Multi console gaming is great but it is a luxury. I like my PS3 plenty but if I had to be XBOX exclusive I wouldn't be sad. I'm not particularly thrilled with the exculsives on either side (I'm still just getting into the PS3 stuff however). If you do have extra cash it's fun to be able to shop on both sides of this divide.

Pros: Blu-Ray Player, Good Exclusives, System has lasted for 3 years now without issues (couldn't say that about my old 360), PSN is free if you ever get a more reliable internet service. Cons: The price is still a bit high for this late in the cycle, the motion controllers for system don't really work that well, noticeable frame rate drops on games that ran smoother when playing same game on the 360 (Mostly for 3rd party ports, Games that were developed just for the PS3 run a lot smoother), can't listen to your own music while playing a game for majority of games, and no private chat option for on-line. Those are what stick out so far from playing each system for over 3 years.

I think there are lots of exclusives that make it worth it -- I got the PS3 when it dropped to $299 and have absolutely loved it. That being said, we might only be a year or so away from the next gen, and E3's right around the corner, so it might be worth waiting a month and seeing if the console drops to $199.

uncharted is great, but not worth getting a new console.

I think its worth it if you have your Xbox on one TV e.g. in your room... then PS3 in your living room then you can use it for media e.g. Blurays and DVDs with the occasional game. It is worth it for those reasons and the exclusive games

Its worth I'd say. AT the moment, I don't see myself ever buying another Xbox because PS3 is so much better.

Wait, what?! Where did you ever get that thought in your head that I "luv" multiplayer. Fact is, I'm against multiplayer at all costs in games. I only buy a game for the single player, which is exactly what i did with Killzone 2 and 3... And bringing up a pointless comment about my theme? Open your eyes man, not everyones sig and theme is game-related, geez...

no, no.. i like dexter, its a really cool series, just never seen someone so into it that they'd post it as an avatar, i'm not knocking it bro, it looks cool just nevermind.. anyways, usually when someone starts breaking my balls on this site its cause they're an mp fanboy who's all butt hurt over the valid examples i bring up about it ruining gaming, they can't stand it cause they know i'm usually right so there only option is to bring on the bashing, i just assumed it was more of the same.. my apologies.

I'm not gonna lie, a couple of months ago I purchased the complete Dexter Seasons 1-5 boxset and have finished them already, I guess I'm just addicted to it at the moment lol, hence the reason I have a Dexter theme. And honestly, if I could have it my way multiplayer wouldn't exist. Glad we agree on that. :)

Personally, not really. I had a ps3 and asked the same question for the xbox. Now that I have an xbox--thank god i didn't buy it (got it for christmas). I would take the inferior version with free internet online over having to buy another console that I can barely differentiate differences with a paid subscription. Unless you are dying to play the PS3 exclusives, free internet gaming (quit xbox live to save money), then no--don't buy one. Almost all the multiplatform games are better on the 360 so you'll end up buying it for it anyways. Exclusives is like beauty, it only comes from the player/eye of beholder. To be more easy on you--it's like someone asking you, would you buy a 360 just for its exclusives IF considering almost all multiplats are better on the ps3?

It is funny how people still believe the multiplat inferiority myth this late in the generation. In 2007, games ran worse on PS3, but not so much anymore. It is only PC ported to console games that run worse on PS3 like Mafia, Skyrim and the like. Every once in a while there will be a Bayonetta, but games run the same now.

I think yes. Since PS3 is unlike Xbox 360. You'll find this ps3 somehow.
