I would suggest getting one now. Because the other day I saw a thread where there has actually been a small increase in price. If this happens across the market the price drop may actually still be a little more than it is now. Just something to think about.

yes you wont be dissapointed

just be aware that there is a drought of games right now but seeing as how you will barely be getting it you should be able to enjoy Resistance and Motorstorm for the time being until August

As of right now, the best games are Resistance, Oblivion and Motorstorm. The sports games are fun, and so is Virtua Fighter, but the big reasons for owning a PS3 are Home, free online play, and the upcoming exclusive titles. To list them off:

Ninja Gaiden Sigma
Heavenly Sword
Lair
Warhawk
Killzone
Ratchet & Clank Future
Uncharted: Drakes Fortune
Haze (timed exclusive)
Metal Gear Solid 4
LittleBigPlanet
Eight Days
The Getaway
The Agency
Hot Shots Golf
God of War III
Gran Turismo 5

That list looks pretty impressive, and there are bound to be more original IPs announced along the way. I'm just waiting for the announcement of a new PS3 Twisted Metal.

Get it, I got mine after having my 360 a while and I like it so much that i ended up dropping the 360 all together and the ps3 is now my main console.

I would say wait because no really good games are coming out soon. The only games they have right now worth getting is Resistance and Oblivion. Although Oblivion would take you awhile to beat and have a lastly appeal, resistance might get old after you beat the game. I would say wait until september or october when all the great games are really availble.

Plus, how did the 360's gaming library sneak into this post anyways? They gaming library is far better than the ps3's right now.

As someone else who has yet to purchase a PS3, I'd say the time is right to purchase one... We won't see a price drop for at least 10-12 months (most likely) and we're getting very close to the start of that infusion of quality games we've all been waiting for. The ONLY think preventing me from buying one is my lack of an HDTV. If I had one, or my family had one, I'd have picked up a PS3 a month ago. I know it's plenty fun on SDTV as well, but I really just want to play the thing on a HDTV from the get-go. I'm just waiting for the right brand/unit/price combo...

A note on the PS3... I'm a little more preoccupied with waiting for the PS3 to be packaged with a rumbl-enabled controller, which is sure to happen before an possible price drop.

I went the route of a new gaming PC instead of a PS3. But now that I've seen my great new monitor in action (with HDCP-compliant DVI ports! Woo), I really want a PS3 to go along with it.

Now is a great time to buy one considering there's no price drop on the horizon. In fact, wait until Intel's quad-core processors get a price drop and get a new gaming PC and a PS3. :P

know what I say?

if you have to think abou tit or ask others, don't get it.

Cause if you do you may not like it or will not give it a chance. You should have your own views. Friends are key factors in this too.

I just say wait until september or october and get it then, whether there's a price drop or not, at least by then there should be a larger choose of great games for the PS3. I also have a 360 with a ps3 and a Wii, and I'm puzzled at the fact you say the 360 library of games is "NOT MUCH BETTER THAN THE PS3". You can't be serious. 360 nearly triples the ps3 in availble games and have way more AAA games than the ps3. Other than maybe 3 games, the ps3's library has been subpar at best while the 360 have a hugh selection of great games, plus they have games out that people with the ps3 are sitting back and drooling over like Graw2 and R6V. So you statement is way off base compare the gaming library of the 2 systems, so next time maybe you shouldn't bring up the 360 when the guy was just asking whether he should by the PS3 now or lata.

There are some great games that are coming out in the fall. I think sony stated that there will be no price drops this year. I recommend getting it now. I play my friends PS3 all the time and the games that are currently out are awesome. I think the game library will keep you busy until the fall.

make up your own mind. if you have important things to do ie, go to college or taking some extra class, buying a car or something like that, i'd say wait for it. if you don't have anything important to do but still not sure wether you want to buy it or not, i'd say save your money for emergency. if you really want it and won't whine or mind waiting, then i'd say get it now.

AHAH I got lucky cause my girlfriend got me a ps3 for my birthday, i'm a real nerd cause I have the 360 and wii and an hdtv, I'm not rich I just saved and saved.  Here is what I think, the ps3 is going to be great, as soon as more games arrive, I truely believe that.  right now I love my 360 and sorry but its lib is MUCH bigger then the ps3, but I actually like fall of man more then Gears and I enjoy F1 and moto and VF5.  I just see alot of potential and I think I'll probably like the ps controller more for sports games.  However, at this point the 360 is still the best system, but some great games are comming out just for the ps3 last summer early fall.  ANyway, if I had the 600 extra bucks and didn't have a girlfriend, I probably would have gotten it, even if right now there are only 3-5 games out that are GREAT for it.  I hope that helps alittle.

Forget the pricedrop, because it's not coming anytime soon. Yes, I think you should get the PS3 now.

Get it in the Fall thats when we'll have good games. I got mines since launch and waiting while 360 users are bashing PS3 users. Get it in the Fall so you don't experience the drought.

Yes get it now since you have the money before you spend it on something else. There are already good games out there and we are close to the time of when the more awaited titles come out. This would be the perfect time to get one.
