360 Vs PS3 Vs Wii

[Sleeve]

I've been looking at trying it myself, but is it really necessary to play Uncharted 1 first to know the full story?

I've always liked knowing the full story (of books, movies, games) but having been out of serious PS gaming for a few years I've missed a lot of titles that are now on their fourth or higher installment, like Tekken, Devil May Cry and Metal Gear Solid (MGS 2 was such contrived crap I never bothered with 3).

You don't need to play Uncharted 1 to understand the sequel, the only advantage is having a better understanding of the characters but nothing important plotwise. Still it's worth playing through the first as it's a great game that can be found for cheap ($30 or less 2nd hand or $50 new).

Does the size of the PS3 hard drive matter? Is it used much? Is it worth an extra $100 for the larger hard drive.

Alot of PS3 games now use mandatory partial installs. I've only a 20gig and I worry about running out of space now

I've got a 120 GB and I can't see myself ever needing more space.

Note that on the older models (i.e. before the slim) it is apparently very easy to crack it open and put in a bigger HD - they're just standard drives. I don't know if this is still possible with the Slim though.

What made you make the switch?

Paulbot.. have you still not decided? Why not just get one now and then another later on... I usually end up with all the machines by the end of the generation.
I got a 360 instead of a PS3 for Street Fighter 4 earlier this year - based soley on price. Nothing to say i can't get a PS3 later on, and it'll be even cheaper when i decide to. It's not a bad way of doing it, since you can still find the popular games years later and unlike TFs, they're usually cheaper!

[Paulbot]

I'm only going to get one and yeah I still can't decide. I was thinking Xbox but the price drop on the PS3 and the exclusives it has have changed my mind. I think it will be an Xmas present to myself when there should be good deals.

What about the Bravia TV = free PS3 deal at the moment? I'm hoping they repeat that one this time next year when i move into my house!
