Oh FFS, can you not use your own brain and follow your own preferences? For crying out loud how few people are there nowadays who can actually make decisions for themselves. Here's the low-down. Look around on the internet, watch the game video's and stuff. DO some research on the upcoming games. if you like what you see, get it. If you don't, don't. It's really THAT simple. Do you honestly need someone to hold your hand and tell you what to think? Sorry, don't thinking I'm directing this at YOU specifically, I'm just ranting because I'm just so sick and tired of "convince me to buy a PS3" threads. You have a brain, use it to make your own decisions

I have a ps3 and I don't even own a game for it.  I wish I would of waited to get one so I would recommend just waiting before buying.  I'm not trying to be a jerk but I feel that ps3 just isn't worth $500-600

Well, if you want it for games...you might want to wait. But if you want to take advantage of the additional multimedia functions... it's worth getting now!!!

Should you grow a brain? YES

Should you get a life? YES

Should you combine the two and *gasp* MAKE YOUR OWN CHOICE?! (My god! The thought of such a thing!)

Who would've imagined that eh?

I purchased PS3 with simple reasons

Blu-Ray player
MGS4 and FFXIII
Free online service

I just usually choose system that has Final Fantasy series. That usually worked.

lol...I have to agree that some of the responses are harsh, but this question  has been asked a million times. Some of us are just frustrated by this question. The information is out there, people should do their own research!!!

Yes, you should buy a PS3 in the future, but not now. Wait for some must have games come out. There's nothing worth play right now imo. My PS3 is collecting dust.

It's not that. It's just that every day, there are at least 3 of those threads. "Convinnce to buy a PS3, convince me to buy a PS3, why should I buy one, convince me". It's only natural that the people on this board get tired of such posts over time. But yeah, the best advise still is: check things out for yourself, look at the games, look at what the console has to offer and then decide. As far as I can tell: the only downside to the PS3 is the price. If you can get over that, and things look interesting to you; go for it. Just be sure what you're doing.

buy it and then buy your games off ebay. I got resistance for total of $43.30 and and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance for $35.35. Both were used but they look brand new. its better then paying $60 imo.

reasons to buy PS3:

- extensive list of upcoming games, check out "All Games" on GameSpot under PS3
- pure technical performance - the Cell processor offers a lot of bang for the form factor
- Blu-ray disc format , which is advantageous both for quality movies and software that has rich media
- PlayStation Home!
- the SixAxis controller, which is an evolution from the DualShock.. it feels great in your hands and it has motion support
- Wireless 802.11 is built into the console, no need to buy an external adapter
- Cool and quiet performance
- The GAMES!  SERIOUSLY! LOOK AT THE UPCOMING GAMES SECTION
- Statistically reliable product for the most part
- Sleek and shiny design

etc.

Buy one if you've got the money and an HDTV.. you seriously shall not regret it

if you need to be told why you should buy a PS3 then you shouldnt get one.

Not necessarily. I had to find out why I wanted the PS3. I had to play one, research what I would potentially be buying, and then go get it. No one should really have "hand holding" come into the procedure unless there's a sales rep whose commission is on the line. None of us have any kind of a vested interest in this guy. I had a vested interest in myself...so I looked into the PS3 so I wouldn't end up wasting money. I bought one and realized I didn't waste my money. Prophecy fulfilled. Anyway, if you cannot muster the interest in your own $600 then you should not be allowed the money to make this kind of a decision on your own. I think you should get a caretaker of some kind, someone to feed you and tuck you in at night, rather than a forum full of hand-holders.

Sigh! No one forces anyone to reply to or read the threads here. Those that were moderated for trolling or flaming knew what the thread was about before entering - the topic is quite clear. If you dont want to be civil to the TC then dont post ... go to another thread that has some interest for you and leave ones that dont to people that dont mind trying to help. There will always be threads like this in system forums. They are not all started by users trying to troll. Flaming is *never* permitted on Gamespot - even in System Wars where there is a minimum 7 day suspension penalty. There is certainly a case being made in this forum for a similar "zero tolerance" policy. Bottom line - if you cannot be civil then do not post.
