It's $1000.00 here (about $880.00 USD), which is why I will be waiting for late 2008. No way im paying that now so it can just sit there collecting dust for the next 10 months!

Maybe if White Knight Story turns out to be good, and they don't screw up FFXIII for me like they did FFXII. I couldn't care less about MGS4, but Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, R&C, Resistance, and Killzone 2 will all add to the temptation next year. That is, of course, if I have time and money once I'm done buying 360 games.

Edit: I should mention that I do not consider myself a lemming because I do want a PS3 and do plan on buying one. I just need more games to justify the purchase. I do prefer the 360 though thus far.

Hehe, same here. I am a Lemming by accident - went out to buy a Wii and got home with a 360 and 10 games :D Good system though, reminds me of the Dreamcast. When I buy a PS3 it will be my first PlayStation EVAH!

I have never bought more new games for a console in my life. Granted, that may be because now I have more money to do so, but I've never felt the same desire to do so either.

And when you get your PS3, you should definitely put the BC to use!

No, I'm not going to pay $600 for something I think I'll barely use.

FF13 won't be next year. Maybe in Japan by late 2008 but not in the West.

Hell no! Nothing would justify the purchase of a second console for me. 360 has everything I need...

I am not a lemming, I just dont like how arrogant sony was/is, thats one of the reasons I didn't get a ps3 at launch. I think I'lle get the console like at the end of next year..after all the repectable games comes out for it and the price goes down.

I only have a 360 now, and I'll probably get a Wii by the end of the year. Then a PS3 next year sometime. The 40GB version doesn't do much for me because of no B/C, so at this point for me the PS3 is still $600 with no appealing games.

I MAY get the $400 model when it hits the U.S but I'm not holding my breath. The problem is that the PS3 isn't going to offer me anything I can't already get on my 360.. for now. The only 2 games I want to play on the PS3 right now are HS, and Uncharted.. The rest can be considered "fillers" but those "fillers" are in the same ballpark as the 360 games I already own.. I'll wait... But I know I'll get one when MGS4 hits..

I already own Xbox 360 and Wii, I won't get a PS3 until probably 2011 when its really cheap and alot of the games are $20-$25, maybe even cheaper.

I don't plan on jumping into the next-gen right away, i'm going to wait atleast a year or two into it like I did with this gen. So with that year or 2, i'll purchase a PS3 at probably $200.

Maybe in 2009, but then again, if my 360 still works I don't really see the need of getting one.

Depends on the 360 line up. The sony exclusives barely interest me...

Eventually.

Right now though, I'd rather save my money for the many Wii/360 games I have to buy.

Just sold mine about 2 weeks ago. I figure with the PS3 I'll be a 'late to the party' gamer with all the games and pick one up when it gets down to $200-250 in a couple years. With 360 and Wii I already can't keep up and for the most part I would rather have been able to watch BR titles than HD-DVD, but it was a small sacrifice I can again, be late too and not care much instead of being to to 'wait', I just figured I'd make the most money I can back now and then look into it a couple years down. Sony probably will hate people like me, cause I'll be a 'used' gamer and BR renter.

Wish there were an extra 8 hours in the day or something, though, cause it was a decent system. Just don't have the time for the trifecta.
