Dude if your selling your PS3 over the internet be very very careful,is it secure meaning that if this guy rips you of that youll get at least some of the money back.

Blockbuster Online just recently raised their prices ALOT! I switched to NetFlix because they have better deals. But dont rent moves and games from a blockbuster, they are way too pricey. Movies are almost $5.00 bucks each and games are like $8.00 dollars. Wowzers. Every time i try the rent a game at blockbuster they hassle me about updating my credit card although i updated my credit card the last time i was there.

I think the bundle sounds like a good deal. 20 weeks is a long time! Plus game and a movie and HDMI. That sounds worth it to me. I know only certain retailers sel the PS3's with free 5 Blu Ray movies. I think i remember EB Games being one of them, but that deal might have expired by now.

Sorry I hate netflix i'm not to lazy to wait 1 day for the mail to come. I said i live like 2ft (not really 2ft but can walk 5min to there) from blockbuster and walk there. I can rent like 12movies a day. With Netflix I can probably limit get like 30 movies a month. I usually rent like like 200 (i rent like 20movies a week) movies a month at blockbuster for like $29.99. I love living close by and get a good exercise without wastin gas from my car. I like monthly passes than separate individual rent of 4.99 for 2days. 200 movies X $5 you know what i mean.

Yeah if you have an unlimited trade in subscription then its totally worth it. I had that and i was at blockbuster every day renting movies. It was awesome! But after awhile i ran out of interesting movies to rent so i cancelled it.

Ya, i was so close getting scammed but this other guy wanted to me to send first and he had 2 accounts on 2 differ. sites and used different names and had the same address. I was about to ship it the next day and realize tht and changed my mind. So i might as well sell it. posted on craigslist in ca but some guy email me from ny and wants to buy it. I told him money order he said ok. He just emailed me he mailed it today so im planning gettin it on tuesday or wednesday.

PS3 better then Wii in gameplay? Ha for sure I own both because there are a variety of games on each which are not avalible on the other, but in terms of gameplay i'd have to give that to Wii, I have COD 4 on PC havent played through it yet, My little brother already has LOL!, I didn't see a Ps3 game win GOTY on Gamespot last year did I?, No it was Super Mario Galaxy which won it, and out of the top 10 nominations None of the games there were Ps3 only games some were on Ps3 but they were Multi PLatforms, Im not saying PS3 is boring or anything, but right now I will gurantee you that Wii does stay interesting for longer, and in terms of graphics Wii is way above the 6th Gen in terms of here not as much as Ps3 but some games on it look really nice too like SMG when you play it,
They are both great consoles its your choice, just dont go thinking you will get alot more out of a Ps3 then a wii you will get better graphics right now bit poorer games then the Wii has and a Blu Ray player but the rest of the features are just features you could do on a home computer 10 Years ago, like PLay Mp3's view pictures.
All IM waiting on the Ps3 is GT5( Cant Wait :D:D:D) and GTA IV.
Both are good you have to decide.

Thats true. The Wii did win all the awards. But how many Mario and Zelda games can they pump out before people start getting tired of the same old thing. I think PS3 will pull through in the long run. Sony has been a little stupid in the past with PS3 price tags and all that but they will catch up to the Wii in a year or two with better titles and more.

Well Mario has been around for 26 years, it has beaten so much competition, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro and now ratchet and clank the first two came and went and mario was still strong same with RC mario galaxy beat RC TOD.
