Blu-rays are too expensive and I have too many SD-DVDs". I told him why don't you just buy a BD player or sell your Xbox (that he doesnt use) and just buy a 40GB PS3. It has an upconverter and blu-ray all for about the same price or more as the Xbox and a new dvd player. Plus, it has more potential to grow and become and even better system than it already is.

It just felt like I was talking to a brick wall. I was getting pretty aggervated. Well sorry I just had to vent.

It's an education process, have you had him over to play with your PS3? For some people that's all it takes. The difference in quality between the 2 systems is IMMEDIATELY apparent, and it doesn't take the XBOX's red ring of death to make that clear.

That being said, there are a lot more games out for Xbox than for PS3, and a lot more of them are mainstream titles. Once the PS3 gets more AAA titles he may come around.
