Is it really worth the time right now? Now im not sure what I want to do. And like all intelligent people, what better place to turn for my issue then system wars. I thought I was sold but now I need alittle reassurance. I can get it brand new for $300 in the next hour so s it worth investing in as of now or should I hold out on it for a while longer? :question:

I'd say get it now, there isn't much to think about when buying a PS3. You get a BluRay player, free online, all that jazz. Get it.

not worth it apart from the fact that it's a terrible system, they're releasing a slim version soon which will undoubtedly be cheaper

At that price you can sell it back as new on ebay and make a profit. You just can't open the box... heh

It'll be cheaper? Even though he's already getting it for $100 less?

It has more than a few worthwhile games, so for that price the answer is a big yes.

Yes. Now. Even if you hate it(which is very unlikely), you can sell it on Ebay for more than $300, even opened.

If you have the money get it. You won't regret it. I can't even begin to conceive how someone would regret that purchase unless you just buy it and never play games on it (which I know many people do since they keep saying how they use it only for Blu-Rays WTF! I personally use most if not all of its features and it has become the media center on my house, even more than the PC and I have a pretty good one).

:D Didnt think it would be this one sided. I guess I will get it then. I was going to go with teh 360 since it was $100 cheaper and I wouldnt be broke but I can probably take a loss for the PS3 instead. I wasnt sure if the price drop was going to come this year or not.

I just got of off inFamous and the Uncharted 2 Beta and must say.... I do not regret my June purchase. MAG and U2 are day one buys for me.

And at $300?!?! What are you waiting for!!

The $200? Not worth it, this version does not come with a HDD, and the way it seems, lots of future Xbox games will require a download (which will require a HDD), and you really do need a HDD regardless. So the 60GB Xbox 360 is $300. Your choice.

Do you have a hdtv? Do you have a broadband connection in your house? Do you have other game consoles? Just getting a PS3 may sound exciting, but if you are not going to get the most out of it, i would not bother getting it.

There's no excuse for PS3 multiplats to look slightly worse, blame it on the devs. Only a few multiplats are better on PS3 though. I don't plan on buying PS3 multiplats until most of them look as good as 360 ones, or better.

Some games on the 360 look slightly worse but it's not so bad it ruins the game in either case.

And I don't like paying for a slightly inferior version of the same game on a powerful system, which is laughable. I don't mind paying for Live, at least it's once a year for $50. PSN isn't as good as Xbox Live either.

Since you have a Gears display picture, im going to guess you already own a 360. But, if for some reason you don't, I would buy that over a PS3. It's just a better gaming system in my opinion.

lol, no... I've only seen one multiplat that doesn't have much better textures/visuals on the 360 version. Plus the 360 has the uber ergonimical controller made for shooters. How can people contort their hands into the wierd shapes required to use the hat switches and both analog sticks on the PS3 controlller?
