360ps3.jpgI'm stuck at a standstill, and I'm not sure I'll be able to move forward until I have your help.

For the past few weeks, I've been debating between purchasing an Xbox 360 or a PlayStation 3. Both are attractive for separate reasons — and I cannot get both.

Here's my situation. I need your help.

Xbox 360

Cheaper. But which model? HDMI is preferred.

Rock Band. Will hard drive-less Arcade model have enough space for DLC?

Media Center Extender. But would need to run powerline to add to network.

Better games. But I don't really have time to get into hardcore games. Scene It is more attractive.

PlayStation 3

More expensive.

Blu-ray. Won the format war, but I don't buy (or rent) movies that much.

Rock Band. But can't use my PS2 guitar, which is moronic.

Free Online Play. But would I buy any other games?

Guitar Hero 2, You Still Rock

You know how I really want Rock Band?

Well, I still want it, but not as badly. I'm managing to get over my desire for it by playing lots of Guitar Hero 2, which I have for the PS2.

I hadn't picked up the game in awhile — in fact, I hadn't even unboxed my PS2 since we moved — but I set it up over the weekend and have been playing GH2 a lot.

I finally moved on to Hard in the career mode (I know, there are kids out there who could kick my ass), so it's keeping me busy.

Side note: Would my PS2's wired GH2 guitar work with Rock Band on the PS3?
