I'm gonna have to get one, but I'll definetly wait. Release games have a tendency to suck, and I don't want to have to camp out to get it. Either way, a second mortgage will most likely be involved.

I can't switch systems now because PS has Silent Hill, Devil May Cry, Wild Arms, and Romance of the Three Kingdoms...

If I get another system I'll have withdrawals..

LMAO, no need to kid. That was a multiplayer game ONLY. I'm one of those Goldeneye type ppl... or unreal tournament.

Anyway, If I get this new job... I will buy a PS3 hands down.

*starts humming "when you wish upon a star"*

Can add me to the list too I guess....

I'd love a PS3....in 2010 or 2011....when talk of the PS4 begins. By then the price of the better PS 3 will be down to a more manageable $250 I'd hope.

You will be able to buy it before 2010. It will definitely be cheaper before 2008

I hope the price is worth it...

I doubt it. Maybe after two or three years.

Word of caution.
Never type "second mortgage" into your computer.
After I did that, I checked my e-mail and had 121 messages all about refinancing/mortgages/escroe all dated to be from jan 12, 2038. Getting e-mails from the future is cool, but not if they're about mortgages.

Well no one knows anything just yet, until the lauch happens then maybe we will have a reduce price after 6 months.

I'll buy it... in about a year after it's release.

I'm telling you. The price is alot easier to swallow if you go to gamestop and put one in reserve. Just pay every now-and-then when you've got a exrta cash. By the time it comes out, you will owe a managable amount.

The problem is, gamestop aren't taking reserve requests yet. It's to the point I want to reserve a place to reserve a ps3 whenever the ps3 is reservable... *sigh*

he is right, but its 500. Its supposed to be the pc killer and I think this would probably kill the pc gaming community.

I really don't think a console should ever replace a computer. If for any other reason that a console is to play video games. Nothing more. You DO NOT need a console that has an IM. I can't tell you how annoying it would be to be really into one of my games and have my conroller flashing in my face because someone wants to chat (refering to xbox360). That is what a PC is for.

Now I understand the internet connection for online playing.... but that is just about as far as a CONSOLE needs to go. Honestly a console is as good as it's games... giving it bells and wistles to try and impress the gamers is a futle attempt for publicity.

Yeah it shouldn't replace the pc unless its for people that don't have any knowledge of pc's.

I'll wait until there's a must have on the PS3...

At this point, FFXIII doesn't even interest me.

Yet on the Wii, I'm intruiged by numerous games, especially that DBZ fighter, the upcoming Bleach game, and that Pangya golf game... the intense backlog of titles...

My household just can't afford both a PS2 and a Wii. $600 bucks is insane(and I'd want the higher model since it'd probably pay off in the end).

I want my game consoles to be about GAMES. Not a ton of useless features. The only feature I could understand was the DVD player in the PS2, and hell- it gives me a DVD player for college.

Money is also the reason I won't buy a PSP. $250 is too much... I don't need dinky UMDs to play on it, they could have at least made 2 versions... one that plays games, and one that plays UMDs and games. Add the fact that they won't port remakes of games on the PSP without 30% additional content in the States, and I get rather angry. I heard Japan got a port of Breath of Fire III on the PSP... and we won't be getting it since there sn't 30% more new content.-_-

Thats why you can just buy a memory stick and you don't have to worry about carrying around umd's. I still need to buy a lcd screen this week or next week. I want to use my psp to listen to my music and play my iso's again.

There's actually a chance that the Wii will wind up costing that much. All of Nintendo's consoles have cost $200 at launch so far, but things are getting more expensive.

You can import Breath of Fire III from the UK. Can't remember if it's out there yet, but it will be possible to play an English version of the game.

It's true that the Wii has released plenty of upcomming games. But there are a few for the PS3 that are not to shabby. Such as Devil May Cry 4., Endless Saga, any FF title, Half-life, a working title for Metal Gear solid, metal of honor, silent hill 5, Unreal Tournament 2007, Soulcaliber, and some sonic the hedgehog title... it's grounds enough for me to get a ps3

Oh and there is always the off chance that square enix might go through with the ff7 remake

You know alot of fans are going to get the ps3 when they hear about the remake
