Now if only Sony would consider the same, I might actually buy a ps3 ;P
There's still not enough to catch my eye (only Lair). I have my eye set on about 10 different 360 games at the moment... which is good considering the only good 360 game I have is Oblivion!

Its too funny they are looking for ways to make it work , after the holiday season fiasco , they still thinking its about cost , it is about cost but the most important thing is that ps3 can not compare with xbox 360 a unit that one can buy for 400.00 ps3 is almost the same as ps2 . Sony acepted that the ps3 was bad and said they were making another version or model they were talking about the next holiday season but with a price tag of 1k lol they most be crazy after a flob like that lol

  I know that since Microsoft is making an updated 120gb 360, Sony wanted to "one-up" them by building a 200gb ps3.
  The only problem with this is because of 'seasonal games' and the high pressure of big names (Ubisoft, EA, Activision, etc.), these systems are never truly put to the test until they near their game life.
  I mean check out God of War on ps2. Games never looked that good or were as fun to play until the PS3 was well on its way. The 360 has yet to show us its full potential.
  Games such as Two Worlds and Assassin's Creed will hopefully change that. I'm still keeping my money on 360.
