I grabbed the B/C 60Gb while it was still around, the price difference was  
offset by the fact that I would be able to play my old PS2 games; that and  
my PS2 was failing anyway.

Shame though that some games just refuse to play properly compared to the  
Japan/USA full B/C models, but most work fine.

If I hadn't already been down the PS route I may well have picked up an  
Xbox. Though looking back at the RROD that the early models were beset by  
I'm kind of glad I didn't; that and the whole paid membership thing. I  
mean, seriously, what with multiplayer taking up such a huge swath of a  
lot of games charging for the privilege of using it. If you buy a game a  
month that's a £3 surcharge on top to play it online.
