and this is the bundle I'll probably look at....

I think that this price drop will get me into a PS3... I've tried playing the xbox, and I just can't deal with that controller... Seriously.. I sat down for a weekend and tried, but to no avail. My brain is too symetrical and that controller isn't

that and the PS3 doesn't negate my 80+ library of ps2 games or PS1 games either (until a game that can outdo colony wars or silpheed for fun factor that is).

My biggest problem with the xbox 360 are actually the games... There's one or two FPSes out there that I like for it, but I can't keep running out and buying the latest and greatest FPS for the life of the machine... it just won't cut it! (ok.. gross generalization from the guy who's still playing Timesplitters 1)

ok.. they also have forza.... but whatever -- it's always been a simulator that handled like an arcade game.. it always felt like the cars turned on their centers, not by the track of the front wheels.

Anyhoo.. I'm glad the PS3 is coming down in price.. they've done a lot of things right with it. Things that I've lauded the xbox for (like every machine having a hdd and live) are heading to the PS3.. and live marketplace is crippled for canadians, so why would I pay MS for that? Not ot mention you're paying to play online and I've never played online so much that I've been willing to pay extra for the privelege.

I guess each machine has it's pluses and minuses...and people pick and choose what they like/hate about them.. but I don't think we can fault the PS3 for the hardware -- maybe the price, but that's coming down... and until that time, I can be patient.

And besides, it's summer.. we're supposed to be outside enjoying the weather, not playing games.

I'm also not a big fan of the Wii (call me fussy)... but I may pick one up for my mom... it would be a good/healthy distraction for her.
