If you're a gamer, chances are there's a Sony PlayStation 3 on your wish list. And while the game system's initial bugs (games freezing and problems with set up) appear to be fixed thanks to a recent upgrade, there are still a couple of reasons to hold off owning one. Specifically, there are a limited number of new games available and the system carries a steep price tag. Currently, there are only 32 new PS3 games for sale at Sonyforbidden are on backorder, and 13 can be pre-ordered for when they are finally released. (Many release dates for new titles keep getting pushed back.)

If you're simply looking for a fun game system, you can find a Nintendo Wii (try eBay) or Xbox for around $400. You could also simply wait for more PS3 games or for the system itself to come down in price. Want to learn more? Click here to read more about the gaming wars.

Amen to that brother. Or sister. And since the casuals have moved to the Wii or 360, PS3 has nothing left but hardcore gamers with 600 bucks to spend on a gaming console.

Only Yanks use AOL so who really cares, plus they are not professionals in the gaming and electronics business so their arguments are not valid. Nothing but petty excuses, not to mention they were probably paid off by a certain company to bash the PS3 even though its a more reliable console then the 360 in terms of quality.

Only Yanks use AOL so who really cares - People who live in N-America, AKA the most important market when it comes to games

plus they are not professionals in the gaming and electronics business so their arguments are not valid. - Casuals wont know that

Nothing but petty excuses, not to mention they were probably paid off by a certain company to bash the PS3 even though its a more reliable console then the 360 in terms of quality.

People who use AOL play videogames?DireToad

People actually use AOL? There are like a zillion ISP companies out there, only poor people actually use AOL though, you would have to be a tool to actually enjoy using it. I remember the first internet access I had was Sympatico dial-up, back when AOL used to advertise here in Canada and they would send everyone their disks in the mail. Me and my friends used to burn AOL cd's or use them as flying disks and stuff.
