Anyway, I plan on getting a PS3 but not anytime soon. If I get desperate enough to want to play next gen game I will be looking at a Wii or maybe a 360...Maybe

Hi..
You need to add some info on this to be a little more accurate..Like what exactly do you get if you buy the $650 PS3 or the $499 360?
Just to note a few advantages for the 360.
-PS3-Forced to buy a blue ray player whether you have an HD compatable TV or Not. In order to enjoy the player you need to buy movies(not sure if you can rent them yet) and have an HD TV.
-PS3-Doesn't come with component cables. You need to buy the PS3 brand component cables, I believe you can use the PS2 cable if you have one (not sure).
-PS3-Its a year newer and really there has nothing more to offer that the 360 doen't already do and do it better.
-PS3-Comparable Graphics to the 360, with less games to choose from.
-PS3-Its really not selling.. look in the stores they are everywhere, no its not cause Sony is amazing and shipped a billion consoles, no one wants them!!
-360-Doesnt force you to buy an HD DVD player. so those who don't want one or don't have an HD TV ready, don't need to spend the extra cash.
-360-If you do buy the HD-DVD add on, you get King Kong movie($30), the Universal remote($40), and King Kong video game ($20) so really your only paying $110 for the HD-DVD player. not a bad deal at all
-360-Right now the Holiday bundle which includes at least 2 games is cheaper than $499. You can get one for $450 or $399 if your lucky this boxing week.
-360-Had 2 major updates to improve its features and connectivity, added 1080p, the Marketplace is amazing, the camera is very cool, you can almost download every games demo for free.
-360-Game of the year (GEARS OF WAR)
Also, what if HD-DVD wins the format battle against blue ray. bye bye PS3, Sony had its run.
Good link to read if your thinking about buying a PS3
