I am saving money to buy a PS3(yes i have a job). Should i wait for a while or buy it ASAP? I don't know if RFoM is the only good shooter, and i love basketball games. If i wait for a while i can hold off until some more games come out or a price drop. I own a Wii, and no i am not selling it.

You should wait until the end of this year. The game list for the PS3 is nowhere near stellar enough in order to justify that kind of expenditure. Unless of course you have disposable income.

if you like shooters and bball games, technically the 360 is a much better choice. I know people may not agree for some reason, but it is bascially a well known fact that 360 shooters are better than ps3 shooters. As far as sports games go, they are basically identical on all systems.

If that is all you have to spend money on then go for it... because a price drop is highly doubtful. Sony is losing $200-250 for each system sold.

Oh yes, my suggestion to you. Spend as much money as you can before you have to start paying for post-secondary. Being a poor university/college student sucks for us gamers.

I couldn't tell you. None of the ones for PS3 coming out this year interest me. Go take a look for yourself. You should be the one making that decision.

Wait a while, let the games that you're looking forward to come out and get reviewed, and by the price will probably be lower (even if only slightly). You don't really need one now if there aren't more than 5 games currently out that you absolutely must play.

If you are going to get one just get one. I don't see a price drop anytime soon. Might as well pick one up with Resistance, Oblivion, and Motorstorm and just wait for the new games to come out.

           Just out of curiosity, why are you not even considering the 360 right now ( b/c of the games ) and at a later date; when PS3 has more games, than get the PS3. Specialy when it seams this will take major cash from what you must have to budget for your gaming wants and needs?

how?! please elaborate.

my mom got me a job at Pottery Barn Kids to do the stock room. I work freakin early in the morning, like 5:30 A.M. to 3 P.M.. That's probably my average time to work. $7.50 an hour, minus taxes of course. I guess it is worth it though.

If you do end up getting a PS3 you should definately but Motorstorm. While I've only played the demo, it's a really fun game. As to whether or not you do get a PS3, I've got no answer for you. It depends if you like the games the PS3 has right now, and if you're interested in it's future releases.
