First time PS3 buyer

Magus stole my answers.

Uncharted is an extremely gorgeous looking game. It is fun to play, and you have reason to go back to it time and time again. The only issue you may have is the game could be beat in about 8 hours or so.

As for movie, The Dark Knight is the way to go. It is one of the 3 blu rays that really pops due to the IMAX scenes, and just the scope of some of the scenes.

As for 360 and PS3, while I think it is wiser to buy a PS3 for the Blu ray, if you want a system for movies. I say go with the Xbox 360, with the Netflix features, you literally have hundreds of movies and TV shows at your finger tips, and even a decent selection of hi def stuff as well. The streaming is top of the line as well. And gonna be selfish and suggest The Orange Box so that you could join the rest of GT in our games.

I'm curious, since you guys bring up netflix. (And I'm too lazy to look but..) How much is the subscription to Nexflix, and do you need xbox live to get it? What level of XBL do you need and how much is that subscription?

Good question there, I'm curious as well. And is the HD content from Netflix 1080p or 720p?

Magus & BaB: I have seen the E3 videos for the latest Uncharted, and it did look gorgeous. Did the first one look that good?

Ooh and I forgot about the Dark Knight IMAX shots. That must look sweet.

Magus: Why do you say Ratchet and Clank, because it is fun, or because it looks good? Both? Something else?

BaB: I'm not sure what you meant -- so are you saying if you wanted movies you would go with the PS3 or the 360? Oh, and I would love to get in on the Orange Box play, but I've got it for PC and I just can't see myself getting used to playing FPSes on analog sticks again after the PC and also the Wii.

Other opinions?

Well just for my personal picks

Top 5 Blu Rays in no Order
The Dark Knight, Casino Royale, Sin City, Iron Man and Wall-E

As for the movies question, I was just saying that Xbox has more content for movies as it allows you to instantly stream if you have Netflix and I believe the movies are outputted in 720p.

And after speaking with Munk, it seems like you need XBL for Netflix which has to suck because then it goes up to like 58 bucks just to get the thing running. And 8 bucks a month (for a single DVD out at a time) for Netflix.

And Ratchet and Clank is a pretty and awesome game.

But now that you mention it, both games are getting sequels this year and would make sense to wait for Uncharted 2 since it adds in an impressive online mode.
