im thinking of asking for a Playstation 3.

I already have an XBOX 360, but it is down in the basement on my desk hooked up to a nice computer monitor.  Our families HD TV is upstairs in the family room and we do not have neither an HDDVD player or Bluray player.  Since the PS3 is a cheaper way to get a 1000 dollar bluray player, i was thinking of hooking up that to the Sony Bravia 40" upstairs.  That way i could get bluray movies like The Departed, Casino Royale, and other ones im interested in buying.  Plus i could get PS3 games which the xbox does not have such as Resistence and games soon to come like Metal Gear Solid 4.

Do you guys think this is a good and well planned idea?

Seems like a solid idea to me, go for it. Got my PS3 yesterday and I'm loving it, though I don't have any blu ray movies yet. Still I have downloaded some Blu Ray trailers and they look amazing.

 Bold: The PS3 has one of the cheapest BD players on the market, if you want a BD Player, than buy a stand alone BD player, my personal opinion would be get a Wii, its addictively fun and your family will also have a blast playing it, until the PS3 gets better games, its just not worth it right now.

Do it :D
Do NOT ask for a wii. Think of it this way, what can you save up faster $250 or $600? You can save up for a Wii if you want one.

There's really one factor that decides this and you mentioned the fact of getting games that won't come to the 360... That probably answers your question. Now, about actually asking for $600+...

You want the PS3 for it's Blu-ray capabilities, and you're thinking of maybe getting a game or two with it?
That doesn't sound like a good idea. When (or if) Blu-ray wins the format war, Blu-ray players will become ridiculously cheap - the PS3 will be the most expensive Blu-ray player on the market (it happened with DVD players, so it will happen again - if anything, Blu-ray cannot attain DVD-popularity without a price drop).
Oh, and you've already got a 360, so it's not like you won't have games to play - there's only two or three really good PS3 games worth playing right now.

Just wait, would be my suggestion.

I doubt you'd find ANY stand alone player that will out do what PS3 offers

60Gb of Extra Media, PS2 console, PS3 console, PS1 console, DVD Player.

get the PS3, if you want Ninty games get a GC

     I was in the EXACT same situation you are in a wek ago. I have a 360 and decided to get a PS3. I have no HDTV so I had to buy a whole bunch of crap to get my PS3 to play on my computer monitor for HD but since you already have an HDTV the process will be much easier. All you'll need is either AV component cables or an HDMI cable and you'll be seeing true blue 1080p high definition. I can't wait to actually use the blu ray player in my PS3. I haven't even tried it cause I'm waiting on some crap I ordered to come in. I bought a PS3 and am very happy with it. I recomend buying it with Resistance by far the most and maybe VF5 madden next.

Sounds likes a good idea. But the thing is, is watching movies in HD that big of a deal to you? Maybe you should rent some HD movies off Xbox Live Market Place and see if they're really worth it first.
