Time to buy a PS3?

[Flibster]

Had a PS3 over the weekend on loan froma mate trying to convert me.

As my launchday 360 is sat in it's box in the cupboard I thought it may be worth a look.

WRONG!

Finish is tacky, size is too big, many of the games are simply dreadful *although the same could be said about the 360 - but there are many more great games on the 360* Controller is still uncomfortable and is also far too light - but that may be solved by the reintroduction of rumble

It's just not impressive at all. Other than in size.

Bluray is alright - but as Sony is effectively in charge of it - I don't hold out much hope for the format. They've already changed the specification once since release - rendering some players useless - and the new protection causes some players to reject disks... Nicely done.

HD-DVD - none of those issues. Got the 360's HD-DVD drive sat inside my PC nicely - currently playing Batman Begins in 1920x1080 on a 24" CRT

Buy a Wii instead. Much more fun. Get in quick though, there's going to be another shortage this christmas.

Xbox 360, Xbox, Nintendo Wii, Gamecube, Nintendo DS Lite, Gameboy Advance, Gameboy Colour, Gameboy, SNES, NES, Megadrive, SegaCD, 32X, Master system, Playstation and Playstation 2 owner....

The Wii is the only one set up at the moment.
