It’s a valid question. I’m thinking about getting a console/media extender. The problems are that 1. I’ve seen the xbox 360 in action, and while the list of games is good, the level of ambient noise does not make me feel like a happy camper (mind you I run from a laptop most of the time).
On the other hand, the lack of games for the ps3 makes it a bit of a lame duck. I mean really, Sony, what can you be thinking by removing the entire backwards compatibility from the latest variants of the 40gb model (I don’t want to check the other models). I can still play ps1 compatible titles on the ps2. Microsoft have the right idea on this – support it until you have the rolling mass of next-gen titles to allow you to stop adding old games to the list (damned barbie horse adventures).
I don’t want a crippled 20gb model of the 360, which leaves the elite. Well, it’s black. So at least it matches the rest of the furniture 🙂
I just don’t see the value of the elite; really I don’t. Sony allow you to replace the HDD with something off the shelf, which is really nice, considering I have several large capacity ATA and SATA laptop hard drives.

Whatever u get, pay in cash. But demand either money off or extra goodies like more controllers or the bigger HD models. If they refuse tell them some other shop offered u etc. etc. and walk away. They’ll cave.
