You bloody loser. Go get a proper games machine.

I honestly wouldn't have time to take advantage of both machines at present. I'm thinking the summer drought would be best; pick one up and buy all the Christmas titles cheap.

I take advantage of both. I play videos, LBP and after Xmas, Resistance 2 on my PS3. You'd play the rest on Xbox360 (or at least I would have thought).

It's hard to say it without coming off like a real 360 fanboy, but what I'm saying is if you had both you'd play whichever version of a multiformat game on the best performing machine and that's the Xbox360 the majority of the time.

Just look at all the social love you get here from us all playing Xbox together.

I have to say come April when my mobile contract is up and if Killzone 2 gets good reviews I might be persuaded to get one

The videos i have seen look good and I was originally going to get the PS3 because of that game but didn't realise it was so delayed

I'd like a PS3 at some point, won't be very soon though but maybe sometime in 2009.
Blu-rays are oddly appealing to me now but I blame Blockbuster for that

I wouldn't be getting it because of the BR discs but only because I'd get it on the right contract for me

I think it's Sony indoctrination at work You handle so many blu-rays you end up wanting one for some reason you can't place

I was really close to getting a PS3 a few months ago. I was stood in Game holding the box in my hand picking which games to get with it.

I know my multiplatform games so I know what's out for it but I just couldn't decide. In the end I picked Uncharted to play and MGS4 to sell. As you know I like my rpgs and there was nothing that really got me excited; if Uncharted, Resistance: FoM and Folklore were on the 360 I admit I'd probably get them but they aren't system sellers to me.

In the end I put it down, buying a system with a game to sell is daft and when I got home I saw Comet selling the Sony 40" 1080P LCD I wanted for the spare room with a free Sony BDP-300 and I jumped at it. (Got both for £699) In the end I got a 2nd 360 for the lounge but that's a different story.

WKC looks great and Valkyria Chronicles looks up my street but I'm still waiting for THE games that justify me having a £300 2nd console.

As for Blu-Ray; we have a movie only lovefilm account and I do like Blu-Ray but in all honesty it's not that big of a jump over a good source and upscale; though I've had Sky HD for years so maybe I was already used to it
