Persuade you? Why not do some research on the games that are out, and that are coming out, and see if they interest you enough to buy one?

Nobody should be able to persuade you to buy one, you need to gauge your interest in the machine and it's software, then make a decision.

1) It doesn't break, it's actually a quality product!

2) It looks expensive and slick.

3) Gran Turisimo, Final Fantasy, Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted, killzone 2, Haze, UT3.

4) Free online.

5) Full downloadable games like Warhawk & Socom.

6) Huge back catalog.

7) Blu-ray IF your into HD movies.

8) Home.

9) Eye Of Judgement IF your into card games.

10) Sixaxis is pretty fun IF you have the patience to learn to use it well.

There you go must be something in there.

That's more than enough to pursuade anyone to get a PS3, unless you already have made up your mind and try to troll these forums.

Dude, take that money and buy games for the 360 and about 10,000 Wii points, or spend it on her, either way you'll have more fun.

Or just wait and see how far the price drops. Unless you've just got to play one of the games out now, wait and see what shakes in 2008.

Its an expensive decision I don't blame him for asking for opinions.

The fact that it doesn't come with an external power supply the size of a console like the 360 does... ps3 is worth it

Agreed. If you need to be persuaded now, you should not get one.

The only reason I can think of is if you want a blu-ray player....which for some could be good enough. The 360 and Wii are better gaming machines right now though, by far. Also, Sony has made too many changes and price drops in the first year....why rush in an pay top dollar for something that could change tomorrow? You'd just get burned like the other early adopters have.
