The 3 weeks of fun that Final Fantasy 12 has given me says that the PS2 was a great machine. No BC = Pass.

Buy, probobly.

I've been on the fence for the 360 or PS3, but the price drop REALLY helps. My intire house runs on Wi-Fi, there is no way for me to have a system online through cable. And the 40GB has Wi-Fi built in... so let me do the math.

360 Pro 20GB ($350)+ Wireless adapter ($100) +Orange Box ($60) + 1 year XBL ($50) = $560

PS3 40GB ($400)+ Wi-Fi (built in) + Orange box ($60) + PSN Home (Free) = $460

Simple math, and with the extra money, I can buy more games.

The cell phone game is in development yes, but rumors are starting to circulate that there is a true Parasite Eve game coming to next gen consoles as well.

Pass, if you're already buying an expensive machine, spend 100 more to get the vastly better model.

I don't need another 40gigs. PS2s are everywhere, I don't really need BC.

That's just me though.

Exactly. The USB ports aren't worth it either....

I saw that (besides no BC)they took out the memory card reader. What does that mean. Does that mean I can't save anything to a memory card - If I get a PS3 and my friend does too, I won't be able to take game saves or rosters over to his place?

Thanx.

If you've been waiting this long...now's the time. Sony's really stepping up. I'll end up buying it as well, but I'd like to have a rumble controller as well on my first day...so I'll wait JUST a bit.

Big time pass. You can get a 8800 gts for like $330 AR. Or a 2900 pro for $260!! flash to xt and you are set. And soon, NVIDIA and ATI will release their new cards!!! 8800GT, which almost matched a GTX on 3Dmarks06 and Ati 2950 pro, both for $260ea. No brainier, 10x better technology. Pos3 not worth it, wait till 09

Pass.

Not interested with any PS3 sku's since the console has NO games right now. But things may change in 2008. I think 2008 is more promising for PS3. And I'm actually hyped about Killzone 2.
