Do you guys think the thing is worth the $300?

Here's what i think from what you said above: looked like you had 4 main points.
Quote:
Netflix
Netflix is on Xbox as well, and it's worth nothing that you can stream audio from PC to XBOX as well, not just the PS3. both consoles can do it.
Games:
Call of Duty and Madden are on both consoles, so that won't affect your choice.
Alot of games are multi-platform,
If you gotta play Gran Tourismo get a PS3.
If you have to have Halo get an XBOX.
Online:
and you don't play online, so the fact that PS3 is free online and XBOX live is paid also doesn't matter.
Bluray
You're looking for Blu-ray: PS3 only. there's RUMORS microsoft is going to release an Add-on blu-ray player for the 360, but that's going to run you at least 100$ i'd expect, which is an added cost most people wouldn't go for. i'd expect that's only going to find sales with the people who already have XBOX, or don't want a PS3.

your case, this boils down the the Blu-ray, which is a win for the PS3.
I'm a die-hard XBOX person, and i'd never change it, i'm also a fairly intense Gamer, and play a lot of online play. i also play Halo, so for me, it's gotta be XBOX.
for you? i'd go PS3
