    shack I've been on the fence all weekend. First off I "thought" I wanted a PS3 for Xmas. Basically i have the cash to go buy one. In support my wife bought me little big planet GOTY edition for Xmas. I figured it would be a fun co-op game to play with her.

    But then i started to think about it, and what would be my reasons for buying a PS3? I have a pretty current PC, Xbox 360, blue ray player and a Wii. I can't think of many ps3 exclusive games that excite me. I do want to play LBP and Infamous thou, but I don't know if 2 games justify almost $400 bucks for a console. (console + 2nd controller + game). Plus I don't know if i can see myself buying a PS3 version of a nonexclusive game over a xbox 360 version.

    what would a gaming jesus do?
