Big seller for me was HD compatibility, and free online. My hate of Microsoft was a contributing factor...as was no support above 480p for Wii. Games like MGS4, Resistance, Final Fantasy and etcetera have me highly intrigued. I'm all set for a bright future with this shiny box of HD compatible joy.

Bit of loyalty. I've had a PSX then a PS2 from launch.

I've toyed with the 360 (but the achievement things were messing up my way of gaming. ie playing 40 matches in FIFA against the same Mexican team, is a ridiculous thing to do, but I was doing it).

I also want the Final Fantasy's and F1 games, and as well as taking advantage of backwards compatability. (Then I read the article about this, literally 15 hours after trading my PS2 in at EB - but it was over 6 years old and can't have had much life left in it).

Multi zoned gaming was a buzz. Now I can grab those US college and baseball games which never reach PAL territories.

Blu Ray was another factor. I believe it will out shine HD-DVD, look at the studios backing it. So the combination told me the PS3 was the way to go. The sixaxis motion side of things is a put off though, so happy to see games are not making us use it compulsory.

Same. I'm going to own a Wii in the future to accompany my PS3, so that I will have the best of both worlds: technology AND innovation.

I bought the PS3 mainly for three beloved franchises: MGS, FF, and R&C. There would be FOUR beloved franchises, but unfortunately the Jak series MIGHT NOT appear on the PS3...I hope we hear something about this franchise...I WANT IT REKINDLED, DAMMIT!

I chose the PS3 because I've always had PS stuff from the original PSX and I have a massive library of games.  I also had an X360 and sold it to a buddy of mine shortly after (found out he had to trade it in due to the red lights of doom) because I wasn't really happy with it at the time (remember 'The Outfit?').  Even thought it's opinion, ever since getting the PS3 I know I made the right choice in next-gen videogames.

From previous PSX and PS2, I know the games will be fantastic and that Sony  and the 3rd party devs will deliver on the game front.

Thats why I "chose" a PS3.

Primarily the games, but also a bit of brand loyalty. I got a ps2 about six months after launch and i played that baby almost as much as my pc (and that says a lot considering i primarily play rts games). While i love Nintendo platformers, and Zelda: TP spurred me to get a Wii at launch, the GCN honestly didn't get much loving from me last gen (well, just not as much as my ps2 and pc did). I didn't even buy an xbox last gen as the only interesting games for it were Ninja Gaiden and Halo, but Halo just barely as shooters tend to bore me.

So far i own a Wii and a ps3, and if the 360 gets games besides shooters, i may think about picking that up as well, but the lack of non-shooter games, the faulty hardware, and the fact that it's made by M$ will most likely keep me away from the system.

I feel the same about the Jak games. Have you heard of Jak & Daxter: The Lost Fronteir? Go check it out on IGN if you haven't. Apparently SCEA filed a trademark with the US Patent Office for the name "Jak & Daxter: The Lost Fronteir". Here's to hoping they'll actually make this game, and that it won't be for the psp. :D

I have had a Sega Mega Drive and then I bought a PS2 -Sega don't make consoles anymore :cry:)- and now I feel that the logical step up for me is the PS3, oh and Sony supports their console for like 10 years so I feel right at home with them plus they have my favourite games :)

I want to get one for the games but I think that first I'll get a new computer then after a few years when the price drops significantly I'll get one. But I'll admit some of those games really do look good.

I'm getting one because of the following reasons: -3rd party seems to be pretty equal between the 360 and PS3 (as far as support levels go). However, MS is notorious for porting its games to the PC- I'm not PC gamer, but if all Games for Windows require use of the 360 controller, I'll just play them on my PC. -I've never owned a PS console before for longer than a few months. In other words, there are tons of games I've missed. I can name 10 PS2 games off the top of my head that I REALLY want to play. The fact that I'll be able to play them all and buy them at cheap prices is great. -Sony impressed me last generation with its first party offerings. I don't love all of the franchises or anything, but they're clearly committed to being a top-tier publisher themselves. These games WILL stay exclusive. -Sony actually supports their consoles after the new ones come out. That was my greatest disappointment about the other two consoles last gen- they died as the new one came out (or earlier). While I'd like to think I will always buy a new console on day one, it's nice to know that if I choose to hold off, I'll still have a system with new games coming.

I had been planning to buy one after a price drop, but got one at release in the hopes of selling it to a high bidder. I never got a bid high enough to justify selling it, once taxes and shipping were figured into the equation. So I kept it. I'm enjoying playing ps2 games i missed on it, but I think waiting for more ps3 games to come out would have been a wise decision, especially if you already own a ps2.

Simple thought process? Wii = nah, I wanted HD gaming/movies Xbox36o = I was gonna but the reports of hardware failure were just too creepy PS3 = got everything: good game lineup (obviously not now but soon), HD graphics, bluray disc for movies, and best of all, solid construction (for now...I understand issues may pop up one year from now so far so good. There haven't been any mass horror stories like that one guy who bought and had 7 MS units fail on him!)

why limit yourself to one console? I choose both the 360 and the PS3. I got the PS3 as a cheap bluray player and will enjoy the games once they release some...though resistane was the bomb....
