Games: doesn't really matter, some racing, some first person shooters, football, etc... Not really into gaming much anymore..I've got battlefield 2 on the computer and play it a bit... Like I've said its primarily for the DVD. And I want a good DVD player. As you said blu ray players are a nice chunk of money so I figured I'd double up and get a player/gaming system. I guess the thing I've seen with the 360 is the xbox live. you can watch a large selection of HD movies for free. I thought that was pretty cool and as of now ps3 doesn't have that. But I understand they might have it soon however.
