The only reason I ask is I don't want to go spend $500.00 and sony pulls a dreamcast on my arse. Are they going to keep at it or die. Honestly after seeing Killzone 2 it makes me think that PS3 has longer legs than the Xbox graphically. Has there been any word on them quitting because if you google it most articles are from 2006. anything new
Look at the library - there could be enough games that you'll like that'll make the system worth it regardless if it dies in the future. If not, don't buy it until there are.
its definately worth $400, you get wifi, 80gb hard drive, free online, wireless controller, and the best games and awesome blu ray, its worth every penny

thats another reason i am thinking about buying the PS in contrast to the Xbox, the xbox has no- free online, wifi, or blu-ray, i am just alittle scared that sony might back out like sega did, i was one to buy the dreamcast and be quit on. more than likely i am going to buy one, but i just hope sony doesn't back out on me. to get screwed once is to mistaken to be screwed twice is to be an idiot.

I say yes! especially if you are interested in it's games. The only thing is, you may want to wait for a price cut (if you are patient), I know I would kick myself if I bought a system only to have it lowered in price in the following weeks. Oh, it will not pull a dreamcast on you Sony has made it a point to support their systems for over 5 years (PS1/PS2 is proof of that and PSP is still being strongly supported)
Ps3 is the best console/value this gen without a question
lebanese_boy
Too expensive = no expensive =/= value the value variable is more subjective though sme people couldn't care about wifi or blu ray, for other it could be a crucial decission
I thank everyone for there participation in this thread, Another question I had is the PS barely showing its true colors, because Killzone looks remarkable and MGS does too, I am one to like shiny things, I realize that the xbox has reached its potential graphically is the PS still bringin its true graphics to life?

Too expensive = no expensive =/= value the value variable is more subjective though sme people couldn't care about wifi or blu ray, for other it could be a crucial decission I think theres value in a $200 Arcade, since it can play 90%+ of PS3s library (multiplats) at half the price.

But if you intend to play those online with the 360 it will start to cost you more in 4+ years, I use each one of my systems for at least 5 years (before PS3 and PSP since they have not been out 5 years).

OMGoodness, do people seriously think that Sony is gonna give up on the PS3? Or is everyone just in on some internet joke that i know nothing about. How is selling more than the competition in the same time frame at a much higher price considered failure?

I think if it is not announced at E3 (or already in effect) then it may be till the holiday season if then.

Hey look! $400! exactly, microsoft pulled a fast one with the $200.00 price point, I remember buying my 360 i had just enough to get the console and a game, i bought oblivion and the guy at gamestop told me i wont be able to save my game, without another $100.00. I was kinda let down, because the xbox is touted as having the same capabilties as the PS but falls short in a few ways.

I was kinda let down, because the xbox is touted as having the same capabilties as the PS but falls short in a few ways. Plus, you aren't getting a blue ray player on top of everything. PS3 is clearly the better value for the hardware itself. Now the question is, will you like the games?
Another thing you might consider is Downloadable titles. Some of my favorite stuff on the PS3 has been the DLTs (Mostly because, during the school year, I don't have much time to play a disc game, and DLTs take a significantly less amount of time to play.)
I say that both the 360 and PS3 are worth buying. The PS3 is a very reliable console, the Blu Ray player is great (assuming you have a HDTV and are willing to invest in Blu-Ray movies), the exclusives are fantastic for the most part and the console is sleek, sexy and quiet.
In-built Wi-Fi, Blu-Ray, 80GB HDD, great games, gorgeous visuals; definitely worth the purchase if you've got the money.
I have made up my mind I am going to get a PS, but one more thing I like the games, Resistance, Killzone, and MGS, What games do I have to look forward to in 09, I have been a xbox guy up until this point, so i have no clue of whats next.
I was hesitant to buy a PS3 at first too (owned a 360 for a year before I gave in) but its a great system. There is a solid amount of quality games already out and a promising lineup ahead. I really don't see the PS3 dying out considering how long Sony kept the PS1 and PS2 running.

Infamous, God of War 3, Uncharted 2 are exclusives that are set to come out sometime this year. Haven't payed too much attention to upcoming games (been busy with WoW and RE5).

I'm personally looking forward to Fat Princess and InFamous. The former is a strategic multiplayer capture the flag game, and the latter is an open world superhero game. Other than that, I'm not looking at much (I don't need a host of games to keep me satisfied anyway though.) Based on your tastes, I recommend you check out Uncharted (Like a cross between Gears of War and Tomb Raider) and possibly God of War 3.

That's fine (I got one as soon as I could, so I will not get on you for being inpatient). I don't think you will regret getting one, I just hope you don't end up regretting the price (but I don't regret buying mine for $500).

I don't think i will because i plan on taking full adavntage of the system, I don't plan on buying Blu-ray movies as much as renting them. I went to hollywood video and they have specials sometimes where blu-rays are free to rent, the guy said it was a promotion of some kind.
Just like to says thanks again, I got to go, be getting me my PS next pay check I have 500 bones but am gonna wait til i can Killzone to go with it. again thanks and see you on the flip side.

Nice game choice. It'll last you a good while with SP and MP.
If you're worried about the price, I think I heard that Sony's gonna cut the PS3 down to 300 bucks. And Sony itself is working at it. But I think it's the third parties that are actually providing the vast majority of good quality games.

It's definitely worth it. Don't get it though for just one game. I remember I was craving for an FPS, and got the PS3 a few months after launch just for Resistance. Check out the games on GS and see if they interest you. It's also a blu-ray player and has built in wi-fi unlike the 360. I also think the price is just perfect when you compare it to the launch price of $700 CDN.
