Added to that it has Haze and MGS4 (Exclusives) out over the next month or so, which look superb. Add to that it will have the likes of Little Big Planet, FFXIII, Heavy Rain (Which looks more like a Blu-Ray movie than a game, graphics are stunning), GT5 amongst many others and you have a superb console with a wide variance of games.

If you're bothered about the lightness of the controller, just import a Dual Shock 3, which are heavier and have rumble along with sixaxis (Which I never use to be honest)

PSN is free if youu want to be playing online, and more features are due to be added in the summer (Such as in-game XMB).

The reason I traded my 360 in for a PS3 was because of the sheer amount of exclusives it has. The only ones of note due out in the next year or so on the 360 are Halo Wars, Gears of War 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction (Which will all probably come to PC anyway).

If you do get the PS3 howver there is on huge problem that awaits you..... dust!

Also the 360 sounds like a hoover, and the failure rates still haven't been sorted out and are still around 10%. (Mine broke twice).
