I'd like to see this same list 6-12 months down the road, hopefully alot of these inconsistencies can be squashed.
Cuz Sony has done a great job brainwashing their fanboys for that past upteen years.
However, I have no doubt that they'll have some great titles in about a year but I still wouldn't get one.

Cheap blu ray player?

Or, why DVD at all? Why not just download Hi-Def movies from LIVE or on your PC and stream them to your XBOX?

the PS3 still has no hardware scaling capability, that can't be fixed. however, maybe thats where the cell processor will finally shine... in its ability to perform on the fly video transcoding through software.

Force to pay extra for an unproven technology called Blu-Ray (360 gives you the option of buying an external HD-DVD, combined still cheaper)
But overall this launch appears to be a worse clusterfuck then the 360 launch. I'll wait until Madden 2008 comes out... and if they have their act together, I'll scoop one up then. If not, I'll stick with the 360 for HD gaming.

MI:3 looks great in HD even though the movie is just average.

PS3 claims it's first victim...
A teenager accused of robbing a student of two new Playstation 3s on the day the popular game consoles were introduced was shot to death by police sent to arrest him.

because of the thread that Yumchah posted on the new PSP's Metal Gear game... I now, have a PS3...
"huh?" did you say?... I read the thread yesterday, drove around trying to find it (PSP's new Metal Gear Solid game)... nobody had it... so I gave it one last try at Game Stop... while waiting to be helped.... a customer was at the counter a bit pissed cause they had sold his pre-ordered PS3... (he didn't pick it up within 48 hours, was out of town) I, totally, pretended like I wasn't paying attention... so then I hear the employee tells him... very discreetly, that they are "possibly" getting some... today... so today I got there just before they open... and waited til UPS arrived... and sure enough they got in 6 60g's and 2 20g's... but 2 of the 60's were for the reserved people, so I bought it... not sure yet if I should sell it or save until I get a 1080p TV, right now, at the moment there isn't a PS3 game that interest me...
