I bought my PS3 in October of last year. The first console I had owned since getting an original playstation as a gift. Was a strict PC gamer for all my life, father was a computer programmer in the 80/90s so of course I grew up playing games on a PC. I think my thoughts were very similiar to yours, good exclusives, I was originally most excited about Final Fantasy XIV but thats currently back under development. I have been loving DC universe online, which is also now free to play, so definitely check that out too, and uncharted, god of war, killzone, little big planet all have taken many hours of my time. But the big deal that cemented my choice for PS3 was the free network. Buy a PS3 for $249.99, and you'll get at least 2 more years of solid thoughtful development by sony being put into your system. At $124.99 a year or 13 bucks a month, your never gonna find a better deal for entertainment.
