Playstation 3 PS3 - Wow!

After looking for a Wii for almost 3 weeks and seeing them all go for around $400 on ebay I said to myself "Hey ! lets see what the price of a PS3 is? Cause the Wii is like $400!". So I went on ebay to check them out and low and behold they were new ones for like $900 OUCHY I thought. Then I thought HEY! used maybe??.... To this end I found a few auctions that said used PS3, So I watched a few and thought I'll bid on a 20GB setup that has that extra controller. So thinking that it's $500 new + $50 for the extra controller I bid $550. After a day the auction was over and I'd won the PS3 for $540. That is cheaper then going out and buying one at best buy new after tax! The shipping was a low $15, so in total I spent $555.00 on an almost new PS3 with 2 controllers. .....
I cant tell you how awsome these things are. I have an xbox360 and thought well there very close to the same thing. Boy was I wrong. The Grand Turismo HD (free download by the way) blows the crap out of my 360. To top all this off the system has totaly free online play! No more of this Xboxlive payments for me. I loved Gears of War on 360 but the Fall of man on PS3 has such a smooth frame rate that it is just that much better in the visual department. GoW has a better plot and nicer textures but RFOM just out shines it on the raw power of the PS3. I am not a fan boy for either system! I loved my xbox1 it was by far a better system then ps2 but didnt have the games that ps2 had. I can see the PS3 killing everything in the next year.
Here is something I couldnt belive. They are already setting the design of the PS4! they say that it's going to be a 2010 release but other than that nothing is said about what it may be. I cant belive they announced it as work in progress already ! I'll start saving now to get what must be a $1000+ system in 2010 lol. (I think it will get pushed back a few years if the PS3 is selling games well and working well over all).
Well cya's all later!!-----PS. Iam playing the PS3 on the Projector on a 10 foot screen and it is awsome beyond words at that size!
