    It's worth the investment Busy, we bought ours this weekend. Jon's just finished Resistance, I'm about 3/4 through it. What a fucking fun game.

    Oh, and I'd change The Italian Job to Black Rain.
    Yeah I was picking movies that would be great in HD. I don't think Blazing Saddles will be that great of a transfer. It's filmed kinda funny but I like the movie a whole lot.

    Black Rain does seem like that fits the bill though. Thanks.

    How much was your PS3?

    I keeping thinking there won't be another chance in the near future for less money. Also I heard the emotion engine for the hardware emulation of PS1/2 games will be taken out for taken software emulation.

    Actually what's ironic about what Skizo said is that if I modded my PS3, paid $500 for the BR burner and $10 for the media, it would run me less money than buying each game for $60 a pop.

    The burners will come down soon enough.

    i'd get it for ff13, mgs, and all that shit

    plus online is free. xbox live is stupid. u have to pay
    I got Xbox Live Vision for $50.

    I got the camera, UNO, and 12 months.

    That amounts to $4.17 a month which is not too bad.

    LittleBigPlanet looks great on the PSN though.

    I'm going to look into the extra hard drive.

    That's what I meant. You may spend a bit to get going, but in a year from now when you're looking at your huge game collection, it'll all be worth it.

    Plus, it's a new console and you'll be burning games for the next 5 years.

    Wait a few months. The BluRay burners are probably going down in price every week.

    Yeah I have no intention of buying burner any time soon.

    I can, however, get the PS3. I'll have some movies and a small amount of great games for awhile.

    I've seen the gameplay for MGS4 and my jaw dropped.

    Lair looks great as well. Both are only on the PS3.

    I would give it till September mate, by that time it should be full steam ahead...hopefully with regards to quality and quantity of good games + home and the price probably down a few quid as well, which you could use to purchase another game!

    you said you saw actuall ingame footage from MGS4? Thats cool, all I have seen are 20min long cut scenes..if anyone has any links to actuall gameplay footage that would pretty cool....

    Resistance: Fall Of Man
    Lair
    Heavenly Sword
    Folklore
    Ratchet & Clank
    Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
    Eight Days (the trailer looked nice but it was fake gameplay)
