I know I am :D I will be buying the 40gig $400 PS3. Ya I know it doesnt have PS2 compatilibily but oh well it's not a big deal to me. There is ALOT of games coming to the PS3 both exclusives and multiplats and I know for sure I am not going to be able to afford them all let alone have the time to play them all. Home looks cool as hell as wellI can't wait to use it.

Now for the features of the PS3 wow where do I even start, There is alot but the main things that really grab my attention is the Blu-Ray drive, Linux OS, Wifi, Playstation Network and the SIXAXIS controller even though I know alot of you call it a gimmick or whatever but I actually like it.

But ya so how many of you plan on buying a PS3 next year?

If the price comes down still another 100 bucks I might start to consider it. But the Wii and 360 honestly have more games that I'd want to play.

Make it cheaper (even with the price cuts it's still too high) and put out more compelling games and I might bite...

I already own one (launch) and couldn't be happier. It's a great, reliable system with, what I feel, are wonderful games. Plus... can't beat playing with friends online for free :D

So 399 is ok for the 360 but too high for the PS3? :roll: 399 is fine and people need to lay off it.

$400 is pretty damn cheap for what you are getting with the PS3.

From my point of view, the PS3 has hit a price range that falls appropriately into the console gamer demographic. XBOX360 owners can no longer call the PS3 an overpriced system when it is pre-equipped with more features than the now "more pricey per hardware component" XBOX360 Elite and Halo editions. I don't really care about what Wii owners have to say, since their games are quite different from what the Microsoft and Sony companies offer, in general.

I'll wait until April / May and see where the competition is. PS3 is holding me back due to the lack of a decent games library (which is changing now) and the XBOX360s are holding back my paycheck due to the infamous RROD(which should be resolved, I hope, in the next 4-6 months).

Until then, I'll happily stick to my good old PS2, enjoy my DS, and enjoy my PC.

I'd prefer the 360 price lower too. The difference though, is the 360 has more games that are worth playing, so the price is easier to justify. Right now, I'd struggle to think of 5 games that I truly would want to own for the PS3, so it would have to be cheaper and/or put out more quality titles to snag my interest, like I said.

Maybe not next year since I doubt FF13 will come out next year. So I would say 2009 somwhere in the middle.

Then look harder, I have a wish list of over 30 games for the PS3 and 30 for the Wii too. The games are there, you just need to look for them. And 399 is a fair price for both systems.

399 is not a fair price for the 360.. It should be 299 at the mostfor a premium system..

If only PRICE was the only issue :roll: throw in some great next-gen graphics that the 360 couldn't do, exclusives that aren't 10 years old or simply lame sequels to lamer prequels *cough*The Getaway*cough*, some real reason to buy it over 360 (and not just cus it has blu-ray, some people want to buy into a console not a format war :roll: ) and then i'll think about it.

No. I can't think of many games I would want on it. Maybe that will change or maybe it won't but the type of games it's getting don't interest me too much, the exclusive ones anyway.

I might buy a PS3 if GOW3 and team ICO project received AAA reviews and didn't flop like other games most likely it will be on 2009 because 2008 lineup doesn't impress me i never thought i may not buy a PS3.

it's cheap enough, dude.

honestly for what it has in it you're freaking lucky to get such a good deal.

and with the games out next year it's like getting 50 million free pies.

I might in 09 if there are more big games worth buying for it other then ff and mgs4. I am sure there will be by then, but I will be happy waiting for them while playing my 360 now.

I most likely will, if I can find a used system for $300 or less. Hopefully some 20GB or 60GBs will be floating around on eBay or amazon, or even retail chains at reduced prices.
