I was going to hold out and wait for more games too but I ended up buying a ps3 a month or two ago. There still aren't any games out that really interest me (i got warhawk, it's pretty fun) - I'm looking forward to MGS4, FFXIII, GTA4. That said I don't regret buying it now. If you can find a 60gb one somewhere then I'd pick that up if I were you. That way you can save some cash by buying one now.

Dude...a PS3 is worth it no matter what time you buy. You should have shelled it out at launch as I did. You would have got your hands on the 20gig which is now a memory. Mine is now a $160gig. Cost me just under $559 CDN. Cheers mate.

If you have a lot of PS2 games and play them, then it is worth getting a 60gig 'fore they're gone. Unless you want to join the RRoD club, now over 1 million strong.

I have never regretted getting mine at full retail before any price drop. So if you have the extra cash then go ahead and get it now. Although the EU PS3's never had the EE chip, Sony is still working at getting the firmware to allow more PS/PS2 games to play on the PS3.

If the PS3 is your only next gen system, then yes, it's worth buying now, there is a long enough library of games to get you going and keep you going until some of the good games finally start hitting towards the end of the year and into next year.

If you already own a 360 though, or are planning on getting one, then no, I don't believe there is enough to warrant a purchase of a PS3, unless your really into Blu Ray movies, but if you were, you would probably get a really good Blu Ray player instead of the mediocre and lackluster featured PS3 player.

Way too many of the multiplatform games are inferior on the PS3 right now, hopefully that changes, but right now it's reality. Resistance is good, but overated due to the fact it's one of the only PS3 exclusive shooters that's worth your time.

Anyone that says Ninja Gaiden Sigma is really all that much different from Ninja Gaiden Black on the original Xbox is kidding themselves or trying to feel comfortable in thier 60 dollar purchase of a 3 year old game. Yeah it has some new bits added into it and it looks prettier and they fixed a few issues, but bottom line it is an upscaled version with a patch and 5$ load of DLC thrown in, that's about the jist of it.

There are very few if any truly amazing exclusives for the PS3 out right now, there are several in the pipe, but right now, there is no game that will blow you away, that's just the reality of it, and frankly, anyone that says there is, is a fanboy. Yeah, the system is great, it packs a lot of value, it's worth 600 bucks, and in another year or so, there should be a nice list of really amazing games out there to play, but right now, it's a drastically inferior game library that doesn't warrant a purchase.

Also consider that if your someone who plays with multiple friends and would possibly be buying multiple extra controllers, that by the time the game library starts shaping up, the new controller might be out, and if you go out and buy the system and another controller or 2, you just threw away 100 bucks or more, because no one is going to want the current SIXAXIS controller once the new one comes out.

it was worth all $600 i paid for it. you get your money's worth. it is a wonderful machine with lots of great games to come and plenty of good ones now. just pick up ngs, motorstorm, oblivion, warhawk and you will be content and then realize all the stuff in the pipeline.

I'd say they still have 60 Gigs at Wal Marts still, or best buys. I'd get one of those unless you want to bank on the 80 GB to go down 100 bucks before the year is over. I personally love my PS3 better than my 360, and my Wii. If you for some reason decided to get a 360 (dont do it) at least wait until they fix the RROD problem. But other than that, right now is a pretty exciting time to own a PS3. And of course, if you get a PS3, you have to buy Resistance, it's a rule. jk, but it is awesome.
