Why not just pay the $150 to send it to Sony, or find the solution to YLoD on Youtube and do that? Why would you want to spend $400 to buy a new PS3 when you could send to Sony or repair it yourself for much less?

I agree. Sony went hard these last two years. Season after season they've been adding more and more good exclusives to the PS3's library, and the new firmware updates have brought alot of new features, like trophies, home, and in-game XMB (speaking of which, isn't it time for a firmware update?). The $100 price drop helped alot too :P

oh god, I hope not. I was playing COD4 online the other day and just about every other match I had to mess with some annoying little kid.

One kid made me so mad I told him that if I was his parent I probably would have beat him to death long before now. He retorted with some lame Your-Momma jokes.

Yes, but when the PS3 first came out, there was no way they could sell it at 300, or even 400 dollars. But I do admit, they could have done a better job having a stronger set of exclusives and a better OS/firmware.

My Grandparents(65 and 70 yrsold) are actually buying a PS3.. not for gaming but for blu-ray. I actually talked them into it, obviously, since they wanted to buy a new 1080p HD tv and wanted a blu-ray player and surround sound, i told them they would be making a mistake if they didnt buy the ps3 for blu-ray. With the price drop and my grandma being a technology lover all of a sudden ( must be retirement:P) she agreed. +1 for Sony, and me:D

Now that people can afford one and theres more AAA games released with more to follow it only makes sense that more people will be picking one up.

The difference is, hardly anyone has a headset, at least in my experience. I had a 360 for about two months last year, and the little kids screaming cusswords is a big part of why I got rid of it.

More like since it dropped to $299 and lots of good exclusives came out from Sept till now forward and there's hardly any good games coming out on 360 any more.

The Slim helped too, but it's hardly the only reason.

Yeah, you're right. Now that I think about it, most kids probably aren't going to spend their money on a mic when they can buy a game, and parents probably aren't going to spend money so that their kids can talk with strangers. Hopefully I'm right lol.
