This and because Playstation systems have always given me the most enjoyment. :)I bought it because I wanted it.

Ex-Nintendo Fanboy, I wasn't being satisfied by Nintendo's Wii, so I bought a PS3 for the larger scope of the games and a more hardcore experience.
I still like my Wii on occasion, but the soft stuff wasn't doing it for me, I needed something harder to satisfy my cravings.
i have a 360.
while my Xbox 360 is purely for gaming, my Playstation 3 is a multi-purpose machine. it plays my music, i really like the exclusives that are out and are still coming out.
Xbox might have the sweet exclusive DLC, but the PS3 has more exclusive in-house games in development as far as i can tell. (i'll be pleasently surprised if Microsoft can do a strong showing at E3 this year).
God of War III
Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Final Fantasy XIII
White Knight Chronicles
Metal Gear Solid 4
Little Big Planet
MAG
Uncharted : Drakes Fortune and Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Killzone 2
etc. etc. etc. lots of good games with pound for pound matching in 3rd party support that the 360 gets.
Blue-Ray movies are getting cheaper with each week that passes, but i don't really have all much of a need for it, as i've invested in external harddrives to stream my movies/shows. Only on the rare occasion of a movie i REALLY want like Iron Man or Dark Knight, will i go out of my way to pick up the Blue Ray. Otherwise my leaisure money goes to adding more games to the collection.
Variety is the spice of live! :D
I bought it mainly because I love video games. Also, the PS1 and PS2 sure did provide me a lot of entertainment; so why not get the PS3.
We got our PS3 mainly for the bluray player (as we were getting an HDTV). Then I realized what all that beast can do. I have to admit, I WAS WRONG. I was stuck on 360 saying the PS3 didnt have hardly any AAA games. I got LBP so the kids could play it. I was pretty impressed with LBP, and all the features the PS3 had. One of my favorite features was that with the PS3 media server I could stream just about any multimedia file wirelessly, directly to the PS3 on tv in HD. Awesome for movies. I downloaded a few demos (MGS4, Grid, Uncharted, Folklore, and KZ2) and was impressed by all of them. I got Folklore for my wife and its great. Then...........I purchased Killzone 2 and was like :O . Now I say KZ2 makes Halo look like a kids game, lol. Now I realize how much untapped potiential the PS3 has.

I bought it because I'd had an HD tv for about 5 months, and I wanted things to start looking cool on it. The Wii just wasn't cutting it, visually. The blu-ray player was also a really good selling point. However, the main reason I bought it is pure and simple: God of War III. There's no way in hell I'm not buying that game on the day it comes out. So of course, I needed the console that it comes out on.
well cuz i wanted :) i loved my ps1, ps2 and im loving my ps3 :) plus blu ray:)psyumthat 2nd picture in your sig is so ... weird. You remind me of someone in these forums K1LLr ever heard of him? I bought the ps3 cause: 1) I wanted to see a next gen PES on it, and I was very disappointed that I ended up not buying any PES for 3 years now and instead I got FIFA. Still loving my ps3 though. 2) I watched that famous E3 Killzone trailer and I was blown to pieces. 3) I watched so many next gen trailers and they always played gears with killzone so I thought gears was on the ps3 as well lol. BUT I never had a 360 so far, nothing seems to interest me at the moment on the system except for gears.
Metal Gear Solid 4, Gran Turismo 5, FF13 (we all know how that turned out), free online and the main reason was that the majority of my friends owned one before i did.
the ps3 exclusives are simply better than the 360's. mgs4>fable gears is sick but cmon man that and halo can't save the system. now they just rely on third party support it seems like. plus the ps3 has so many features people don't even know about it that the 360 simply cannot do. once psn is on par with live when its FREE it'll be all over.
thats the main thing holding the ps3 back is psn, once we get cross game voice chat in a party system along with better psn downloads (effin a give us ff7 already! do you not like money sony?)
