my opinion: i've never owned a console. main games i've always wanted to play were the ff series, have played a couple of them at friend's houses and found them to be alot of fun. kingdom hearts also.

some of the tekken games are alright for when friends come over too.

someone mentioned capability to play movies in quite a few different formats, as well as install linux on it right out of the box. going to wait for the price to drop a bit more, as well as for when i actually have the money to afford one safely – maybe mid/late next year. i'll probably get a ps3 over a 360. 360 has fun games, but doesn't appeal to me for actually owning a system. capability to put linux on a console that i own definately has my interest.

IF YOU GOT CHEAP PARENTS OR A SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY, THE PS3 IS NOT THE ONE TO GO FOR BECAUSE THE ONE WITH MORE MEMORY OR SOMTHING HAS PRICES UP TO $499! AND I MEAN IF YOUR GOING TO GET ONE, YOU MIGHT AS WELL GET THE BETTER ONE THAT WILL LAST YOU RIGHT. SO GO FOR THE BETTER ONE. </p> SORRY, I FORGOT SOMTHING.

They are Playstation specific games that I have bought the PS1 and PS2 for in the past.

Besides, the PS3 only games are/will be so much more advanced than any xbox games could ever be. Compare the two back to back and it's like buying a Pinto instead of a Porsche.

Exclusive games and mini games.
I dropped over $1200 when they first came out and still think it was well worth every penny, and will be for years to come.

I am hoping to get one for christmas and have done my research.one thing that has been argued is the backward compatability. sure thats great but i dont have a ps2 so i dont need it.the exclusive games like heavenly sword, lair, and uncharted have me hugely excited. and the fact that i'm getting a new tv also makes the blu-ray player sound pretty good. some people also say the 360 has better graphics but they're not that much better and since i've had a gamecube for a while now any improvement in graphics is welcome.</p> the ps3 is an awesome game system.

No diff. from the competition @ $399. They should've done that a long time ago. With holiday season, I don't see any advantage over the other two consoles. The unit is bulky, ugly, and with a bunch of apps that are ONLY compatible with Sony. What about integration with Macs, Apple TV, PC-based Media center. Not worth buying.</p> Definitely NOT!!.
