Finally I got crazy enough and splashed out 410 Euros on a PS3, the 80GB version bundled with Big little planet and Killzone 2 from Gamestop. Boy what a surprise. Not only do I currently like it better than my XBox360 (could be just the freshness of the PS3) but its actually a very solid piece of technology.
First the integrated WiFi is something X360 really should have since the start, Second the controller being both Wireless and Wired (when charging via USB cable) is just awesome, big improvement over my X360 controller where its either a permanent USB controller or one that drains the AA as if there is no tomorrow (apparently there is a controller I once saw for the X360 which can be wired and wireless, but haven't seen it since).
Another thing I really liked about the PS3 is its OS, almost identical to the PSP menu system (in a good way), it also allows multi threading (folding while gaming) and is very easy to navigate.
But truth be told the above are thing that I only noticed after I opened up the box, what really got me buying this piece of amazement is even more amazing after seeing in person. One word: Wipeout HD (well technically 3 words)
One thing let me be absolutely clear, no other game (including GT5) is as sublime as this when it comes to pure high def-ness, everything is high def, even the sound is high def! The result? 10/10? Absolutely. There is no words I can use to describe the feeling of playing this on a 40+ inch HDTV, so I won't just make sure you do it before you die.
The PS3 also comes bundled with one of my favorite application: Folding@home, this will effectively mean my PS3 will never be turned off lets just hope it last longer than my third X360 in 2 years...
