I know, I know. It's not yet clear whether blu-ray will become the standard or if it will become another betamax. Sony is a lot bigger in the market now and I think the PS3 will be the difference in making blu-ray the next standard.

If it goes blue-ray then that will be in my house. I've already been pricing HD dvd players

I think i will be going for the ps3 then. But I will be one of those waiting for a while. I can't afford to shell out $600. I'll probably be waiting for a year or so. Oh well, God of War 2 will be for the ps2 still

Trust me, Forza is a better game. Also, is it worth $600 for one game? And GT4 will be GT3 with updated graphics, and I'm not kidding...

That whole "It's just going to be updated graphics" fact goes against both systems. Right now, all the games that are out, and will be out, for PS3 and Xbox360 will basically be the same games, but with better graphics. All of them.

There in lies why the Wii will kick ****... but I digress
