.

Rent the systems if you are unsure about them, that is, if you can. I am pretty sure you should be able to rent them for a weekend or something. I know, if I were unsure about such a purchase as a PS3, I would really like to try one first. Take a look into what games are out, what games are coming and whether or not they interest you. The worst thing that could happen is you end up with a gaming console with no games that interest you.

*nod* You got it. It was a very nice paper weight until recently when MS finally acknowledged what we all knew for the last two years. 360's have issues venting, which leads to meltdowns and flashing red rings.

rent ur system at walmart u get 90 days for a full cash refund. i rented a 360 for 2 weeks but i was to scared it would brake so i said its over heating they didnt ask a nother thing and they gave me my 420 bucks back.

imo the 360 is the best game system this gen. right now i woulda kept it but im not loseing 420 bucks dont care how fun it was...

You buy two of a system, if one breaks down and you do not havea warranty. You can send it for repairor buy another unit. I choose to buy another machine andwarranty the new one instead. My oldunit is being repaired now, finally by MS after the extended 3 year warranty. Didn't mean to confuse you. I wouldn't just randomly buy two 360s lol.

Well, I have been a supporter of xbox ever since my dreamcastwas nolonger "supported." I have no lovefor Sony what so ever. But I am not going to deal with hardware failures,2-3 week repair times, and half-games that turninto full games later on when the PS3 version surfaces. I want abetter value formy gaming dollar. I know MS is giving a break on hardware, but we are getting no breaks on anything else. 60 bucks a game plus 10 bucks for extra content thatbecomes free later on adds up. So does the 50 a year for live, heckthey even charge you to change your gamer tag! It just seems like a money making scam almost sometimes with littletime spent on fixing bugs, or improving the infrastructure that supports the games. I do like the marketplace, and the free swag, but it just isn't worth all the hassle and cost. The peer to peer model isn't the best, when we should have servers. I can see Alice in Wonderland in HD somewhere else. :DAlthough, that will be my next rental.

Plain and simple get a ps3 now then build your money back up for the games.
