The Playstation 3 is nearing release and the question on a lot of people's minds is, "Is it worth it?".  Well, is it?  Who knows... But what I will say is that it is a blu-ray dvd player a major bonus when you figure you would have to buy that separate with any other system.  Bringing total home media player cost to a high.  Whether or not blu ray will catch on or not remains to be seen, it still could go the way of the HDDVD and be added to your XBOX for a price.  The games for the PS3, however, look like they might have some statis over that 360 because they worked on it for a whole other year.  Strange it is that XBOX came out after PS2, but their new system came out before PS3.  The one thing I do not like about the PS3 which was one of their bigger announcements of "the show", is the motion sensitive controller that does NOT rumble.  People debate the rumble feature, but I personally like it.  I like it better than motion sensing.  Motion sensing seems like it is just one more thing that can go wrong with your controller.  Especially if it is necessary for game play.  This is think is the biggest downfall to the Nintendo Wii.  I probably wont get one because of it.  Although, the Wii managed to work rumble into their Wii-mote.  They show all the people in the commercials jumping around their living rooms with the Wii, and somehow I just down see people doing that.  I dont know, maybe Nintendo is going to start the Wii-diet program or something.  You play games and jump around so gamers aren't fat anymore.  I probably sound fanboyish about the PS, but honestly I never owned a PS1, I was all Nintendo till the PS2 tilted my favor.  I have owned all the current gen systems and I still dont go for the XBOX.  It was the last one I got and the first one I got rid of.  I just wish the Cube had more titles that were up to their ability.  It is getting branded as being "kiddy" and not for the more serious roles.  But their best games were Mature titles (minus Zelda) like Resident Evil 4 and Eternal Darkness.  I digress.  I think PS3 is going to be my way to go, especially with the High Def goodness (another mistake of Nintendo) I will be able to pull out of it.  It might cost more, but it should be worth it in the end.
