Hrm (to PS3 or not to PS3)

So, while my 360s out of action I’m considering a PS3.  I know I’ll get one eventually, and the $100 price drop on the superior 60GB model is kind of a good deal, especially when you consider the five free Blu-Ray DVDs.
I call it the superior model because they are getting rid of the PS2 [...]
