[QUOTE="Mallus, post: 3851667, member: 3887"] It's actually pretty cheap... [b]if[/b] you're in the market for a Blu-ray player, too. Do you have an HDTV, and are you interested in hi-def DVD's? Right now, not many. Heavenly Sword is gorgeous and fun, but short (own it). The new Ratchet and Clank is supposed to be longer and possibly even more gorgeous (played demo), but reviews indicate it's more of next-gen refinement of the earlier games; evolutionary not revolutionary (of course, the same can be about Halo 3). Superstardust HD is a downloadable Robotron/Geometry Wars-like twin stick shooter which rocks hard and boosts some lovely epilepsy-inducing graphics. I hear really good things about Warhawk and Resistance, too. I also picked up some already-discounted titles; Virtua Tennis 3 (I loved them on the Dreamcast), Virtua Fighter V, and Oblivion. All look and play great, especially at $30 a pop. Frankly, if all you want is a game console and you're wanting more Halo, no. The 360 has a much stronger lineup now, and whether that will change is matter for fanboys to argue about. The PS3 has some really ambitious [i]looking[/i] titles coming up, like Uncharted, Little Big Planet, and graphics-wise, at least, Killzone 2. With any luck, they'll play well. However, if you're also looking for a cheap multimedia center (Blu-ray, upscaling DVD/video file player, music streamer), it's awesome. I'm really digging my PS3 (60g full BC model for $500). It's nice to at least have the option of playing pretty games. My 'gaming computer' is a several year-old laptop whose claim to graphical prowess is that it can play Civ 4 with the animations enabled (at least most of them...). I should mention that a number of my friends have 360's, so I'm not going to miss out on Bioshock, Mass Effect and Halo 3. We're going to swap systems (as soon as few more good games come out for the PS3...). [/QUOTE]
