So I finally caved and bought a PS3 (my legal dispute with Wal-Mart was finally settled, and I got my settlement.) I bought a 32" LCD HDTV for about $600 (720p), and I got the PS3 (along with Resistance: Fall of Man). Since I work at Target, I get an employee discount, so I saved quite a bit.

I gotta say, it's a VERRRRRRY nice piece of technology. You can turn the system on and off with the PS3 Sixaxis controller, the Blu-Ray technology is icing, and the games look great.

It is still seriously overpriced, but you do get a lot of bang for your buck.

Resistance is a pretty fucking sweet game. I've never been huge on FPS's (I was never really good at them), but its great fun. I'll probably pick up a couple more games tomorrow (or download some demos from the PlayStation Store.)

I still plan on getting the Wii, as well.
