Hey folks,

So im not really a fan boy of either console, im happy to say they are both good.

Anyway, I want to get a Blu-Ray player, I already have a DVD recorder/player and my first idea was to sell that, to get a standalone blu-ray player.

I've now thought, why not sell the 360? And get a PS3 and use it for a blu-ray player, keeping my dvd-recorder.

Im not especially keen on either consoles exclusive games, I really only play Pro Evo 2010 and Burnout paradise, and I would imagine they are both the same on either console.

So just a check list really, games aside, what do I really need with the PS3?

Im obviously going to get the slimline, 120gb model.

So I need 1 more wireless controller (to have 2 wireless controllers total)?

Blu Ray remote control I guess also?

Is that all that's generally needed to get me started?

Thanks :)
 
That sounds fair enough using a controller would be fine :) Do I need to buy a charger or anything? For my xbox I used a plug in one where you take the batteries off and charge them via the mains.
Do I need a similar PS3 one?
 
Also, I heard things like bluetooth is not as good as xbox wireless for things like GH / Rock Band? Is that the case or has any issue been sorted?

+ Is there a headset etc or do I buy one seperate?
 
Without being a fanboy in either way - I just preferred my 360, Im not into any of the exclusive games for either console, and for me the online element of the 360 is far far better, and that matters a lot to me, as does the controller being a lot better on the 360.

Granted the PS3 is good, just not for me...
 
Out of curiousity... I downloaded/bought a game from the PS3 Store... Is that locked to my account?

As in, if I sell my PS3 and wipe the name etc off it, will the game be gone forever? (unless someone uses my account?)
