You know, you could sell your PS3 so you can buy a 360. Considering you're not even interested in MGS4, which is, personally, the only reason I'd even look at the PS3, I'm not quite sure why you even have a PS3.
DMC4 is on the 360, and Ninja Gaiden 2 is coming as well, which are both excellent alternatives to God of War 3 (which isn't even being developed by it's original studio, which is always a sign you should be concerned.)

Actually, Microsoft doesn't give a shit at all about either side winning, they have a vested interest in both sides failing. Additionally, they've said on at least three separate occasions that they'll release a BR addon if BR wins the format war (which it clearly is).
And Bluray isn't a 'revolution'. It's a DRM laden piece of shit just like HDDVD which isn't worth consumers' time. You really should quit worshiping this shit. Go join Scientology if you want something to worship.

WTF? I don't worship Blu-ray. Frankly I don't give a shit about either. I'm just saying it looks like Blu-ray's going to take over sooner or later.

It's the language you used that gave me the impression. Calling Bluray's market dominance a 'revolution' is a massive exaggeration.
DVD was a revolution, Bluray is a minor capacity upgrade with an extra side of DRM.

Meh. I think in 5 years it'll be more of a standard. Also, it's a little bit more than a "minor" capacity upgrade. (No sarcasm intended.)

And that makes it a revolution, how?

It's hardly as great as that of those holographic disks, though.

Is that your way of saying, 'thanks RV for bringing me back to reality before I replace Apple with Sony."?

SELL IT!!!!!
I just got the stupid thing working online and am for the first time(apart from my Blu-Ray discs) starting to enjoy it. I will no doubt buy MGS4 (im a sucker for hype) and Ninja Gaiden 2 better be easier than the first one which was so hard you chew your own face off.
And the reason i bought a PS3 is because ive bought all the other sony consoles and none of them ever died on me. Unless the next Legacy of Kain (dont knock it) game is out only the xbox 360 il stick with my giant black box.

I'd rather have a console I'll actually play which might break than one that I'll never touch that wont.

Devil may cry 4 on Monday and farting about online. Got haze to look forward too and Killzone 2 (I liked the orignal before you say anything and i dont compare it to halo nor do i care about doctored screenshots) but to be honest i bought one for its blu-ray player, GOW 3 and online guff.
You must be rich if you can risk a next gen console breaking

The warranty still hasn't expired. If it does break, all I do is send it off and after a few weeks they'll give me a new one.

Give what I've said some consideration, though. Most of the time I don't argue unless I think something is of some importance, and I really don't think Sony deserve your support this time around. Think about it; if they fail this time, then the PS4 will probably be something new and exciting. If they win this round, we'll just get more of the same.

I don't have much to say on the matter, but what you said there is very well put.
