I will finally be getting a blu ray player and maybe killzone 2. but even thought i can afford a Wii, it wont make sense since i already have a gamecube. does anybody else refuse to get all 3 even though they can afford it?

I refuse to buy another PS3 out of distaste for Sony and how my previous PS3 broke on me -- i can easily afford it, just that I already own a Blu-Ray player now... so what's the point anyways?

Not sure what caused it; could have been an update. It just decided that any disk I put into it, be it PS3 game, Blu-Ray movie, CD, DVD, PS1 Game, whatever. It wouldn't read it. Sony gave me the big F.U.; and lucky for me, I couldn't get my ****ing PS3 replaced because, Sony and all their infinite wisdom, decided to discontinue the 40GB model so I couldn't get Best Buy to replace it. Wonderful.

If they could afford all 3 consoles, who the hell wouldn't buy them?

Probably because everyone has their own specific tastes in gaming? And why buy a console which doesn't suit your needs as a gamer? Simple logic, wouldn't you say? :?

Yeah, that's one of the reasons I don't have the Wii anymore. I didn't like the games. I have everything else though.

I do have the money for all three. But, I'm currently happy with my PS3 and 360. I could only see myself using the Virtual Console feature on the Wii. The system and the games just don't appeal to me.

I easily have the money for all of them, but I don't really have time for a WIi with both HD consoles and both handhelds. And it doesn't have an awful lot that interests me.

I have all 3 of them and I don't regret it, my PC gets more play, but I have the option of playing ALL exclusives because I own all the platforms.

I own a Wii and a 360. I had a PS3 for about two weeks but was so dissapointed by it I returned it and got my cash back. I'm really happy with my 360. The Wii though? Not so much. It's more of a dust collector right now than anything, but maybe someday they'll pump something out that's worth a purchase. If I had the dough for a decent computer I'd probably be playing that more than either of them.

If cost is not a factor for me, I would get a Wii, a PS3 & a decked out "gamer" PC. I just don't see the point of getting a 360 when I have to risk RROD plus pay for online play & DLing demos. No thanks, I don't care if I get demos a week or a month earlier or being able to subscribe to Netflix & stream movies, I shouldn't have to pay more to play a game I've already paid $60 for. Yes, it has exclusives like Halo 1, 2 & 3 plus any Halo extension games, Fable 1 & 2, Gears of War 1 & 2 & Ninja Gaiden 2 but I can play it on the PC. I'll probably get flamed for this but I'm just answering a question.

The Wii would be for my girl & family. While the PS3 would be for me, plus a home entertainment center for the family, ie. blu-ray movies. The decked out PC would be for everyday use plus play games on Steam & whatnot.

I really don't see the point of getting a 360. Even if I got one for free, I don't know if I would want to commit to using up living room space. If I got one for free I probebly would donate it.

Agreed. I really don't have the desire for another console when my 360 has satisfied my gaming needs just fine.

I'd rather use that money on something else. I don't need a gaming PC or 360. Really, a PS3 and Wii are enough for me.
