How many of you really own a PS3?

What impresses you about the PS3 compared to the 360? As far as gaming is concerned, the 360 is really better hardware (more fill rate, much more general purpose CPU power, more flexible memory architecture).

Additionally, BD players have dropped significantly in price since the PS3 launched 6 months ago, and will further drop significantly in price within the next 6 months. Six months from now the PS3 will no longer be an average priced BD player but rather a very expensive BD player.

For example, standalone BD players were $1000 when the PS3 launched. They're $469 for a good one now. By the end of the year they will be $299 or cheaper.

deg you wasnt joking around.. i checked online and i could find a blu ray player for 450... thats a hell of a price drop since last november.. i predict a ps3 price drop this fall... even if its only 50 dollars... they have to at least make it compete with other blu ray players. prices....

Dropping $50 wouldn't compete with standalone players right now.  $50 down would put the PS3 at $550 with the BD players at $450 right now.  Further, by  Christmas BD players will likely be $299 or cheaper, as I've said.  You can already get HD-DVD players are already well under $299.

DVD upscaling to 1080p is a feature available on cheap DVD players (as well as BD and HD-DVD players), as well as the Xbox 360.  It's not a real feature -- especially if you're like me and you have a TV with a scaler comperable to scaling done in the best upscaling DVD players (fixed pixel TVs *have* to scale to their native resolution).
