Hold off on buying a 360. Although I'm guessing you will anyways if your gonna wait till NHL'08 comes out. Sony is dropping the price of the PS3 next week. You might want to consider buying that instead or see if Microsoft will also drop their price.

actually he brings it overhead and stabs the sickle into the zombies head, then gives it a yank and pops the head right off. semantics really though. my favorite weapon has to be the auger, nothing like stabbing a zombie with it then turning it on and using the zombie like a spinning battering ram until all you're left with is a bloody torso

for sheer effectiveness though nothing beats the mini chainsaws you get after beating the clown. when you get the 3 books that extend it's durability (entertainment, sharp instruments, and tools i think) it'll last forever and makes cutting through zombies a cakewalk. also makes the boss fights much easier

buy it!
Microsoft has extended the warrenties to 3 years now, so who cares about the "ring"?
they probably are made well anyway now, and even if you get a bad one, you're covered. Nothing to worry about. Great system!

The PS3 just dropped $100, wait a week and see if microsoft does something similar.

Really this isnt a price drop, its a clearance price for a model that will no longer be manufactured. Sony has announced that they will no longer be making the 60GB PS3, and will be focusing on an 80 GB PS3 which is retailed at the same price it was before.

However when considered i would much rather pay $100 less then have a model with 20 extra GB
