I hope that's not an oxymoron... "unbias" lemmings and sheep :lol: :|

But anyway only idiots would deny themselves a whole aray of games because of their blind love for a company. I want to play SOCOM. I want to play Killzone 2. I want to play MGS4... I'm getting a PS3. I was wondering who in here ireally isnever going to get one

I'm lucky because i bought a Wii and a 360, and my room mate bought a PS3. However based off that, i would honestly say that if he were to move out tomorrow i wouldn't replace the PS3.

The Ps3 will no doubt be a console I'll own - it's just right now it does not seem worth it.

When some of the games not available for 360 are on PS3 and are ones I want and a further price drop for the hardware; a PS3 will be mine lol.

I wouldn't say that I'll never purchase a PS3. I probably wouldn't purchase one for at least a couple of years, simply because I'm on a college budget, and I can't really justify owning more than one next gen system, its just too expensive.

I've got a 360 now and I'm not gonna say I'll NEVER get a PS3 because it's shaping up to be a cool games machine and blu ray player. But right now, it's still to expensive and it still doesn't have ANY games that I personally would like to play. Most of my favourite games are multiplatform i.e. GTA4, Pro Evolution Soccer. However I like multiplayer games hence why Xbox live is so fundamental to my gaming lifestyle.

I would love a PS3 but it is expensive. It cost about $600 for the system plus one game since the sell tax for a ps3 is kinda of high. I really haveother things I would like to spend $600 on, but here is hoping to getting a roommate with a PS3 that isn't a hog.

I don't game as much as I used to and my gamings tastes have changed, so I'll say that it's unlikely I'll get one.

I understand people that want to, but it's just not for me. Just like the Wii is not for everyone.

I love the PS3 and I think its gonna have a great lineup. I'm just never going to buy one, mostly because of price and most if not all my gameing needs are fulfilled with the 360 and wii.

Out of all those you mentioned, MGS4 is the only one that remotely interests me, and oh wait, now I can get that on the 360.

ps3 has the games coming but my big problem is how can i support 2 consoles with games? i won't even have enough time to play both and beat all the games.

small example..

assasin creed $50

virtua fighter $50

Mass effect $50

blue dragon $50

Lost odessey $50

Halo 3 $50

bioshock $50

Kingdom under fire $50

that's 8 games = 400

it's like telling myself either buy a ps3 with no games or 8 great games.

now let's say i decide to buy a ps3 i would have to pay $500 + ninja gaiden $50 + FF13 $50 + Heavenly Sword $50.

that would equal out to $650 with 3 games.. what you rather get 8 great games for 400 or a new console with 3 games for $650.. note: if i want to have all i would have to spend $1,050 and i'm being nice with price because i'm not even counting taxes or the real price of games which are $60 each.

my brain says to go for the cheaper altelnative.. get 8 great games first and then when ps3 goes down to $200 ;) if it ever does buy does 3 games for ps3 at the bargain bin. i'll spend about $650 if i do that.

if i would buy a ps3 first i would spend about $800.. plus priority of which games i want first like blue dragon and lost odessey which will be getting purchase as soon as they come out.

I'm not...I don't feel like dropping $500 for it. There are a couple exclusive games that seem interesting to me, but not enough to justify a buy. I could put that $500 into other things I'd rather have (like saving up for a new laptop, vacations, etc.). As of now, I'm really happy w/ my 360. Also, I honestly don't have all that much time to play games. I barely have enough to mess around w/ my 360, so it doesn't make sense to get another console. There are a couple other reasons why I probably won't buy one, but none of them have anything to do w/ "fanboyism".

I don't have a whole lot of money, even with a price drop the ps3 is one pricy peice of tech, that combined with the games I can find for it alot are for cheaper consoles... That's my main deabte with ubying a ps3 at this moment.

It would take a good coop/party game for me to want a PS3, I'm talking Halo quality here. Because Halo was really what got me into the original Xbox. Killzone looks great and if it gives a good 4 player coop I might get it.

Right now and in the immediate future there is not a single game for PS3 that I want. I hate both the FF series and the MGS series. They are overly dramatic, emotionally constipated pieces of Japanese poo. I think those Japanese developers need to take a laxative and let it go.

Im in the exact same threat you are in. I may get a PS3 in 2 to 3 years, maybe. But it looks like i'll be busy playing X360 games for a while. Now, if i didnt have a job andother things to do, i might have the ability to have 2 consoles. But i am very happy wiht my x360 and its games.

Nope. I'm proabably never going to get one. I just don't have time or money to buy a PS3 and all of its good games when I already have a 360 and Wii that I have to buy games for.

I have learned to never say never... so I will say that I am almost 100% positive I will never buy a PS3. I have played on my friends, and I have played my 360, and I simply prefer the 360.

I'm not going to buy one, I already have a real BLU-RAY player in the Panasonic DMP-BD10, and nothing on the PS3 is worth $500-600. 90% of all games this gen are going to be multi platform and the 360 is almost always going to get the better version of the game. I'd rather buy games with that $500-600 than a doorstop which is what the PS3 would be in my home.

I don't want to sound like a troll but in all honestly I don't ever see myself buying a Ps3, even with a huge price drop the 500 dollars isn't what bothers me it is the lack of games that interest me. Sigma is awesome but I've already put over 200 hours into Ninja Gaiden Black, Killzone 2 looks great but can't hold a candle to halo 3, and so on a so forth with generally most of the games. The only game I think I will really miss is FFXIII.
