Well, after browsing countless websites and looking round endless stores, it seems that the PS3 is the way to go.

It's £50 more than Xbox, and because of my laptops questionable blu-ray, I dcided I needed a decent player, so taking that into consideration, it seems the PS3 is the best way to go.

Also, on purely the gaming side, it's 50/50 so far on the gaming side of things....but, looks like PS3 is actually starting to utilise the power in it's little black box, so I think my mind is made up

Cheers guys....

Now all that's left is to update my TV...

...so

LCD or Plasma....which is better?? ;)

I can get the Sony 40W5500 at a discount price of £650....
