Post $600 dillema!

so i have 600 bucks to spend on anything i want, and i have narrowed it down to two things either a ps3 when it comes out or a hondata reflash for my si but i cant seem to decide on either one. need help

ps3 pros: awesome graphics games look awesome, blu ray
cons: i rarely even play my ps2 anymore so will i even play a ps3

reflash pros: more power, lower vtec engagement more power
cons: i rarely race my car so do i really need more power.

Ha ha ha. REFLASH!!!!!!!! It helps you pass the occasional MDX with an identity crisis. They're 0-60 is 7.1 secs. Soccer moms with balls. It's scary.

I want a PS3 but I'm not willing to spend that much money on something that'll be half its starting price 3-6 months after it's release. The reflash will likely stay the same price.

Well I would say reflash. Its great! If you're going to get it...get it soon. I've heard rumors that the price of the reflash might be going up alittle. Goodluck on your choice.

Whatever you choose I don't want you doing this later.

Dang, if that's the case, I'm definitely getting it while I can afford it.

I would go with the reflash myself. Even if you don't race anymore, that added mid-range power will make the car even more fun to drive on the road.

Made it a poll for you. Be the first in line for the PS3, then double your money on ebay with it, then buy both.

I voted for the PS3 but if it I had an extra 600 to blow I'd put it towards a new camera. Ofcourse then Id have to come up with the other 800 Id need for my 30D :)
