Good decision man. I recomend you to get Gears1, 2, Mass effect and Left4Dead (or just wait for L4D2) ;)

Since you already had a ps3 , that's afine choice....... but how is that 360 going to play ps2 games. You could have just spent $99 and bought a lot of great cheap ps2 games (better than those 360 ones) and called it a day and got what you really desired - ps2 games !

I don't get it -- why even think about getting a PS3 when you already have one?

Considering that you already had a PS3, you made the right choise. I've never understood the whole buying a console more than once thing. I know many people do it though (PS3 slims and Xbox 360 Elites and such).

You already own a PS3 yet you still had to contemplate on whether or not you should get another one over getting a 360? :?

WTF? why the hell would you need to ask the SW community (of all the communities to ask) if you made the right choice with your purchace? You already have a working PS3 with (no doubt) a great library of exclusive games so, why not? Now you have both consoles so that makes you what I call an.. "Elite Console Gamer!" woot! woot! congrats! ;) & enjoy your brand new XBox 360!

Are you serious? If you had a ps3 already, its obvious you made a right decision. Honestly, who gets 2 ps3's (whats the point). somehow i dont believe you, but hey, if you're telling the truth and were actually planning to buy a second one...well, thats just weird.

yeah, it's a good deal// i seen it in a flyer/ i might just pick up another xbox(sold the old one i had)... the only down side is0 you still have to buy the 50/60 dollar live and a charger for the controller. ( but then i was think i could keep halo 3 for the online and sell the other 2 off to like ebgames).. still thinking of getting it

yeah to you it sounds like a good idea. But honestly just upgrading a hard drive would be the better choice. Lol to be honest the 360 bundle is as good as the ps3, however when you have a ps3. WHY consider buying another one, when you can have a variety of different games on another console. Sorry, i think you're not getting the logic behind what i said.

Great decision. I mean, PS3 and 360, great combo.

IlovemyAbs

Lol no they're not. They have like pretty much all the same games.

Wii60 or PSWii is a great combo.

IMO TC the elite bundle is a great deal but seeing as you have a PS3 its kind of pointless.

Why get a second ps3? I mean i can see the coolness of having two awesome consoles, but why? You made the right choice over 2nd Ps3 vs. 1st 360.

What the hell are you talking about, did you even read the thread? He said he has a 60 gb ps3 which has ps2 backwards compatibility support actually the best support out of any ps3. He was gonna buy a ps3 slim, but he found out the ps3 slim didnt have ps2 backwards compatibility support like his 60gb ps3 so he opted for the xbox360.

Can't comment on two of the games, but you got Halo 3 which is easily the best online fps this gen (I'm a PC gamer first and foremost, and that is still my opinion).

And you got a 360 before they lose HDMI, and you got a wireless adaptor as well. It's a pretty awesome deal definitely.

I'm not sure why you would question if it was the right decision though. The 60gb PS3 is the best one, so I would never consider changing to a slim one which has less features. It's purely aesthetics, and the slim PS3 doesn't even look that good. The older PS3's are nice and sleek.

thats true, but still a ps3 can do alot of crap besidesplay games and blurays. and you would just be putting an extra 50 on top of it to have those extra features.(but hey this just all my Op on the topic, i play my video games in the basement and i have a nice hd tv in the living room with just a crappy dvd player.) like i said in my other post that 360 bundle is a good deal, and i myself might look into buying it,

You saved $95 if the Hdmi calbe and wifi adapter is included. If not..only $20. I wouldn't make that deal for a 360.
