PS3

I was in Coconuts buying DVD's a coupla' day's ago and on the front door they had a flyer that said they were accepting deposits for the PS3. They had the release date at Nov. 17th. Price of $499.00 for the 20gig hd and $599.00 for the 60gig. This was with two games and one controller. Sounds like a great deal to me, especially considering that for a standalone BR player you're looking at over a grand.

I'll have to swing by Gamestop to see if they are preordering. It's expensive, but when you consider the BR, it's a deal.

Just as a general "by the way.."

As it turns out, a little examining of Sony's announcement press release reveals the $499 model will lack support for Memory Sticks, SD and Compact Flash cards, no built-in Wi-Fi and will surprisingly have the HDMI output removed (necessary for achieving the much bragged about 1080p screen resolution).

Information found here.

Seems like you should definitely go for the more expensive version..
