Buying PS3...Damn GT5 lol

So after I saw pictures/videos, I am gonna get PS3 and GT5...
Anyways, I am thinking of buying 40gig and just wondering if there's a cheaper place to buy than Bestbuy, 399.99.
Definately not buying one from ebay. Any thoughts?

I already have the steering wheel and other stuffs. I am guessing that it's compatible with PS3? (I used it for GT4 in PS2)

I can't wait!

Haha, I might have to get one for GT5 and Bluray myself. I still think my 360 is far better in everything else, and I don't think GT5 will compare to Forza 2's actual technical driving, but it does look sexy as hell.

I have both consoles and XBOX sucks compared to PS3. The only game I like to play on XBOX is Forza but that will change after I get GT5 and a G25 wheel.
This is the setup I want to get:

Halo is probably the worst game ever. I hate it. For me the 360 gives a better all around experience though. XBL is light years ahead of the PS3's online platform, free or not, and that to me is worth it. I'm not a big hardcore gamer, but I do like to hop on and play with some friends every now and then.

I don't have anything against the PS3, it just doesn't suit me. But like I said, now that Bluray has won and GT5 is coming out, I might have to toss a PS3 into the entertainment center next.

360 is still a better console than PS3 because what makes a console is it's games, and PS3 has very few worth mentioning. That being said if the PS3 developers can get their act together it does have superior hardware to 360 and may start pulling ahead eventually.

Do we have a solid ETA on GT5 yet? I bought a PS2 for GT3, I'm waiting for GT5 to Buy a PS3.

Nothing out there comes even close when it comes to actual driving dynamics, and physics that's what keeps folks coming back to GT... I cannot wait.

Wheel is a Logitech G25 and seat is Playseats Evolution. You will also need the gear shift holder attachment sold separately.

yeah, but the superb blu ray player is a great bonus. i feel that if xbox came with the hd dvd player built into the unit then that format may have had a fighting chance.
