To ALL of you saying you JUST bought a ps3 and paid more than what the price is now, let me just say I have had this happen with several things in my life and if you just bring it back to where you got it with the receipt, as long as it wasn't like more than a month or 2 ago, you can always get the difference back. You'll either get it back in actual cash or a gift card depending on where you purchased it. So say you spent $299.99 at walmart a week ago. Put everything back in the box with the receipt, take it back to walmart, they'll give you $50 back. If for any reason they do not, google corporate, find their number, make sure to ask for a supervisor, tell them what happened with the price drop and they will ensure you receive your money! I 100% guarantee this will work! I've done this more times than I can count for all sorts of different priced things and at all different places, from best buy to walmart and yes, even gamestop. Heck, a lot of times if you speak to a supervisor at gamestop headquarters and you put up enough of a stink, they'll even refund the money owed and throw in a $25 gift card. I had that happen twice. So yeah, do this if you want money back. It WILL WORK!!!

Does anyone know what happened to giant mailbag? I mean I doubt people just stopped sending them things. Did they stop making Giant Mailbag videos or something? They're my favorite thing to watch on this site and pretty much the only thing that keeps me coming back. Thanks

I made the trade and actually a lot of the negatives disappears, like not being able to stream content. I gave up quite a few games, but all but about 2 were crap games. I think I got a great deal here. Plus no worries about rrod ever again!

So I have a dilemna. I have a 20gb model xbox 360. I found a kid on craigslist who wanted to trade his 120gb model slim ps3 that he just purchased a couple of weeks ago for an xbox 360. His ps3 comes with modern warfare 2 and so does mine. I e-mailed him and said I would trade my xbox 360 with like 12 games (modern warfare 2, the rest are all older ones like nba2k8, nhl2k7, etc, but also a few arcade games are on the hard drive like braid, shadow complex, trials hd, texas holdem, uno, mortal kombat, etc), 2 wireless controllers and a few more accessories for his ps3 with just a wireless controller and modern warfare 2. He said he would do it and we are likely going to trade in a couple days. The only problem is, I'm starting to rethink it. For every positive, it seems I come across a negative. For instance, I will list some positives and negatives I have been thinking about. If anyone has any other negatives and/or positives to add to this list or if anyone has any reason why I should or should not make this trade, please let me know.
Positives:
1.)wifi adapter included with ps3
2.)ps3 plays blu-rays
3.)online play is free on ps3
4.)ps3 has playstation exclusive games such as Uncharted, G.O.W.3, killzone 2, metal gear
5.)the ps3 I would be getting has a way bigger hard drive
6.)no stupid R.R.O.D. ever again
7.)PS3 is  just plain cooler looking
Negatives:
1.)XBOX Live (from what I hear) has way better online experience than ps3
2.)I'm giving way more games than I'm getting in return
3.)Can't play halo reach :(
4.)Can't play gears 3 :(
5.)I have some games that I haven't beaten yet that I will never be able to beat now unless I buy it for ps3 and start over (i.e.GTA IV, burnout paradise)
6.)I don't even have a hi-def tv so blu ray is kind of useless right now
7.)Blu ray discs are really expensive
8.)Although I was always a playstation fanboy and was totally used to the playstation controllers, I've gotten used to and fallen in love with the xbox 360 controller
9.)Can't stream content from my pc (I don't think)
PLEASE HELP! What should I do?

I would go for the xbox 360 for all the reasons mentioned and this one. There is a new deal at gamestop right now where you can get an xbox 360 elite with the 120GB hard drive, 2 awesome games with forza motorsport 3 and halo odst 3 (which includes the multiplayer disc which is the only way of playing the beta for halo reach that's coming in may) and you also get a $50 gift card for gamespot with that deal, so that's a year xbox live right there, all for $299. So yeah, for $300 you get an xbox360 with a huge hard drive, the better online experience, the cool black design like ps3 has, 2 awesome games, the halo reach beta and the knowledge that you have the elite, which I believe has the 150w jasper power brick, which uses less power and is highly unlikely to ever red ring. Even if it did, you have 3 years from time of purchase to send it in and get a brand new one for free. 
 
Also, if you plan on playing games online a lot and don't care about blu ray, go with the xbox 360. The point about having an hdtv is kind of mute because yeah, the ps3 will look slightly better but with hdmi, the games for the xbox 360 look just as good in hi-def. In reality, blu ray is actually more about better sound than it is much better picture. Go with your gut.

Hands down Just Cause 2!!
