I don't want to start vi vs emacs type discussion here but I checked.
PS3 games are few and there are hardly any used ones around.

This compares to the huge availability of used 360 games, plus the
cheaper HW aspect of things.

I bought mine on Craigslist for $200 incl 20Gig HD, RockBand with drums,
mic, and guitar. That was the reason I could not resist :)

Also I love car racing games, So I bought DIRT and ... man the gfx are
incredible. My last game in that regard was GT3 for the PS2 and back
then I thought this is as good as it gets.

Varol :)
Ps. My time dedicated to QDVDAuthor is currently suffering :)
