So after a little over two years of owning a 360, I'm finally saying goodbye. Halo 3, Bioshock and Gears of War is all I accumulated in the game Library for it and now i'm done. Obviously this is due to all the commotion about MGS 4. It was the final push.

So now I want to switch over. But i know absolutley nothing about PS3 and what the best deals on getting one are. So here's what I'm gonna do. I plan to sell my premim 360 with two wireless controllers with those three mentioned games above. I don't know were that will put me exactly but I have enought to cover the after price. So I know there are two versions of the PS3. Now, is the cheaper one a straight up rip off like the Core 360? And is it best to just buy the expensive one?

What I want to be able to do is play PS2 and PS1 games. (Can it play PS1 games?) I also understand that it's a select few. So say, does a game like Jak and Daxter make the cut? Another thing, but this is a dumb question. Can it play regular DVDs?

I've always felt that being on the 360 side of things, the PS3 does suffer from games I would want. And I feel the only thing I'm losing from the 360 is Gears 2. But PS3 has Reident Evil 5 too and that's all that matters really.

So it would be greatly appreciated if someone helped me on what to do and give advice. Thanks.
