The thing I like about the 360 over the PS3 is if Blue Ray is the one to take off and become the household HD player then as far as I'm aware there's nothing to stop Microsoft bringing out a blue ray player for the 360..... is there?

I don't see why not. I don't think Sony bought any exclusive rights when they licensed the Blu-Ray player, so it *should* be open for MS if there's a need for it.

I'll be getting a PS3 when Final Fantasy XIII is released, but until then I'll be trying my damnedest to avoid the thing (which isn't hard, since Heavenly Sword is the only game I've seen that even remotely interests me) since I'd very much like Sony to lose large amounts of money on it after the way they've been screwing over their customers lately.

Correct. Indeed, Microsoft have said as much

Final Fantasy XIII is the one game that may sway me to a PS3 but not for a good while yet as it seems a bit pricey for the games on offer. There's just not enough that stands out for me yet.

After a huge amount of peer pressure one of my mates finally buckled over the weekend and bought one. The silly boy got it slightly wrong and bought a PS3 rather than a 360. It managed 20 minutes before dying. We certainly didn't laugh at him

I popped into my old house on Sunday and found a cheque for £85 from MS. 360ftw

The PS3 died in 20 mins?! That's poor, didn't realise they could die so quickly!

To be fair that's not the norm. From what I read the reliability of the PS3 has so far been very good, much better than the 360, though it's relatively early days for it.
