Bluray might be breathing easier, but I don't think the PS3 is just yet. They've still got a ways to go, and the library of games isn't there. So long as titles are available on both systems, they're going to have a hard time catching up without a HUGE price drop.

Also, XBoxLive could be $500 a year and it would still be a better product than what Sony offers. The one thing I can't stand about the PS3, besides the lack of game titles is the online matchmaking. They've got some catching up to do there, and Home isn't going to do the trick.

Now I feel like playing, might have to crack open a copy of the new Burnout Paradise game.
