It was a tough choice but now that I have the PS3 hooked up I dont regret it. There may not be as many games out but they are comming and the quality of this machine is way better than the 360. I had my last RROD and figured I should trade up before MS lowers the price and I get less trade in value.

Picked up Rachet and clank and Uncharted. Tried em both and the seem great so far. Graphic wise they are both great but nothing I have not seen on the 360. But everything I have been reading about Metal Gear blowing Gears out of the water and lets face it Forza graphics were BAD and Gran Turismo's are great.

Seemed like the right choice. If anyone is thinking about it I say do it before MS drops they price and you get less trade in.

You should never trade in a console. You got ripped off dude. You could have repaired the 360 for free and saved a bit more for a PS3. oh well.

I considered it at one point but after spending so much money in games/controllers for the 360, it would just be a waste. Just saving up money for the 80gig MGS bundle coming in June. Glad your happy with your decision though!

Who cares how much he got for his 360. It got the RROD, so it's worth a pile of monkey crap.

You made a good decision. Most of the AAA's coming out soon are multiplat anyways, so no loss.

What? And miss out on Ninja Gaiden 2, Gears of War 2, Fable 2, Halo Wars, Splinter Cell 5, Too Human, Banjo Three, etc?

I mean, i know you will enjoy Resistance 2, Little Big Planet, MGS4, and some others....but why on Earth would you want to miss out on the above ?

Hmm, I think I'd rather have both and not miss out on any games. But that's just me, never cried about my Playstation and Playstation 2 breaking on me, repeatedly.

If it's not your main console there's nothing negative that you would have to put up with. You buy and play exclusives, it doesn't get alot of strain so it more then likely wouldn't have any problems. If it were to break, you send it in and still have other platforms to use for the two weeks it takes for repair.

I can see why you did. It's fustrating spending that much money on a console you KNOW is going to break on you. I'd still rather just have both though. Nothing will stop me from playing Ninja Gaiden 2, not even the prod issue microsoft is haveing.:)

Enjoy your PS3

9. Blog threads. You generally won't actually be moderated for these but your thread will be locked. Common examples of blog threads that will be locked here are "My 360 just got the RROD and now I want to tell the whole world about it", "I just traded my 360 for a PS3", or "I just bought a Wii." Fascinating as these are, they're best suited for your blog.

Good on u, as for me I own all 3 consoles but was kind of dissappointed with my xbox 360 because I play my consoles using a wireless router and when I found out I had to buy a seperate peace for my xbox 360 to play online wirelessly I was kind of dissappointed because my cousin said it was $99 for it and I had to get a gold membership for xbox live so I said the hell wit that, I already spent $400 on my xbox 360 along with halo 3 so I havent been online with it but played the campaign for halo 3 which was pretty good, but im still dissappointed that I have to spend more just to go online with my xbox 360 which I can go on free with my wii and ps3 for free.

awesome dude. hows uncharted?

Uncharted was amazing, if u havent plated that game it is well worth the money. I mean yes the game may be short but it has alot of replay value and playing it on harder difficulty's is a challenge but once u have conquered them, u will feel like u have achiieved alot in this game. Awesomeness mechanisms using the gears cover system and adding the weapons and close combat system along to go with some platofrming elements. The game is truelly an amazing expirience and hopefully they make a sequal.

I have far too much invested into the system and there are far too many titles coming that I want for me to ever consider selling my 360. But to each his own.

I've thought about it many times, but i don't think i will. I always think back and realize the 360 has my taste of games. PS2 is great but i prefer the 360, the PS3 is awesome value and the games going for it are great but i still prefer the 360. I like WRPGS, FPS and sport games. The 360 has covered that for me. The exclusives for the PS3 this year are going to be good, but i only really like SOCOM and Resistance

Exactly and posting in a thread like this builds up their milk production, which leads to mandatory milkings.

Well, my advice to tide you over till MGS would be CoD4, Burnout Paradise, DMC4 and UT3 :D
