    I'm on the verdge of cracking

    I am seriously considering trading in my 360 today for a ps3.
    1) Online is free
    2) I really just like sports games and on the ps3 I can play them all, including every single ps2 sports game.
    3) blue ray

    can someone help me reconsider or do u guys think i should go for the trade in

    Thanks

    Do whatever your heart desires!

    If you mainly play sports games... then it wouldn't be a bad idea personally.

      Trade it...trade it....

      I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

        This describes me perfectly. Maybe I should trade mine in as well.

          Why would you want strangers making such a huge decision for you? I have both a PS3 and a 360, and both are great systems.

          If you're thinking of doing it just for one game (The Show), I advise you wait. Play 2K8 and give it a shot first. If it's a dissapointment and you are just dying to play The Show, then you might want to go ahead and make the switch, as there is NO chance The Show will dissapoint.

            If online gaming is important to you I think you'd be making a mistake by getting rid of your 360. I had both and PS3 doesn't come close.

            As for blu-ray I bought a blu-ray stand alone player. The PS3 is a pretty good blu-ray player however and you won't be disappointed in that aspect.

            Good Luck.

              Re: I'm on the verdge of cracking

              Funny you posted this. I have been contemplating this as well since I have been w/out my 360 for over a week due to faulty workmanship by M$. I got the RROD on 1-30 and promptly called M$ for warranty repair. I recv'd their return box on 2-6 bu it did not have the return shipping label (imagine that). So when i called M$ they told me to wait either wait another week for another box w/ a return label or wait 24 hours for them to email the shipping label. I chose the latter and recv'd my shipping label yesterday. When i checked the tracking number on UPS.com it came up w/ estimated delivery time of 2-15. This would have my 360 making its way back to me sometime around the last week of February. A whole month w/out my system and nothing to play in its place other than my old PS2 and two year old games. Getting a PS3 seems like the right move especially considering Blu-Ray is going to win the DVD battle.

                Don't count on that 'last week of February' prediction. When my first 360 went down, it was at the Microsoft repair center for nearly 2 months. I kept calling and calling and eventually they told me something got screwed up with my order and they apologized. So they sent me a brand new 360, with 2 controllers and 3 games plus a free year of XBL. So I kind of made out like a bandit, but I had to do a lot of complaining on the phone to get all that stuff!

                  I have a friend who got the RROD and sent his 360 back to M$ but went out and bought a PS3 and sold his 360 when it came back. He loves it. Personally, I don't really have an allegience to either company. I don't think I'd trade systems completely, but if The Show is as good as advertised and MLB 2k8 is not, then I will likely just go get a ps3. I love sports games over all other titles, and the baseball is far and away my favorite sport.

                    Keep in mind that Prize Fighter isn't on the PS3 yet. I am kinda in the same boat, but I already have so many 360 games I can't justify buying a PS3.
