Yeah Phalanx, MS has been in negotiations to sell a blu-ray adapter (although I won't use it or any blu-ray player for a loooooong time). When you think about it though, the cost will likely be at least $200 + right? Not only that but it's an adapter while the PS3's is built into one slick little console. While you can debate which system is better just for games, if somebody's looking for a system to play blu-ray + games I don't think they'll have a better option than the PS3.

i have no desire to play blu-ray or HD for that matter...

i wont move in that direction until i'm forced to.

i was thinking about a used PS2 because i see the games used for dirt cheap everywhere (as i do the used x-box games) the gamecube games - even used - are always a little more expensive.

i'm interested in the 360 solely for halo 3 .. although i'm sure if we ended up getting one - my kid would find a million other games for it he would like.

I still buy and play PS2 games. Last one I got was for Christmas, it was Shadow of the Colossus, and it is and amazing game.

That's the game I'm currently playing...where are you up to? I think I'm up to #6.
Interesting title, borrowed from a friend - it's really like nothing I've played before, as close as I can come to describing it, is, it's a game full of zelda boss-esque fights against giant foes...? Great looking game, had an engine made specifically for it...
Also something to do with ICO, another game on my "to play" list.
Always into games that are unique...like fahrenheit (indigo prophecy) which I loved for its originality despite a few flaws.

There hasn't been a better time to buy a ps2, I don't think...there's an absolutely MASSIVE library of games (and games to come for the next year and a half - two years) most of which you're garaunteed not to have played before. Between the dirt cheap seconds/trade-ins, and the quickly falling in price new titles, the cheapness of the machine itself...etc, it's a pretty good buy right now IMHO.

i've gotta say - this is a gorgeous game - it's beyond me how they fit so much game play into 1.6 gig worth of space.
