Why should I buy a PS3?

I own a gaming PC, a 360, and a Wii. Each of them offers me something different. I'm a rather stingy gamer, in the sense that I mostly play AAA games, with the occational AA or less title. The reason is simple, at 23 years old, and having been gaming hardcore for the past 13+ years... it takes a lot more to impress me.

So, the meat of questions is. For me, why should I pay $500 for a PS3? Since essentially, the equation for me is:

cost per game = [ System + (cost per game) *number of quality games ] / number of quality games

For all you non-mathelites, the equation essentially means. How much are you paying per quality game, if you factor in the cost of the system.

When I look at this equation, I think to myself. If I bought a PS3, the only games that even mildly interested me is Ninga Gaiden sigma and Resistance. That means, at the moment, the cost per game is about $326. That is crazy.

To me, it seems like the PS3 won't be worth it for maybe another two years. In other words, when the system costs a lot less and it has more exclusive AAAs.

Note, that had I not had a PC and not had a Wii... the same situation would exist.

EDIT: Due to the lack of understanding, in regards to the direction of this post, I will clarify. This situation I have painted describes the situation many customers face. In essence, this is pretty much a rhetorical question.

You really have to answer this question for yourself, as no one here can tell you what games you like to play.SpruceCaboose

If everyone only thought like that...

Let me answer your question with another one. Why do you own both a gaming PC AND a 360? The PC plays almost all of the 360's good games.Onizuka36

Way to go off-topic. However, I will reply to you only once so as not to derail the thread. The PC is good at some games, the 360 is good at others. I play RTS, MMOs and FPSs on the PC. I play everything else on the 360. Then they both have their exclusives. So no, having one would have not been enough.

Good Question the anwser is

Been gaming for 24 years and I dont go by scores. I go by what games excite me. If you've been gaming that long you should know by now that some of the best games are very underrated. PS3 does have good games like Warhawk, Resistance, and Motorstorm. rockydog1111

i agree :)

right now there is only 2 reasons to buy a ps3

1 home

2 to wait for mgs(and if your dumb you can wait for killzone 2 which will be another 6.9 type of game)

Don't!

No one gives a **** what you do. It seems like you've already made up your mind so stop waisting peoples time by asking"why should I buy aPs3"when you are just going to reply telling them why you don't want it.

I'm not asking for advice fool. I am starting a debate. I'm sorry your reading comprehension hasn't evolved past middle school level. Stick around though, you might learn something along the way.
