I actually was going to buy an Xbox 360 becuase basically everybody I knew had one, but I went with the Playstation because I'm familiar with the controller, the games are going to be great, online is actually pretty good considering it's free. i'm not that excited about the whole Blu-Ray thing, it just doens't impress me. PS3 rocks, though.

The fact that it looks so sleek and nice. And I wanted my first actual console(not counting handhelds) to be something to last long and be powerful.

I have a PSP(Remote Play)

Did I say it looks nice?

It is a complete media center, and goes well with my HDTV.

Many of my friends have it.

It also looks very nice.

It had a bunch of stuff that I needed with it like wireless internet, HD format, media slots, and mostly, free online, i also like its games, and for all the stuff the PS3 comes with, the price is pretty cheap, and It's probably the best media center unless you want peer to peer programs, but yeah. For me, it was either a 600$ PC or PS3. So PS3.

I didn't really choose it. My dad surprised me with it two Christmas' ago. But I would've eventually got it anyway because I just like how powerful it is and I just thought it looked cool and shiny.

Ipik_Fenris

I was interested in the console due to it being the most expensive one out of the 3 next gens. For I believe that you get what you pay for. In the december that past I got a HDTV a nice sony bravia and needed a bluray player. I saw what bluray players can do at the showroom and needed one. Being 16, the logical choice for me would be a PS3. It has intense gaming, strong graphics, and this time the most important feature well atleast to me a full bluray player. The 5 free bluray deal didnt hurt either.

Originally I bought a PS1 first gen. Then I chose xobox over ps2 next gen. I was always insanely jealous of all the great games that came out for PS2 ( mostly the RPGS ) so this time around I went PS3.

Also the controller > the 360 controller times infinity.

The wireless internet access is a huge plus for me as well as the online gaming being *free*

I have two friends with 360's that have RROD on them and that affected my decision alot as well.

The PSOne was my first ever console so I have been a faithful fan of PS all of my life pretty much. I'm only 13 if you're wondering.

Well aside from games and bluray, I chose the ps3 mainly because of the reliability, the sleek look of the console, and other features like free PSN and Wi-Fi, lets just say I trust Sony's hardware :).

Well Altho i like Halo and the 360's controller better. the PS3 was only $280 brand new for me so it was cheaper than an Xbox and It has no RRoD. Also i had a Wii and altho im going to miss SSBB (like seriously ache missing it) I think ill live (or buy one later when Wiis are actually in stores)

The fact that I have PS1, PS2 and that they never failed on me and that I love PS brand.rogerjak

The same goes for me. I've been a Playstation customer for over 10 years and I'm only 19.

That and the fact that I'm completely anti-halo due to all the braindead people who make up it's fanbase.

Exclusives, Backward Compatibility and the fact that I buy everything. Bluray was not a big selling point for me as I already have an LG Superblu player for that.

I have been using the PS brand since the N64 days and I always have been satisfied with both, the performance and library for the system.

i have a 360 as well and a ps3 the reason is reliability to start with it just runs so much better then a 360. Has really great games with plenty of great ones still to come. it is much better value you dont nickel and dimed for everything like you do for a 360.
