I have an HDTV. I haven't actually used it much for HD, I opted for a DVR instead of an HD receiver with my satellite provider.
I'm sorry I haven't been funny. I am not a comedian. I am Lenny Bruce.

360 content + live is beyond awesome. shadow complex, trials HD, marvel vs capcom 2, TMNT, etc. all released in the last few months

don't expect much better reliability from the ps3 as well. i had a launch version and it bricked after two months. sony gave me a bunch of **** but eventually replaced it. haven't had a game worth playing on it over my 360 since mgs4 :(

edit: i've returned an xbox360 as well - pain free, however...

What's wrong with buying new? You could get a nice used car for 20K.

ps3 is the best you can get
it's the fastest for sure
only downside is you can't output bitstream for hd audio


It looks like that's changing with the slim.
