I was excited for ps3 for final fantasy 13, MSG4, tekken 6... but it seems like they're all going to be available on xbox360 which is way cheaper... is it still worthwhile to get a ps3 for games? like are there any good games that will be exclusively on ps3?

I REALLY would not bet on FF13, tekken 6, or MGS4 to ever come out on Xbox. It's a slight possibility w/ mgs, but the others are...no.

My question to you is...do you have an HDTV?

If you do not, then i'm sure the HDMI doesn't matter so much to you, and therefore you will probably not buy a 360 elite am i correct? Then in this case, i would not buy either console unless you really like the 360, and i would wait and see.

If you do, i'm sure you WILL care about blu-ray, and the PS3 is suddenly not much more expensive than the elite xbox either. In this case, you could wait for the ps3's speculated 40gb model, which will be stripped of a few things probably and therefore it will be cheaper, or you can get the 60gb now which has full backward compatability. Wait or not, if you have an HDTV, judging by your taste in games, the PS3 is probably a much better buy for you.

Umm.... I doubt any those games are going to the 360 anytime soon. Maybe Tekken but MSG4 is on lockdown by contract and Square has stated that there are no plans or any work being done on any version of Final Fantasy for the 360. In their words Final Fantasy is a "blank slate" in regards to the 360. As for other exclusives there was a thing call E3 two weeks ago. Check out Gamespot's coverage.

where do you get your infor from. These games are not coming out on the 360 plus PS3 is a great reliable system without any bugs, three red light of death and other problems that makes a superior system plus the games coming out for it this holiday season are definitely better than the 360 in my opinion.

I forget the name of the comic strip, but my brother-in-law subscribes to it and sends me the occasional comic... and a few of them were hinting that ff 13, mgs4 would be coming out on xbox. I DO have an HDTV and I desire the backward compatibility for ps games (but i can always just keep my ps2) Well, with ff13, mgs4, tekken6, and gow3 exclusively on ps3 I think the choice is simple. Thanks.
