No one has pointed out that the PS3 plays BR discs. One of the big selling points to me for getting the PS3 was the fact that I have a big HDTV and wanted to see it in it's full glory and thus the built in BR player makes a lot of sense. I wouldn't buy the 40GB model, I saw the 60GB model getting blown out at Sam's Club for $460. Along with the 5 free movies, it's a good deal just as a BR player. If it's purely about the games, get the 360 but be prepared to shop to make sure you don't have the older h/w. However, I have seen reports of even the falcon chipset RROD. MS' quality control seems to be pretty shoddy, but at least they have the 3 year warranty.
 Good point, but this is supposed to be a game console first, right?  If the decision concerning buying a 360 or PS3 has anything to do with Hi-Def movie watching then the PS3 is really your ONLY choice as the 360 requires the purchase of additional hardware and price wise, at least at this point, the 360 premium plus an HDDVD is going to be more expensive than a 399 PS3 with blue ray built in.
