i had the money after i did my taxes last year and i saw online a circuit city store had a couple available. so i went to the store later that day before it closed to see if it was still there, they had 1 left, so i bought it. i kept going back and forth on whteher to buy it or not and then about 15 mins before they closed, i caved in and decided to go for it.

#1 - Exclusives: Ratchet and Clank sold me. Future releases further established my resolve. (LA Noire especially)
#2 - Techology: Blu Ray > DVD, Mandatory HDD > Optional HDD (allows for programming with HDD in mind
#3 - Pokemon Spirit: Gotta Catch 'em all! I have the trifecta and then some now.

I already had a 360 and Wii. I may as well get a PS3, plus last E3 showed Killzone in-game and that made me a believer of its hardware and sold me.

Besides people on PSN are MUCH nicer than the ones on XBL.

The main reason I bought mine was as a Blu-Ray player, but I quickly discovered games that I couldn't live without. Assassin's Creed FTW.

I got mine because my 360 started to scratch my games, and because I just need to have MGS4 when it comes out. If it weren't for those two things I would not have bought a PS3 yet.

Mainly for the blu-ray right now. There's not too many exclusives on it. Cross-platform games I usually get the 360 version. But that should change as soon as developers start figuring out the system more, because the 360 is a piece of crap. I like my 360, but being on my 4th system for something i paid $500 for is unacceptable.

I think I bought mine to play Videogames, oh and Blu Ray porn, duh.

On the real tip, LBP sold Sony to me. It's officially my first Sony console.

Many:

- need a new gaming machine to replace my aging PC
- need a new dvd player cause my current standalone dvd player won't play half the movies I rent from blockbuster.
- free online gaming
- never owned ps1 or ps2 so it is like getting 3 consoles in 1.
- Warhawk, MGS series, LBP
- Singstar as a karaoke for wife.

I'm counting on a surge of better games - in the future.

Right now, I am waiting on FFXIII, FF vs. XIII, and White Knight Story, in particular.

For me, there were several reasons why it made sense.

1. I had bought a 1080p DLP television and needed a better system. I had ps2 and one before it so why not have something that could play all three types of games. It was my TV purchase more than anything that had me make te move.

2. Oh, by the way the blu-ray player was a bonus.

3. MLB The Show, Assassins Creed, Oblivion.

4. The most underated feature, bulit in wifi adapter.

5. FREE Online access.

6. The place I bought in from gave me no interest for 18 months on it. I also bought the remote, two controllers and three games with it.

I would have put that as my reason, but it would seem the 360 has more JRPGs than the PS3 so far, lol. (Excluding in Japan)

The main reason? Thats MGs4, with out a doubt. I just cant not play this game, after all, MGS3 was by far the best game I have ever played.

At some points I did think about getting a 360...but then I realized there are only a couple of games on that system that actually interest me and they weren't as good as I thought. Plus I'm a huge Sony fan and their franchises interest me a lot more than other systems plus they do new things with their systems soooo I got a PS3 for the new games as well as old games sequels which will become next-gen and free online.

Free online gaming, FINAL FANTASY XIII! Blu-ray player...other future releases such as Killzone 2, White Knight Chronicles, Star Ocean 4, The Last Remnant, MGS4, Haze, Resistance 2, Jak: The Lost Frontier, Rainbow Six Vegas 2...it's going to be allllllllll good...oh and the big franchise seller, God of War III might be one of the biggest games of the decade.

I bought one because I wanted Ratchet & Clank and Uncharted Drakes Fortune really badly. Also having Motorstorm as a free pack in game helps too. Man Motorstorm is awesome! What a great offroad racing game. I then had to have Virtual Fighter 5, Sega Rally Revo, Rainbow Six Vegas and Skate. Another thing to. I was tired of getting faulty Xbox 360 consoles. I went through three of them and now I have nine Xbox 360 games I can`t play anymore/yet/again.:cry:

Games, Games, Games! Oh, and Blu-Ray.

X360 crapped out (RRoD), M$ rips its customers off on the new hard drive ($180 for a 120GB hard drive - Come On, M$, how can you charge $180 for something that only cost $55)

You can change the PS3 hard drive with a normal one and not some over priced proprietary piece of crap. Thank you, Sony!

And lastly, Better Games, Games, Games! And of course, Blu-Ray.

I actually bought my PS3 because i really wanted to have some friends online and play with them on resistance, or warhawk or something, but none of my friends really have PS3's, and the few friends i have on PSN i rarely ever play with. So I guess i'll just use this a selfish way to see if people would like to help me start a union where we could all like have online tournaments in some games we have and just general discussion.

Sorry I don't want to like spam or anything, but I really wanna get this going. Just ignore me if u want to lol.

I was on my 3rd 360 and getting sick of shooters so I traded it in and picked up the last 60Gb they had. I think the PS3 will have more games that I like.
