One of these days, I'll have to check out the x box 360. Do they still have the "death screens"? The games look fun, but it also cost more to get online. Both of these systems have their extra costs, but I do like that Blue ray option the PS3 offers.
Buuut, if I get this, then I have to get the tv I want, which also means I need to get the wireless surround system for it. Plus, I need to finish working on the room I want to put it in. Of course I don't need all of that, but I want to get the best gaming experience, and entertainment available for the budget.
Needless to say, I'll have to wait until I get that room together. By then, the PS slim will be readily available and backwards compatible.
