I'm pretty sold on my Xbox 360. It's impressed the heck out of me. That being said, the PS3 looks nice too, but it is just waaay too expensive for my blood. If I remember correctly I paid $300 for the PS2 soon after its launch. A basic PS3 is going to cost $500, and premium will cost $600. Meanwhile, a core Xbox 360 system costs $300, and the full package system costs $400. Yah... I can deal with a $100 price jump (the difference between what I paid for the PS2 and what I paid for the Xbox 360)... but $200 - $300 (PS3)??!!
As for the whole Blu-ray thing, I could really care less about it. I have no reason to be playing Blu-ray discs.
Maybe in a few years after the price has dropped I'll get a PS3. Until then though it looks like it will be left for those that are willing to shell out the cash for it.
Sorry, Sony.
With this + the flashblock script from userjs.org I don't even have to bother with manually blocking ads 90% of the time, just update a server list every couple of days.
