Lots of people are just like me. Brought a PS3 Slim last week when it came down to $299. I own a Xbox 360 as well. I simply refused to give Sony $599, $499 or $399 for the unit. I have been extremely happy with by 360 for over 24 months (no RRD) and will continue to use it. Now that I have the PS3 it I will buy games for it and use it as my Blue Ray player. Sony will make up some ground with the lower price. The price has been the deciding factor for most people. Although people don't want to admit it, but from a graphic and gaming stand point both these units are on equal footing. All the fan boy stuff aside, the only plus to the PS3 is the blue ray player. Thats it. The minus to the PS3 is development. Otherwise they are equal.
