thoughts?...

I dont see why everyone thinks the PS3 is so expensive compared to the 360.  It is only $100 more then the 360

(At least my) Gamestop will give  you that $100 towards a PS3 if you trade in your old PS2,  a memory card and controller. So it is now possible at (at least my) Gamestop to get a 20GB PS3 for the same price as the Xbox 360

360  (20 GB): $400
PS3 (20 GB): $400 after trade in at gamestop

March seems so far away...this is a terrible gaming drought,  for both PS2 and PS3

Yeah right nobody wants the 20gig ps3. Come on now don\'t campare core ps3 to permium 360. When there are quality games to support the huge price it will sell. Like MM said no games warrant such a price. I don\'t thnk games will warrant the price for a while

I would like to know what the Premium 360 has that the PS3 core doesnt hardware wise,  but if you insist

$400 360 premium
$500 PS3 premium after trade in

$100 more and you get next gen blu-ray, 40 more GBs, built in WIFI,  and FREE online play

How much does it cost to upgrade the premium 360 to the level of the $100 more premium PS3?

$200 HD-DVD drive
$40 40 GBS
$100 WIFI
$50 XBOX Live

= $390 To upgrade to PS3 premium level

So,  

PS3 Premium $500
XBOX 360 (with everything PS3 Hardware has) $790

But you are right,  there are no quality games right now and most people will avoid one until the good games start to roll in beginning in March

I am just avoiding one ATM cause I am stuck with a 27\'\' CTR. With the baby comming out in afew weeks, my project for a new HDTV will be delayed again for another year.

Well I have nothing to trade in so the system is still a $600 price tag for me.  I just got a nice tax check and was pondering getting one but choked while I was in gamestop and just decided I would wait.
