So Bill, what made you decide to go out and get a ps3? Was it the ps2 backwardscompatibility that still is present in the 60Gb model? Or was it the multimedia features? Surely it can't be that you actually have found a killer-app or the PS3?
Well, I put my existing PS2 downstairs, where it will serve as a secondary machine (like the Xbox 1 in our bedroom), as well as a cardio machine (all the dance dance and eye toy stuff is on it), as well as a dual Gun Con 2 Time Crisis 3 system (which works perfectly, since it's a regular tube TV, unlike the projection it was original on).
It was a combination of price, the possibility of finangling my way into the 5 Blu Ray DVD offer through the back door (long shot, since it was bought through eBay), and the fact that I was concerned about the availability of the 60GB models going forward (the value may increase, since it's the SAME model and you can always put any hard drive in going forward if for some reason 60GB was "too small"), since that provides almost 100% backwards compatibility with PS2 and PS1 titles, with full upscaling (which makes playing on a widescreen TV so much more pleasant--something I give the Wii major negatives for since I constantly have to manually switch between widescreen and 4:3 depending upon what I'm playing).
My original plan was always to get a PS3 for this Christmas, but I backed off when I got my Wii last month for my birthday. Nevertheless, it was one of those purchases that just moved me at this time. It still counts as my main Christmas gift.
