Default Neutrality found me..Not quite Vice-Versa

Heh well here I am now spread eagle under the fence. I was debating getting a PS3 for Blu ray mainly (already own a 360+add on) but i kept talking myself out of it. Then they discontinued the 20GB version (the one i wanted) and i said forget it altogether. Well fate it would seem intervened today. Walked into my local Gamestop to exchange a game i was having problems with and saw a Used PS3 for sale. I thought hey wonder how much it is. I asked the guy at the counter how much it was and he said "Well it appears its a 20GB system, so after the price cut its only $349" Needless to say (but i'll say it anyway) I couldn't swipe the card fast enough. Just finished watching pirates 2. Happy with my purchase.

Didn't think of that. 20 gig used models should be real cheap now. But do the 20 gig models even have hdmi?

Yes they do. The 20 GB version does not have WiFi or card readers.

hehe yeah i thought about that. If its a game i think im going to be playing online a lot, i'll probably go with a 360 version unless one version has better features or extra content. movie wise it will boil down to PQ and special features. i started with HD DVD so i think i will maintain a bit of a bias.
