No, you should wait. The Zii is also around the corner. Don't wast your money now.

Here's the way I break it down:

--If you have an hd set, you are also buying a future proof blu-ray player.

--The library isn't as enormous as it could be, but the quality is very good. It somewhat reminds me of the N64.

----Uncharted 1&2. Killzone series. Resistance series. GTA5. Demon Souls. Motorstorm. Valkyria Chronicles. Little Big Planet. Metal Gear Solid 4. Street Fighter 4. Fight Night Round 4. I'm sure there are others, and some that I've listed that other people would not, but part of my point is that if you are buying a ps3 now, quite a few of the really good games are bargain priced, so it isn't going to cost you a fortune to build up a library. Also remember that Sony is releasing the Move controller, so I wouldn't be worried about a ps4 announcement.

I don't play games too often actually, and I'm not upset at buying one in the slightest.

The next gen of consoles arent' going to be out for a long time. So just get yourself a PS3 and stop missing out on all these amazing games.

:lol: But seriously, the PS4 and Xbox720 aren't even real as of right now, so you still have a lot of time until then.

They will be making PS3 games for another 5+ years. This console is not going away soon. Microsoft might put one out in a couple if years because their hardware is very dated in the 360. The PS3 doesn't have that issue. Also, Blu-Ray is taking off. Sony has no reason to look at putting out another console for at least 5 years. They can an probably will milk the PS3 for all they can. I disagree with one poster about the game library. The library is deep and very diverse. There are hit exclusives in literally every genre plus the multiplatform games. Each year, PS3 has rolled out a lot of new hit series plus some sequels. This year is no exception so far with MAG and Heavy Rain coupled with God of War 3. Gran Turismo 5, Socom 4, and Mid Nation racers are on the way plus others. That's not even mentioning multiplatform games like Bad Company 2 and Final Fantasy 13. The library is stellar and will keep you more occupied than u want. It's a great time to buy a PS3 because you can get a lot of previous releases much cheaper now.

It depends on where you live. If you live in the EU, more specifically the UK, I can give you great tips with regard to saving money on video games and the like.

Buy a ps3! They are cheaper now and most importantly now have some really great games to buy with it!

Heavy Rain, FF13, God Of War3, MLB The Show 2010, Resistance2, Uncharted2 and MGS4.

My guess is we wont see next gen consoles until OCt - Dec of 2012, so around 2 1/2 years from now. I would buy one. The ps3 is a great machine and most importantly has some great games. A couple of them being ranked up there with my favorite games of all time, and many others being fantastic.

Amazon. although it looks as though they recently raised the price a bit due to lack of PS3's I am guessing.

Like you said, they aren't the best when it comes to the price.

I haven't used Amazon for games in a while. I just go with whichever offer my price comparison websites point me to. :P

As far as I know, there haven't been any mention of a PS4 or newer Xbox console.... go out and get yourself a PS3 - there should be some awesome bundles out there. Once the next generation of consoles hit retail, you can always trade in your current console/games towards your new purchase.

Sony said in a very recent interview that the PS3 is only about 30% through its life span. No, I can't link it for you, you can google as well as I can :P

In any case, PS3 still has a good 4+ years ahead of it, as its technology is still very current.

This is true, Sony officially announced they have no plans for a new Playstation console anytime soon. Get the ps3, it's awesome.

I know. But if you take a good look, they'r way over price. MSRP for a 250GB is supposed to be $350. Those ones are over $400.

Look in odd places to buy a PS3. Check Sears or some other place that isn't the most popular.
