OK so...I have an extra 240 lying around and I was either going to upgrade my 360 to the MW2 Bundle or get a Ps3 Slim. I only really want to play Uncharted and MAYBE GoW3 down the line. I'm just not sure if I really want to dish out the cash for a new console when i play my 360 religiously. Any input?

Another 'Thinking of Buying a Ps3" Thread - Input needed
" Well you sound like you have already made your decision, since you say you play your 360 religiously. As a former owner of both systems, I found plenty of reasons to play both of them. Why not get the ps3? If you can spare the cash. "I'm not against the Ps3, I just hear so much about Uncharted 2 that I wonder if buying the system just for that game would be financially sound. Does anyone think its that good?
Personally I recommend a PS3. I got a 360 at launch and picked up a PS3 somewhat after launch and the PS3 has grown on me over time. It typically consumes about half my play time these days.
I also have a backup 360, unless you want something like that, I don't think getting just the MW2 bundle is worth it. Are you still on a 20GB HDD or what?
Buy the MW2 360 and sell your current 360, you will spend a lot less that way.
If you are only interested in Uncharted 2 than a console purchase isnt worth it IMO.
My opinion, if you're either going to buy a new 360 or PS3, go ahead and get the PS3. That way you get both. Personally, I bought both at launch and loved my 360 to death. However, now the 360 is in the bedroom and PS3 owns the living room. Most of my Gamefly rentals end up on the PS3. I'm not a fanboy of either, both have their faults, but the PS3 won the living room due to Blue-ray and a respectable array of games that are available for both and some that are PS3 only. I also bought a 360 version of GTA4, rented a PS3 version, and found the PS3 version highly superior (I know, dumb argument what with the exclusive 360 content).
What I'm trying to say is that if your choice is having both or just an updated Xbox, I'd take both.
Alternatively, buy a Wii and find out why everyone hates it so much.
" So, why exactly do you need another 360, if you already have one? Games aren't going to be any better on a MW2 branded 360... "I LOVE MW. I still play the first one to this day a whole lot. I also wanted the bigger hard drive.
i would go with the ps3 and just customize my own 360 with MW2 stuff (if i hadnt already invader zimed out my 360 its so sexy now). and the ps3 has much more than demon souls and uncharted two games i find to be awesome as hell.
My plan was to sell my 360 and put it towards my new Bundle.
But like I said, Uncharted 2 is tempting...
I had a 360 since launch, and played that religiously. But after getting my PS3 i have moved most of my gaming over there.
I don't have a HDTV so I guess that makes a little difference. I won't be able to really enjoy blu-ray.
Really the only games I would die to play are Uncharted and ModNation.
" PS3 is the way to go. A religion change is forthcoming. "If there's one thing I like, it's comparing gaming to religion.
" @LiquidPrince said:I'm tired of threads like these man, if you want a ps3 you are an adult. Buy it. Its your money. If you can't decide flip a coin and do whatever it tells you."

Hm, well I bought one and grew bored with it after the first month.
Once you play the exclusives it has to offer I suppose it's nothing more than a DVD player.
That's just my opinion though.
" @torus said:If you get a PS3 you can put a 500GB hard-drive in there for peanuts." So, why exactly do you need another 360, if you already have one? Games aren't going to be any better on a MW2 branded 360... "I LOVE MW. I still play the first one to this day a whole lot. I also wanted the bigger hard drive. "
I think you should research PS3 games more. I'm certain there is more out there than Uncharted 2 and God Of War III to interest you, and personal bias aside, I really believe Sony are hitting their stride games-wise.
They've pretty much left everyone in their dust this year, and show no sign of slowing down next year.
