I sure do. It just sits there, collecting dust. Its a great machine, but it just does not offer anyhting great, yet. The march line up is ok, but its not as great as everyone makes it out to be. Anyway, I'll still keep it, but I wish I had waited for better games and features. The 360 and Live are just unbeatable.

Yes, Resistance was great, but after that it got boring fast. But when some good games come out im sure my mind will change.

I don't think many would be willing to admit regretting a $600 purchase but I can understand why they would, but each to their own, if they're satisfied with their purchase then that's all that matters. I've played my mates PS3 and was underwhelmed but he loves it so its all just down to personal taste I guess.

Thats fine to have an opinion... but that doesn't make it fact.

I love my PS3 and dont regret buying it for a second. There are some seriously great games comming to it and I think it's a better system then 360 by far.

I think ppl that own both consoles are growing board of their PS3. But those that only own the PS3 are actually doing pretty good with.... They haven't played a lot of those games that you all played on your 360.

And for those that don't have a 360, the March line up is pretty great.

Talking bad about something you bought when all the information, analysis, and news is out there is the ultimate in self-ownage...

I own both and I wouldnt say that at all. I still play my PS3 pretty regularly. Probably a little more then my 360. I would like for more games to get here but im not in any hurry. Between Resistance, RR7, Gears, MGS PO, and finishing all the hunts in FFXII I have plenty to do for another month or two.

When I first saw ps3s sitting on the shelves in Target I was a little dissapointed that I didn't sell mine on Ebay, for a very large launch day mark-up. After beating RR7, UL, and Res, all I played on the ps3 were sports titles, with the occasional Res online. Since they added the firmware patch, I am very happy that I didn't sell, as I am playing ps2 games in a much nicer 480p.

Finally we will be getting a few games soon, and the long wait will be over. The only thing I am worried about is how long F1, VF5 (no online), and Motorstorm could hold me over.

So you're saying that those games were worth $1700 just to play them a month earlier...?

I love my PS3. It easily pwns my 360. My 360 has become an old dusty heater.

I only own resistance and FNR3 and ive played them 10 times as much as anything on the 360(including gears of war).

Its just so much more fun.

I regretted it so much i took it back before I even opened it. 746 of my Canadian dollars were not going towards a console with one game. I know more are going to come, but how long will it take?

I don't own a PS3 but I know one guy that does.  He beat Resistance and now all he plays is FNR3.  He doesn't own a 360 but he asks me about it almost every single day.  He won't admit it, but you can tell he totally regrets his purchase.

I'm glad I got it when I did and got it out of my system. If I had waited until march (when all the games come out) I'd be going crazy right now. Also, I got to use a 20% off discount that was only valid through December, so I got the system for $400.

It would be an awsome bonus if it wasnt the only thing the system is good for..... I would rather say the video game play is a bonus for a low priced Blu ray player which is retarted because its means spending more money to buy all of your dvds over again but in blue ray

I regret buying a Wii if that means anything. My $300 Zelda machine FTW! -sigh- But I'll be damned to think that my soon to be PS3 purchase is but an utter waste. I'll enjoy every bit of it along with movies and games that I will invest for future entertainment.

This thread is kind of ridiculous.  I regreted my 360 after I beat COD3.  Nothing else seemed fun until oblivion came out.  Now it's great.  The PS2 was much better at the time.  The same thing right now is happening with the PS3.

Some of you guys forget that for a lot of us this is our first next-gen system.  So we've never had a chance to play games like madden 07, nba 2k7, fnr3, and tiger woods 07 or any other multiplatform games.  I don't regret it at all!  I've been playing the previously mentioned games a ton but I'm really enjoying playing Resistance.  I already beat it 5 times and the multiplayer has me hooked!  Maybe if I had a 360 before I got the PS3 some of these games would be old, but this is my first chance to play them and I'm really enjoying it.

I remember seeing a lot of threads like this about the 360 back when it first launched.
Hopefully it will look a lot better in a year.

im really glad there were no consoles left on launch day cuz i would have made a big mistake buying a ps3, spending ~700 bucks on console + game + taxes. instead i spent less and have more fun by picking up a 360

I dont regret it. Of course, I cant wait for VF5 and Motorstorm to hit, but that doesnt mean i regret buying just becuase there is one month with nothing coming out. Wouldn't you regret buying a wii too, it hasnt got anything? What about 360, it didnt get any games during this time either. Just wait, and god forbid you have a wait a couple of weeks.

no i dont. its been out since November and you guys are giving up on it already? I love resistance and look for to march and the rest of the year. Giving up on a system 3 months after launch is stupid, IMO.

What people should focus on if they really want to compare the 360 to the ps3 is what the 360 had at launch. When i look at the launch titles/potential and compare it to the launch titles/potential of the ps3 i know i made the right decision with the ps3.

I agree right now the 360 has better games but its also been out much longer. If they came out at the same time i don't think many people would have bought the 360 over the ps3.

When I do buy a PS3 I won't regret it. It'll easily rock big time in a year. You know, like the X360.
