I'm not going to lie, it's mostly because I'm sort of a Sony fanboy. But I actually ended up getting it because my PS2 broke.

Because the PS2 was my favorite console and I thought the PS3 would be my next favorite console plus it was bundled with MGS4 and a DS3.

I couldn't pass up on MGS4 even if It ever comes to 360. Metal Gear is my all time favorite series. I can't miss out on any of them. I'm just glad there are other fantastic games on the PS3.

I thought it was the best time to get a PS3 for myself when MGS4 was goin to be released. Once I found out that there would be a bundle, I immediately made sure I had enough money to gte it and I am happy that I did. Great releases like GTA4 and LBP which I own are also in my collection. Can't wait till next year in february to pick up KILLZONE 2.

That's the one thing I both hate and love about Sony.

The awesome feeling that comes from owning a new console is due in part by learning your way around the new controller.

The horrible frustration that comes from owning a new console is due in part by learning your way around the new controller.

Sony pretty much eliminated both, but I'd rather have familiarity than change.

I needed another system besides the Wii, so I thought the PS3 would be a good choice. Ended up getting one for Christmas and I couldn't be happier.

My Motherboard only supports VGA GPUs which makes upgrading much, much harder. So I decided to get a console for multiplat games. The PS3 has the best hardware so it'll probably last longer than the others, it has free online, Blu-Ray and better exclusives compared to the 360 whose games end up on the PC 6 months later with more features.

That's why I bought it.

I bought it for the multi-media functionality, built in wifi, blu ray, and various game series that were traditionally PS1/PS2 or originally announced as PS3 exclusives. Assassin's Creed, FF13, and DMC4 being a few examples of said games that have seen gone to or been announced for 360... bastards -_-

I wouldn't care if a game is announced as multiplatform if they don't pull a Square Enix and go "Oh its a PS3 exclusive" like they did with FF13 on like 50 seperate occasions.

Another reason I bought one was because I have an HDTV and I needed to take full advantage of it.

They were nixing the backwards compatibility and my PS2 was dying. Shortly after, my 360 RROD'ed and then my replacement was busted so I said screw that and now play PS3 almost exclusively... which is fine because I was kindof a Sony fanboy to begin with, particularly now that Nintendo kinda sold out anyone who was a longtime supporter of them in favor of the fairweather trend-addicts.

I bought mine around the end of 2007 when it started to get some decent games. It also had a price cut around then and I've always been a huge PS fan.

I bought mine at launch because I knew the PS3 would have the most exclusives that I wanted to play by far. That hasn't changed. Things like Blu-ray and WiFi were gravy.

I was thinking about the xbox 360 first then I realised that Microsoft sucks and that the Playstation 3 is going to last longer due to the games not using it to it's full capasity. And there are lots of cool games, coolest LBP.

I purchased my PS3 after my third RROD on the Xbox 360. I liked its 80g and BC. It has not failed me once and its library of games are getting better. I liked getting a Blu-ray player to boot. It was more expensive but it has been worth it and I really like free online gaming and the Playstation store. You made a good decision and hope you enjoy it as much as I am.

I did some solid research and everything pointed towards getting the ps3. ITs a solid unit with little hiccups. Sony know how to make a good piece of equipment. THe games that were to come out knocked the block off anything exclusive to the xbox (although at the time of purchase none of these were released). Being a blue ray player as well as having an easily expandable hard drive its also the ideal media centre for my room. Tonnes of downloaded movies stored on it.

It's pretty much a rule of mine that I buy every console, and the PS3 was not going to be an exception. I do this because all consoles offer something that enhances my gaming experience, and being the type of gamer that I am, I'm not going to miss out.

Same here. So far I have 48 Blu Ray movies and 3 games (Wipeout HD, Little Big Planet and Uncharted).
