Really? I haven't decided yet. I have a bunch of 360 stuff, but I just lost my second one in six months. Stick with it? Move on? Maybe I'll buy a PS3 for now then buy a 360 again when/if the bugs get worked out.

I was interested in the PS3 Slim, but any interest I had died when the guys at GameStop and GameCrazy told me that there wasn't any backwards compatability. Oh, guess I'll stick with my frist generation 60GB PS3

Pretty much yeah, I was hoping for a price drop. How stupid are you, how much do you think it costs them to put a blu ray player in there? Whatever it costs, people buying PS3 are paying for it, you make it sound like its a "freebie", and the majority of people wont ever use it. I'd rather buy a dedicated Blu ray player for a few reasons I wont go into, (Remote, noice, sound quality, not wanting a console)

They put Blu ray player in there so they can sell more blu ray dvd's
Blu Ray players cost anywhere from lower 200s to upper 300s in USD. So if you're a gamer (and conclusive evidence points to the legitimacy of that assumption), I can't imagine why you'd pick a regular Blu Ray player over a PS3. There's no difference in the way they play blu ray movies.

They put a blu ray player in the PS3 because PS3 discs are blu ray discs in that they need a blu ray player to read them. Put a PS3 game in your computer and tell me how well that works for you.

I may if I can get some spare cash, or if it's an acceptable Christmas gift. I mainly want LBP, Infamous, and the Uncharted stuff, so if that's all that'll attract me, then it might be a no-no until it gets cheaper.

I'm still waiting for them to design a new controller that gets rid of those squishy triggers.

This poll blows.

Why do I have to be a fanboy/hate Sony to not want a PS3?

Why can't I just not want one?
So very true, this poll is terrible.

I have an Xbox and feel there is no need to get a PS3, I guess I must be a fanboy.

Is there no option for "I've always wanted one, be I can't afford anything over $20 anyway, so screw this console generation."?

Now that it is a bit cheaper, I am more inclined to go find a job to be able to buy one. Still though mostly I am waiting for news on the new Kingdom Hearts game before I fully commit to buying one.

I was really looking forward to getting a PS3 but then I remember that I would still have to upgrade my TV to be able to play it to a decent quality. So it's more like: Hey you took down the price on the system; too bad I still have to pay close to $1000 for a TV to support it.
Where do you do your shopping, 2002?
I bet you'd be really peeved to have to pay $150 dollars for an hdmi cable.
And while I didn't think it would either, the ps3 actually looks good on an sdtv.

Also your poll sucks a bit, since for all opinions against buying the ps3 you either call us a fanboy or someone who is still playing on an old system, AND you classify xbox/pc/wii as one crowd which is not nice of you
You're response sucks a lot.
I also included a "I hate sony for..." which isn't necessarily a fanboy thing, this might suit you as it's a sort of general, I don't like their games, I don't like their policy on ... or my favorite, they closed down lik sang. I also left an option for those who think it should be cheaper; or you might want to pick this one if you think you might buy one in the distant future or are of the I already have ... and don't feel the need for one.
Y'know, they only allow you several fields on the polls and I used every one.
Sorry I couldn't read all your minds and customize it accordingly.

I'm still not buying one until there's a game I want on the PS3 that I can't get on the 360. They could drop the price to $50, and my opinion wouldn't change.

If the slim has the same hardware as a normal ps3 then ill just buy the cheaper one. Then I will have a 360 AND a PS3, ensuring I can get the best exclusives :)

That is why I'm never getting a PS3.

I have a friend who refuses to get it without the BC too.

It's pretty retarded but I don't think we're going to see any sort of BC again until the ps2 stops being profitable.
Maybe they just don't realize how important it is for some people.

Yes, definatly. I even made a thread about what games I should buy with it. The only thing I'm not quite sure about is whereither I want a regular PS3 or a Slim one.

I might think about getting one. The only problem is that the exclusives on the console don't really appeal to me. The main reason I would get a PS3 is if my PS2 bricked(that way I could play my old games while getting a new game for the PS3 every once and a while), but as far as I know the newer PS3 models aren't backwards compatible with PSX/PS2 games, so I'm really not sure at this point.

Oh, and you might want to think of changing your poll answers around. Two of the "no" options are really one sided. I gave my major reason why I wouldn't get one, and it has nothing to do with console loyalty or hatred of Sony.
