Well, not quite. That's somewhat disingenius*, what with us owning both, like Zio currently does, rather than only one.
No. The twatty chavs might also have a 360 and a Wii, for all we know (sales would say as much, heh). I was listing the people who do have a PS3, no more than that. Besides, we should already know that Zio used to have a 360 - he's the excellently named Skullbugger on Live! So nyeh
, goodly sir.

Well... BluRay is quite a nice way of justifying the HDTV I bought two years ago...
1) So is HD-DVD.
2) So are GAMES.
3) So, two years ago you bought an outrageous consumer item and even now, can't justify it? I can see why you want only your PS3
4) You say you are broke - you would get more money for selling the PS3 than the 360. And buying 'stuff' for the 360 is cheaper, even when it's the same damn game sometimes. If you keep the PS3 you are making less money now, and spending more money in the future.

online is a step back from Xbox Live, but then it's also totally free to use, so it's all swings and roundabouts in a way.
It's free to use, but why would you use it? You've said yourself that you don't really bother with games anymore, so it's not going to be for that. Leaving what? Being able to browse the internet from your living room?
Sir, so far I can see only these reasons for your keeping your PS3 and selling the 360:
1) It is a slightly better DVD player.
2) It is a lightweight web browser.
3) In the future when you have money again, you would be able to watch BluRays on it. And, hopefully, the standalone BluRay players won't have - oh, for example - dropped in price in the way that technology always, always does, leaving you with an actually somewhat slow (x1 remember) BluRay player that isn't as good as your mates' new £100 player.
4) You want Wipeout, GT5, Little Big Planet and that Ferrari game.
If you honestly believe that all of that is >>>> having a 360, where you can *NOW* watch hi-def goodness on the cheap, play a far wider ranger of games potentially against more players (whether Bezzies or not), watch DVDs slightly less well (but still y'know, fine), and play lots of games that whilst not Wipeout or Little Big Planet, are still pretty gosh darn good too - then well, that's your decision and all that. But I join the throng in agreeing that you've gone mental, sir
... Given that none of the above games have been released yet, and so may still yet prove to be shite - wouldn't it be awful if you sold your 360, clinging devotedly to your in-lounge web browser and hopes of a shiny Little Big Planet future - and they turned out to be soul-crushingly rubbish?
...You used to work at Gamestation. When - did you get to see how the Gamecube's shelf space was slowly usurped by other formats, as it lost the war, until finally it was just a comparatively teensy space for devotees? Have you been into Gamestation
recently?
