Being a PC gamer like you, the only difference being that the PS3 is the first console I'll own ever, I find the PS3, despite its higher price tag to be more bang for the buck. For one thing, it doubles as a Blu-Ray player. Another is the exclusives as I find most games that include 360 also come out for PC anyways. There are a ton of PS3 only games, such as MGS4, Uncharted 1 and 2, Demon's Souls, God of War 3, Heavy Rain, Killzone 2, and Resistance 1 and 2. There are also a few multiplatform titles which are not on PC such as Condemned 2, FF13 and Marvel UA 2 so I guess you can either use 360 or PS3 for that. I think you should definitely get it, mine arrives on Tuesday! =Dspiderman120988

Blu-ray is a definite plus to owning the console, I love the blu ray player on my hdtv, just amazing. There are numerous exclusives that are alone worth purchasing the console. I think MGS4, Uncharted, Demon's Souls, and God of War III (soon to be released) are enough reason to own a PS3. I'm not a fan of the slim's design but oh well, it's a great console. Plus, I believe the PS3 uses laptop hard drives so you can easily upgrade it to whatever size you like.Ghost_702

Yeah, welcome to the other side. :P By the way, why are you passing on LBP?dk00111

ps3 is diffrent than the other consoles,it plays blu-ray, free online, life with playstation ( for checking weather and fold at home), there is home which is a really intersting feature where you can chat with friends and other people, check free eisodes etc and the games ah the games are just amazing on ps3 you shouldnt miss games like MGS4, uncharted, ratchet and clank, wkc, ff13 and many more, you said it yourself, you miss the ps family so join them, its now cheap, get its exclusives and enjoy the its very worth it and im one of the early owners of the system

Hi

I really feel like i've skipped sony so far in this generation, after owning ps1, ps2 and ps2 slim (and a psp but that is another story).

however i've yet to buy a ps3, reasons... plenty, got a xbox 360 and a gaming pc with a GTX 285 so i am well coverd by games. but with the slim at $299 (2700 NOK) its suddenly becoming worth it just to play trough MGS4, and alot of other sony games i've grown to love over the years.

but i want to get psyked for christmas, I really want to want this, in the way that you cant wait for christmas, currently i do not, i need to know about the perks of owning a ps3. how it is compared to x360 isnt all that important.

But what is your favorite feature of the ps3? games currently on the wish list

MGS4

Uncharted 2

and that new ratchet and clank game.

is there some must have game im missing? LBP, is a no....

yup.. turning sli off did the trick... a single 9600gt worked flawless in endwar(high @ 1680x1050) no crashes at all...

thanks :) now i'll just hope nvidia releases some windows 7 beta drivers
