When it costs about £100, I'll buy one, but until then I'm perfectly fine with my lovely XBox and shiny Gaming Laptop and Nintendo DS.


...Also theres no cames I'd play on the PS3, unless, per say, Persona 5 was on it.

i reallly reallllllly want ratchet and clank. i've been slowly dying since i moved on from the ps2. and after all... to shut up the 360 fanboys that might be on here...

how many games on the 360 can you not play on a pc/ps3 combo. very very freakin few

a good pc and a 300 dollar ps3 is the logical gaming combination. mathematically. since the 360 is still about that price. factor everything in and a logical mathematician will tell you so.
That's what i've been saying for the longest time.
The only problem being there aren't really any games on the PS3 that are worth owning that aren't also on the 360 and PC anyways. So it goes both ways.

I'm preordering it, I know I'll get a 'talking to' but frankly its 50 bucks more than a Wii and I already have the other two. Plus this way I can play the 3-4 games worth actually mentioning on it.

I'd have spent that 300 bucks on something less interesting anyways. Already spent a Sixth of that on a damn uniform for my job ... ... ... ...

That is why I'm never getting a PS3.
Yeah because people aren't selling Like New copies of the 20 and 60 PS3's that had the hardware built in to play PS2 games all the time on Amazon for barely any more than the newer non compatible ones.

No really...it never happens...not even 5-10 times a day.

I already have a PS3 so this really doesn't apply to me, but if I didn't have a PS3 then I'd probably buy one now.

Boohoo. Buy a Ps2 for 99$ and get over it. Or do you want Sony to deliver it to your door with your gold plated slippers too?

I stated a reason why I'm not getting a PS3. It would be like saying the system was too expensive, or I didn't like the library of games. I didn't even sound like I was whining.

Maybe I should shut up now, you may just be a troll.

I just checked Amazon and the 80 GB was about $120 more expensive with backward compatibility. Unless by 20 and 60 you meant 20 and 60 GB. I'll check that just in case.

EDIT: 60GB is about $90 more expensive.

Of course. I offer you a solution for your BC dilemma and I get labeled a troll. How nice. I don't mean to offend, but you seem like one of those people who wouldn't buy a ps3 even if they put BC back in, but instead would find another tiny flaw to pick at. All i'm saying is buy a ps2 if all you car about is BC, and buy both if you want next gen.

Well all of the consoles have flaws. I never said that none of them did. The 360 dies a lot and the Wii has a small library of games that I am interested in. The PS3s major flaw is that it has no backward compatibility.

I would have bought it earlier as well, but it was out of my price range at the time. Also, I lost the whole "suggestion part" when you told me to request some golden slippers.

Only if my 360 dies. I might get a PS3, pawn all my 360 games, and trade them in for some good PS3 exclusives, but its doubtful.

The slim doesn't merit a purchase other than to jump onto the environmental bandwagon and reduce the size of the big Black Knight; the PS3 (prior sentence pronounced without pause).

Well, considering 11 people actually voted for ANOTHER price drop, you can't really blame me. Some gamers are too greedy. And considering you wanted ANOTHER thing to be added onto the PS3 (BC) you kinda seemed like one of them. I'm happy they're still selling ps2's.

The price is okay as it is. I just want backwards compatibility.
Well, it isn't happening, so all i can recommend is a PS2.

I am more likely to get one now, but still wont, but mostly because I am low on funds. I would get the slim, cause I like flat systems. Well, flat topped. That curve annoyed the crap out of me.

Pendragon: You were the first one to taunt/insult someone.
YOU'RE the flamer. I don't care what your argument is. Leave thread now.

I have to admit I've given a bit more thought to buying a PS3 than some other people. I am VERY turned off by the 360's "pay for multiplayer which we're not actually personally providing" system, and moreso turned off by the Wii's failure to interest me at all. Many titles are on the PS3 anyway.

But for now, I'd say I'm fine with my gaming computer.
