@eagleeyes I didn't even consider Microsoft as an option because
a) It doesn't have Blu-ray
b) You have to pay for every god damn thing you do online.
c) I already have an HD capable PC and if I wanted to download movies I have twice the hard-drive space (Plus endless expansion) of a 360 and I am not cornholed into buying it from the Live marketplace (Read: I can get movies cheaper).
d) IMHO all you need this gen to play every game that comes out that is worth and watch every movie that comes out in HD. All you need is a Wii a PS3 and a kick ass PC.

I can easily turn this around the other way

I didnt even consider Sony as an option because

a) Blu-Rays cost £20 each in the UK, and I still have a DVD collection, upscale is just fine and will be fine for years to come. Movies that come out now will still come out in DVD for years to come.

b) At the time of writing, I have to pay £110 more for a PS3 bundle than a 360 bundle and a further £25 for an extra controller, that easily covers 3 years Xbox Live and a wireless dongle.

c) I also already have an HD capable PC and have 2TB in hard-drive space. I am not cornholed into buying a £20 Blu-Ray everytime I want to watch a movie, I pay £3 for a rental of a HD movie which I will only want to watch once anyway. I can always buy the DVD if I really wanted it in my collection.

d) IMHO the only way you can play every game worth playing now (out since 2007) is if you own a 360 and Wii. If I didnt I wouldnt have played Gears, Bioshock, Portal, Lost Odyssey, Halo 3, Mass Effect all on launch day. If I had a PS3, the most I would have played is Resistance, Uncharted, NG Sigma maybe a bit of Warhawk but thats it. Let me not even get started with other multiplayer multiplatform games, just look at VGChartz software sales for your evidence.

e) $20-$30 for GTA4:Ep1. Yea thats way expensive compared to keeping a high spec PC. Heck, this is even less cost that a Blu-Ray. Didnt you say this was your favourite game as well? Too bad you arent getting the full version.

f) Look you already made your purchase and I wont comment again. Im NOT going to say you made the wrong purchase. Its just you are pretty strong in dismissing 360, when clearly you know that it is the console of choice for 34% of the world market and there are clear reasons since you are a GTA4 fan. Look I dont know why im commenting, I guess im in a bad mood and you sound condescending. MS certainly have their faults, but its not a reason to take it out on their console.

 But isn't that the reason you don't buy from a company, because you don't like them.
