I'm not sure if I should get a PS3. Here are some games that interests me for the PS3 but I'm still not sure if its worth it. Uncharted Uncharted 2 Ninja Gaiden Sigma Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Final Fantasy XIII Final Fantasy Versus XIII Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm MLB 09 The Show Infamous I already have the following consoles: PS2, Wii, DSi, and a 360. If u want, u can see my current games collection for all my consoles. http://www.gamespot.com/users/nelfer320/games_table?mode=own&sort=platform I also reserved about 5 multiplats for my 360 so I think it counts that I bought it kinda. I don't want to spend money only on games and its a little much spending for 4 systems.

I will probably get one at some point myself, but nothing at this point compells me to make a $400 purchase. I'll wait for the inevitable price drop.

You listed 9 games, so why not? You also get blu-ray and a web browser, and 80 GB space(I only got 40 when I purchased one). Haven't heard of a price drop anytime soon, but either way, it's well worth the price. Now, you can get RFOM and Motorstorm with your 80 GB PS3 at Target. There probably won't be a price drop, but maybe some special deals.

If those games interest you, go for it. The PS3 is a decent console.

it may drop for the holiday. I would say sony doesn't want to have their a$$ handed to them for a 3rd year in a row in sales, right? but my desician stems from the fact that while games like uncharted and sigma are good games, $400 in this day and age (economy etc.) is not practical for a video game machine, especially since I already own a 360 that has been nothing but impressive since launch. I can wait.

Overall from that list is definatly not worth it, given FF13 is on 360

If FF13vs proves to be a good spin off, then that game could be a reason, it is the reason i keep my PS3 even after the FF13 going to 360 shock

Versus XIII is a spin-off? So its not really that important to play if I get FFXIII?

Calling Versus XIII a spin-off isn't really doing the game justice. Its easily Squares second biggest title in development after FFXIII. I just get the feeling it will be similer to Kingdom Hearts. Call it a hunch.

Depends, if you liked the old high vibrand fantasy FF games, then FF13 is the real sequel

If you like dark mature games like Gears then maybe FF13vs will be appealing too

Personally i would stick to buying 360 games and FF13, and wait for a price drop for PS3 first, i am sure FF13vs will come far after PS3 has its price drop

When i bought my PS3, did it for FF13, before i knew would come to 360, if i was to buy one now, would do it when FF13vs actually is in stores

Maybe will be cool for those that liked KH games, but that has nothing to do with FF

Okay so would it make any difference if I buy FFXIII for the 360 and then get a PS3 when the price drops so I can get VersusXIII? BTW, I do like dark mature games but not Gears.

Probably not. But the game is being ported from the PS3, as indicated by many sources. Well... that's a first.:P I didn't even know that was possible. FF13vs will be like KH, but without Disney characters. It looks pretty good, especially if you liked FFVII and the KH series. However, KH is NOTHING like Gears(other than dark art, but Gears has gore and chainsaws and ripping guts, KH is silly, but also has dark themes in it like Organization XIII)

I can't answer that before FF13 actually arrives, i would at the very least wait until then, PS3 may get a price drop by that time

Would be the best to focus on 360 and wait for the games to arrive before getting a PS3 i guess

I brought Gears as example, i mean generally darker themed games, which FF13vs seems to be

Personally i do not like it do far, but we have barely seen monsters and cool places yet, so i am sure will deliver and be a game to buy a PS3 for, even though not close to FF13 for me

Personally, I've always wondered why it's called "FFvs13". Probably a spin-off, I'll have to see how that turns out. But lately, it's been looking pretty cool, so I'll have to check into it at a later date.

I just got one with Killzone 2, Uncharted and MGS4 and its been a blast so far. Blu ray doesn't hurt either :P Home is pretty fun and those games you listed seem very much worth it and of course GOW3, MAG, VS, and inFAMOUS. But the price is kind of steep but it seems worth it if you take into consideration all of the features if offers.

I would recommend getting a PS3 as it seems you are really interested in many of the PS3's exclusives, but if you are concerned about the price I would just wait for a significant price drop to fit your budget.

I'll get it when the price goes down a bit. Its that theres so much games that I want to get this year for the 360 and Wii so maybe until Versus XIII comes out so I can get that and the other games I mentioned.
