I mean....i have a 360...that's why i am posting...i am experiencing a repair right now that's angering me a little bit, but i was getting to thinking....a ps3 wouldn't be bad to have...kinda like a just in case console ya know? Just in case my 360 breaks i have a backup console....wouldn't that be rad

But I am a middle class child in a middle class family who gets average grades so.....I don't know if I should ask for it for Xmas next year. The thing is though...the only thing we do FINANCIALLY is go to the movies and I pick up 360 games i dont really need....so....maybe a ps3 would be a good move....i mean

I'm guaranteed to be getting all of the high profile games like bioshock and mass effect and halo 3 and gta IV when they come out so....maybe instead of asking for games i dont need like i did this year for xmas...i asked for nba 2k7, sc da, halo 1, dead rising, fear (i traded), and other games like that i'll just ask for a Playstation 3 with Resistance. Wouldn't be bad for my room.

But you think Santa/Parents whoever will go for it on Xmas?

If I was going to get another console, it would be a Wii. Don't get me wrong, the PS3 looks wicked, but people keep telling me that the Wii is great to have if you own a 360. But ultimately it's your choice.

You're willing to pay over £400 just for a "kinda like a just in case console ya know"? Personally I wouldn't bother, especially while they're so expensive... But why should you trust advice from a Stranger you've never met? You need to make your own mind up.

"christmas is how many months away?"

 Thats a good thing. By that time, there will be a lot of good games out on the PS3 to make it worth it. And its best to butter up the parents and or santa early if you expect them to cough up that $600+tax.

Mod your xbox 360 controller and make it a "Wi60".

no no i mean like A BACKUP SYSTEM....

I'd be playing it every now and then okay.....just i'd be playing it a lot more when my 360 breaks, which it will....it always breaks (actually lying to myself; first time it broke in 1 n a half years of playing at least 5 hours a day) itd be a pretty nice backup system though....

i'd go with the PS3 as a PS3 user, I was just checking in to see a few topics about the Elite (i'll be pickin one of those up to join the 360 community) its got a lot of good games, at least 25-30 1st party exclusives and a bunch of 2nd party. And since it has free online, its not like you would be paying every month to let it sit there if your on "live" also, by then resistance should be a greatest hit and around 25 bucks (I dont know what platinum/greatest hits go for yet) So IMHO yeah go for it.

Definatley ask for the PS3. It is on par with the 360, and caters to the same type of gamer. I was all about this "Wii60" thing until I actually bought the Wii and quickly realized what a joke it is. Crappy games, quirky controls that are kinda hit and miss, and I swear I'm gonna puke if someone calls this goofy thing "next-gen" one more time. It's Gamecube 2 with a goofy controller. The young children and those in the retirement home can have it, I'll stick with my 360 and PS3.
