Re: Itch to switch (pc to ps3)

Having the same feeling, bought my Ps3 mostly for my movies & blu ray, but acquired more titles this year for my ps3 than pc. Mostly using my pc for Dtp and internet. The prices for components is just becoming a tad bit expensive for high end gaming. Just my 2c :D

The ps3 is connected wireless so when I s...
