Should I get a Playstation 3?
As a graduation present, my grandmother gave me $500 in spending money, and I’m considering getting a PS3. I already have a 360 (favorite games - Mass Effect 1/2, Assassin’s Creed 2, GTA4, Halo, etc.) and my sister has a Wii, which I don’t really play. I plan on bringing my xbox to college next year (going to Purdue, we live in Indianapolis, so 1 hr away). If I do get a PS3, I may decide to leave it here, so I’d be able to play it only on weekends. We do not have a blue ray player now, so getting the Ps3 would be a plus for that.
So should I get the PS3 or stick with my 360 and use the $500 in spending money during college?

Education is more important than video game consoles, but if you really want it then go for it.
yes u should get a ps3 and keep the ps3 at home and bring the ps3 with u bc it would be cheaperin the long run bc it is free to play online and it is way better then 360.
no you should buy NINTENDO DSI! with dual monitor lcd touch screen built in monitor and camera. and download roms from the internet.
I would sell the 360, and use that money for the ps3. The 360 costs too much money for online.
Gaming on the ps3 is way better.
Ps3
Personally the PS3 I think lacks alot of games and many of the games dont use the PS3s power abilities. Blue ray players are coming down on price and if you wanna pinch a penny get it off of Craigslist.THe PS3s online is nice for big matches and all but its laggy and slow at times because many servers tend to be overseas in my experience.
Xbox has alot better game library the online is better(less laggy and glitchy)the games actually use the 360s power(although it can still be pushed a bit more.Like the Xbox MS will probably make a new console before the 360s true power can be seen.PS3 will be like the PS2 and be around till you have grandkids.)
Also I would bank the 500 and save it for an emergecny car repair,new car down payment or the best would be saving for your own home and using it as a CD and not touching it and gaining the benefits and keep adding to it.
keep the 360 dont buy the ps3 they only try to sucker you in with free online play. Also in college you will need money to spend and not seem cheap in front of the girls. BTW my gt is MIKE HAWK 64. good for you your going 2 college
