Well ends up PS3 isn't the ultimate media centre after all. someone at work had one, got a denon AVR, and now the scaling on the ps3 looks like rubbish in comparison. + it's sony. ps3 now for sale.

and 360 has better games, and real racing games like forza. You can also buy a HD drive for $40-50 and get a crap load of $10 movies / $20 boxsets on HD, but you'll wanna hurry since the sales are tieing up now

I'd perfer the ps3 99% of the time. I am an un-fan of the 360. I even made a facebook group about how much I hate the 360. Here's exactly what's said in my group (it's slightly edited, but yeah):

"Fact 1: Microsoft are giving out $100 million US cheques to studios just to embrace their HD-DVD. N00bish, just like the 360 fanboys!

Fact 2: Only Paramount and Universal studios are supporting HD-DVD, whereas every single other studio are backing blu-ray!

Fact 3: Blu-ray movies have sold more than HD-DVD

Fact 4: Sony are working on a dual-layer blu-ray. That's about 100 Gigabytes of space on it!

Fact 5: Our PS3 exclusives are a LOT better than what's seen on 360. Heavenly Sword, Resistance: Fall of Man, Motorstorm, Uncharted, Warhawk, I believe Ratchet and Clank, Singstar and the upcoming MGS4: Guns of the Patriots and Resistance 2 (yes, it has actually been confirmed, and likely to be on the ps3 too, since it was so successful first time round) . All of these are PS3 exclusives and they are jolly good to the extreme!

Fact 6: This is a quote from the official Playstation magazine of Australia:

"While admittedly not attached to any specific game, this is still well worth a gander, as it relates specifically to the hi-def format war and, in particular, to the fact that blu-ray is a bee's dick away from declaring outright victory. Something that Hitler, in this bizarre mesh of scenes from the film Downfall with 'tweaked' subtitles is all too painfully aware of"
As you can see from the text given, this shows that they think Xbox can either get away with tweaking subtitles, or they're having laugh at something that's not funny and that people all around the world are going to buy. NAUGHTY Microsoft.

Fact 6: quite a few games you see on 360 originally came from Sony. Take for example, the GTA series. That was very good on Sony. They probably took it onto Xbox to increase sales, but hell, sales were already great at the time!

Fact 7: the PS2 was the second most successful console in 2007 (behind the Nintendo DS). Obviously most of that must have come from selling their PS2's to companies (Gamestop for instance buys and sells everything gaming). to get a PS3. Either that or God of War II got hell popular.

Fact 8: Unlike Xbox, Sony isn't trying to confuse studios to move to downloading loads of stuff. It gives people a hell of a lot more on their bill! Who's fault was that that a studio doesn't put half of what they wanted to put in? They either do it on purpose so they are caught in the 'download everything' trap or they're just not that good developers and don't bother putting everything in, but they chuck the leftovers onto the 360's downloading network.

Fact 8: It seems some 360 studios are running out of ways to make money from their games, so what do they do? yes! They put them on to another console. Yes, I have seen 'Lost Planet: Extreme condition', which is a port of the 360 version (and an old one at that), and it sucks! It looks very dated and shoddy. "We might be going bankrupt because no-one's buying Lost Planet! What do we do?" "I know. We can put it on another console and see if they might move to the 360". Nice idea, bad choice!!!!

Fact 9: Does Bill gates REALLY need any more of your money?!? (After failing with Vista, it seems there's a chain reaction that goes to the 360)"

I also heard recently that toshiba has quit making HD-DVD players, which makes blu-ray the 'bleeding obvious' winner of the format wars.

it's hardly news that bluray HAS won the war of high def formats. Some valid points you raise there.

HD-DVD might still be able to get on their feet again, but I think it has. Because Toshiba has given up on HD-DVD, the PS3 is now the cheapest blu-ray player o the market. Even Microsoft abandoned HD-DVD (Who aren't producing the add-on for the 360). I also believe some companies are now focusing on the PS3 more than ever. for example, EA, who will be making God of War 3 (I think) as well as some good exclusive games like GT5, MGS4, Resistance 2, Motorstorm 2 and others. HD-DVD only has just over half as much space as Blu-ray, HD-DVD had trouble getting studios to back them (Paramount and Universal Studios are supporting HD-DVD, while blu-ray are being backed with every other studio. I think Warner Bros turned down an offer for HD-DVD, which hurt it quite a bit. so much that they had to cancel the HD-DVD conference at CES). Also, I noticed that when I went to the mall, it took stores qute some time to get used to HD-DVD.

^^all i wanted it for was to play either PES2008 or FIFA08 and the use of Blu-Ray.

I tested both games and Fifa EATS PES2008. I used to be an ISS fan but they have to step it up to compete with Fifa this time around!

Blu Ray is crazy - gotta love the quality

got it all including one game and extra controller for $415 from malaysia
