Probably going to get one this weekend. It only took 3 years for it to be a reasonable price.

W/ only a handful of games i really wanna play on it ... still not interested. I'm happy w/ my X-Box 360 and the games for it.

Well there is no contest gamewise. Xbox360 is WAY better. I just want to enjoy Bluray without using my computer.

That's still PS3's biggest draw is blu-ray. Most of the big games are multi-platform anyway , w/ the development costs as high as they are it's risky to develop for only one console. Having said that however the Wii is bombarded by shovelware.

Too little too late as far as I'm concerned. Also, there are only three PS3 exclusives I give a damn about. MGS4, Uncharted, and God of War. Not worth buying a system for at this point.

The last guardian looks cool. But Sony did drop the ball big time.

I have a ps3 and have a handful of games I get in trades, but I feel that I've played most of the good games for the system. Granted I use my 360 for multiplat so it seems as though it has more games, but overall I enjoy the ps3.

I'm playing Metal Gear Solid for the PSOne classics and hopefully they'll have Backwards Compatibility on the newer versions, but until then, oh well.

I would love th 360 if it doesn't crash as much.

The newer 360's w/ the Jasper chipset should get rid of crashes and RRD problems.

Interesting, wish they put it in with their 1st generation systems.

The only games I'm looking forward to playing is of course Medal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy, but since FF is coming to the 360, along with MGS Rising, it's really not worth buying.
