Mine packed in around 14 months after I bought it, and yes to be fair some of the guys I game with are never off the thing. Still you and your chums are lucky.

Maybe it's because I'm in the U.K. but I've yet to speak to anyone, at all, who gives a toss about blu ray. I was in a dvd and music store yesterday and there was one small stand "devoted" to the wonders of blue ray, and the film which was getting he most hype? Wall-E, awesome indeed.

And please enlighten me on all the amazing games on the ps3, maybe I'm missing them when I walk around games stores, maybe they hide them or you need a secret handshake to get access to them, either way, I'm still not spunking a weeks wage on a ps3 and a few games.

Hey man, it's not a black or white issue, it's a zombie killing issue, no one ever sticks up for these much miss understood members of our society, or have I been playing games too much?

Who really cares about BLURAY? I play my 360 on an HD tv with a 20 quid hdmi cable and it looks amazing, I think LIVE is well worth the money, the game demos, arcade game have some decent choices and now the Movie catalogue is getting decent there is always a decent film to download. Okay it has problems and yes the xbox makes a racket and I don't know anyone with a 360 who has not had to either replace it or send it off for repair, that said all of them do replace it, rather than buying a ps3.

Anyway, too many people harp on about graphics these days, it's about gameplay and the ps3 just does not have the games, this may change of course, but right now the ps3 could be 200 and I still would'nt buy the thing.

If Halo ODST acutally comes out this year then I'll be surprised, Halo Wars could be awesome and Resident Evil 5 should be a hit. Okay so it's only 3 games I'm looking forward too but I still have to get GOW2 and I'm hoping for another Call of Duty, still I'd rather have a bit of a dry year than buy a ps3 which in my humble opinion is still far too expensive, only tempts me due to Little Big Planet and is a total swamp donkey to look at, oh and it's controllers are awful.
