....on second thought...

Did some more thinking..FA, you'd get 5 free BluRay movies right now (some good, some not so good) just by getting the PS3. If you doubled it up as a BluRay player, it might be a more value-added unit for you.

BluRay is going to be around as long as the PS3 will be around, which is 4-5 more years at least. It's also currently outselling the HD-DVD camp which came out earlier and cheaper than BluRay. And my oh my, it will look stunning on that purty TV of yours.

Unless you or your hubby are going to be playing a lot of the latest video games or you think you'd take advantage of Microsoft's online catalogue on XBOX Live, the PS3 might be a more well rounded option.

The 360 isn't really that much cheaper, especially if you buy the wireless network adaptor (if you need it), though it has slightly better on-line functionality with all the neat stuff you can download, and it integrates very well with your Windows PC's. From my perspective, it offered more to me now than the PS3 did. If you're less than a casual gamer though, the BluRay aspect might be the deal breaker and probably shouldn't be overlooked.

I don't think you'd need the larger hard drive - just save stuff on your computer or wherever you normally save it. Do you even have any PS2 games? If not, you won't miss being able to play them...

Not an easy decision...but decide how much gaming you'd expect to get out of this thing beyond Guitar Hero and Dance Revolution, those are available on either format. Xbox has a massive advantage in that department, but if you don't care for Halo 3 etc then that point is moot.
