Ok, I asked this question on the PS3 forum and got modded, sorry for posting this on the wrong forum. Honestly, I'm in a bind of sorts. I feel that my PS3 could easily be replaced by a DVD-Player that up converts! I bought a 99 dollar DVD-Player that up converts my movies and honestly the quality is good. I bought the Best Buy PRP and if I wanted to I can take my PS3 back and get a voucher for credit at best buy and use that 450 buck so spend on what ever else I want i.e the rest of the 360 games I want this year. This is the Kicker thought, I honestly feel that PS3 isn't going anywhere and HOME is eventually going to come out and when it does I'm going to kick myself for getting rid of it. I know I could just re-buy it if it does but that will prove difficult since my wife isn't a gamer... anyone with a wife would understand! Any way I'm not trying to hurt PS3 owners feeling here so just if you could, an honest opinion would be nice. Thanks!

Since you have a 60 gig, you should keep it, since it's discontinued with full BC, those things are like a collector's item of some sort. Get your wifey a Wii though.

If you want the exclusives then keep it. Metal gear, Final Fantasy, Resistance etc

I get all multiplats on Ps3 so it's the opposite for me

I would grudgingly keep it as it is a viable BR player. That is the only reason I personally want one. I do think, though that i can wait for standalone players to get cheaper.

Just keep it.

What you should do is go out and buy Lost Odyssey for your Xbox 360.

This has to be the best response I've seen in this thread so far.

Bottom line....look to the games. If you can get everything you want out of the 360, then dump it. If you want the exclusives that are coming for it, then hold onto it.

*runs into living room, packs up 60GB PS3 and stores in attic*. score...ill be rich in 20 years :P.

seriously...TC....look at the games coming up and the games on it. if the likes of MGS4 and team icos next game and LBP and FF13 arent interesting u then it might not be worth ure while keeping it. but look at the games coming and think really hard because of something comes out and u sold it then u will kick ureself silly.

at the mo im kinda in the same boat....im mostly playing PS2 games and FF7 on it and leaving it to do folding when im away. the only PS3 game im playing on it is uncharted. im not even interested in blu-ray to be honest. the reason i got it was the 60GB model was being phased out of europe and it was going really cheap at the time (500 euro for a 60GB model and 2 games is a pretty good deal imho). still im not trading it in because i know ill simply buy it again when the likes of team icos next project is out and LBP arrive and im sure there will be more surprises along the way that wont come to any other platform.

so yea tc....it blils down to games....look at release lists and reviews and then make a decision. if theres nothing there that gets ure fancy then theres probably little point in keeping it. if there is stuff though, even if its a year away, keep it.

Keep it. Save up some money, and buy an ice cream cone.
Or get a handheld.

If you have a 360, keep it, why sell ?

If you do not have a 360, you are commiting a gaming crime :), and should sell PS3 to get one

Why did you buy a PS3 in the first place? This seems like a flaimbait to me and I can see why you got modded.

You will regret it in just a short time. The system is just on the verge of really gaining popularity with everyone. And the developers are just now getting the systems hardware/software down to what it's meant to do. Also the PS3 is one of the best if not the best Blu-Ray player and DVD upscaler on the market and with firmware updates it will stay that way for a long long time.

First of all thank you, I don't know why I was modded for *trolling* just for asking this same question Here!!!. Secondly I own all three systems. The Wii is my kids and the PS3 (Which was a Christmas gift) is my blu-ray player at the moment & the 360 gets all of my gaming attention. I can't stand PSN because there's no friends list that carrys over from game to game like the 360, the in game chat function is crap and honestly there's no games I'd like to play Home is suppose to fix this and I'm really hoping that the PS3 gets out of its funk, but it just seam like it's gonna!I didn't like resistance but am interested in HAZE and Kill-Zone 2. My biggest quirk with the PS3 is I love the ease of the 360's interface and functionality and I just can't believe how the PS3 didn't pick up on this!

Sell it. Apparently it has no games that you want so why keep it?
