Sell your 360 and the add on. Keep everything else.

better yet, hold off on spending any more money on DVDs... this way the money can go towards a "PS3 Sooner!" fund.

This would be the best route for you for sure. Most 360 games have equivalents on PS3 anyway, and you will no longer need to support a dead format on a dying console.

Think of it in a different perspective. You still have a gaming system and movies to enjoy. A BD player is not that expensive. By the way...

Well I wouldn't scrap your Hd Dvds yet but save some money and defineatly add Blu-ray. I am format nuetral and I am keeping it around. But Blu-ray is going to win now and you do need to phase in Blu-ray. Get a Ps3 you will want profile 1.1.

Draagonman, if youhave decent credit apply for a BestBuy or Sony Store card, you can get 12 months no interest no payments with either stores with approved credit, Sony Style Store is even giving an additional $100 off with the purchase of the $399 or $499 PS3, plus 12 months no interest!

DO IT!!! DO IT!!!!
