There are not many crowds or places in the country that have a better impact on the game than at Iowa State. The Cyclone fans are truly a sixth man. The place is so loud and always a fantastic crowd." - Former Kansas and current North Carolina head coach Roy Williams

They aren't discontinuing the 80gb PS3. They are just changing the bundle...they will ship it with Metal Gear and a DualShock 3 controller (as opposed to Motorstorm and a Dualshock 2 controller). Sony: Metal Gear Solid 4 PS3 Bundle Announced | | | |

And the 80GB PS3 uses software emulation for backwards compatibility (someone already mentioned this), which I understand works decently but not great. You might be better off buying a 40GB PS3 for a $100 less, and then that $100 will buy you a new PS2. Or you can get a 360 and a PS2...
I bought a 360 at first because I was interested in online gaming, and the price was a bit cheaper. But I decided I didn't want to risk RROD or some other failure, and my 360 sounded like a jet engine (I don't think it had the latest BenQ drive), and I found a great deal on a new PS3. So I sold the 360 and picked up a 40GB PS3 and haven't looked back. I think the PS3 has a few extra things going for it, which certainly aren't necessary, but can be nice (built in wifi, upgradable HDD, reliability, probably a longer product lifecycle, bluray although I don't care about that, free online play which is good for me cuz I only play COD4, you can install linux if you're into that sort of thing).
Honestly, most of the reasons I listed aren't important enough to base a decision on. If you don't care about exclusive titles, you probably wouldn't notice much/any difference between the consoles. I'm glad I could provide some useless info that probably won't help you at all :)

Well, I've decided to sell my xbox 360 and games. We got a ps3 to play blu ray movies and now it's really hard to justify having the xbox to play games while not playing games on the ps3.

We got a PS3 this week for the same reason you did, for the blu-ray player. Got my first Blu Ray movies today, so I cannot wait for these kids to go to sleep so I can try it out.

I will probably pick up a PS3 to play blu ray movies as well. Why not? It's just as cheap as a stand alone blu ray player. Beyond that, my online play will probably always be on xboxlive. |

Now the online play is a little "friendlier" if you have a ton of fellow nerds that you know and like to play woth all the time. I think its easier to chat and get into games with them on the 360. But I am and always will be a Playstation guy. It is a pain to play COD4 and try to get into games with a couple guys I work with and get denied. Some of that i think is the games server though.
The Blu ray is a priceless add on. I love being able to see veryones pores in their noses on film.
