I got mine for lots of reasons but the main one is that Sony has never let me down. I had great experiences on the PS1 and PS2 so I did not hesitate to get my PS3 at launch. Call it brand loyalty or being a fanboy, but the bottom line is Sony knows what they're doing when it comes to consoles.

I've just always liked Sony's exclusive franchises, and the blu ray, free online and six axis count for a lot as well.

wireless controllers that dont need batteries, plus motion sensing sounded cool.

free internet service

hd format support

all the games the 360 cant run, cuz i can just buy 360 games for pc when they come out. that way i have access to everything except wii, and i really dont like wii.

i was a fan of the past 2 sony systems and this was the next step, also it had free online play and the game that made me go out and buy one was Killzone 2. I was never a fan of Xbox, didn't enjoy the games (most of my friends had xbox) and didn't like the feel of the controller.

I bought it for two reasons, the past, and the future. I knew the launch titles weren't going to be that good, because frankly, the PS2 was doing too great, and I knew graphics weren't going to play that much of a role in the beginning titles. So, I knew I had an expansive library of great PS2 titles to tide me over until 2008-2009 when developers figured out the PS3 and started the ball rolling.

Of course the main reason is my experience with the PS1 and PS2 are some of the best I've had gaming. I trust Sony to have some of the more original first party games as well as a strong backing from japanese third parties.

Don't own one YET! But am thinking about getting one very soon (maybe beginning of Spring break) but these are my reasons...

1. GTA IV FOR SUREEE!!!

2.My s****y 360 broke in september after not even a year of ownership. So now I need something (besides my PC) to get my game on!

I bought mine because I knew I would buy one eventually anyway and I like tekken 6 ratchet and clank, FF and some others, so I got one early. I don't believe that just because I am of "mature" age that all the games I must be interested in have to be about shooting and driving cars like the other guy. The wii could be cool, but they dumb things down all the time and don't use the controller to the full potential it could be. It has been a rough road for ps3, but it always takes playstation 2 years or so to really make a difference.

The ps1 wasn't that much different than snes until 97 to early 98 and then you saw what it could do. The ps2 didn't start out that great. It had cool games like armored core 2, tekken tag, timesplitters, and dynasty warriors 2.( when DW was cool) Then it kind of lagged the only games it had were DMC and Twisted Metal Black to hold over. I mean it did have FF 10 and MGS 2 within a year. Now Sony is saying let's do something super huge and not just moderately cool. I would rather play 3 awsome games then 8 moderately cool games.

I mean MS and Nintendo already put out all their big barrels.

The only thing that Nintendo has left is SSMB and Mario Kart for biggies, They have Star Fox and F-zero for pretty good games and also the real zelda on Wii game. MS has ninja gaiden 2, and the exclusive content for gta 4, and gears of war 2. For moderately cool games they have banjo kazooie, too human, and fable 2.

The only problem sony has is that they don't advertise a whole lot and they need to. They need to put down the stigma of having no games and the negative things about Killzone 2 and Haze. They need to start showing why all of their games are cool and advertise a lot. I mean I have seen that lost odyssey commercial like 8 billion times. Resistance 2 rocks, They need to get people into Tekken again, as well as come out with confirmed dates for GT5 the full version and Infamos. they seem to have enough games to satisfy people, but they just trickle them out here and there. All the big multiplats are also coming to ps3. GTA 4, Soul Calibur 4, Tom Clancy, Star Wars, and others. With the extension of blu ray and the announcement of trophies and a new store, why not buy a ps3.

I owned all 3 consoles in the end I kept my PS3 and got rid of the rest. The main reasons were region free gaming, free online, user upgradeable hard drive, blu-ray movie player, in built wireless. Out of those though the main reason was region free gaming, I love imports.

I bought my ps3 cuase i was sick of the people on 360 there all a bunch of kids.....and make me mad..........BoW_Geazy

looks like someone hasn't been playing CoD4 on PSN lately... :P

Seriously though, I bought a PS3 because Sony always delivers gaming experiences that are unrivaled on some level or another. I love games like SoCOM, Killzone and MGS and the only place to play them is on Playstation...

The reason I bought the PS3 is the features it had to offer. Built in blu ray player (don't have to worry about buying a HD movie player), free online, memory expansion slots, and it's the video game console for this generation and the future.

My top 5 reasons

Reason 1. Playstation has yet to fail in quality games and system reliability.

Reason 2. MGS 4

Reason 3. Final Fantasy XIII

Reason 4. GOW III

Reason 5. Every other great game that goes unmentioned.

Something different. Im tired of all the hype and whatnot over XBOX 360. The PS3 has something different with their game selection, but something I cant pick out. And plus, ive grown up with the PS franchise. :)

The games I like and have always played are only on PS3. Im talking about Socom, Final Fantasy, Gran Tourismo, Ratchet. Others are multiplat which are on PS3 anyway. I have to also say why I didnt fall for 360 before PS3 came out: Game selection - odd complaint for 360, but its true. I dont like scifi shooters which eliminates nearly all the 360 exclusive hits. Forza? Might be good, but not as good as Gran Tourismo. The only games I had a true interest in were Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six Vegas. Both are on PS3. Also, no platformer game to speak of. I always like to have one of these around. Playstation has always tried to have something for every type of genre, and, in general, they are better at that than 360 or Wii. Call it the "Jack of all trades" if you will, but its true. Whether you like RPGs, Platformers, Sports, Action/Adventure, Shooters, etc. Playstation has always hooked you up. Games like Forza and Lost Odyssey might be good, but do they not look like copy attempts at Gran Tourismo and Final Fantasy to anyone but me? 360 is gonna hafta learn how to be more original in anything buy scifi shooters to get my money.
