I also believe that PS2 is not dead yet... and about getting the PS3, if you're really interested in all those exclusives on the PS3, go for it... but the price is actually BIG, very BIG... perhaps getting it after a price drop can be the solution...

Hoping so. That's why I'm biding my time. For me, my killer app for this thing is built in. I'm getting it because of the Blu Ray player. That and I wouldn't mind being able to download some PS1 games for it either. And ywam the obly thing holding me up now is the price

right now there really aren't any games that make it worthwile to spend that amount of money on it. maybe sometime in the future with titles like mgs4, dmc4, ff13 and maybe some other good exclusive games it's worth to hand over the dough. but right now I don't think it's worth it by a long shot.

I bought a PS3 because I got my first commision check from work and figured I might as well spend the money while I have it on a PS3. Otherwise I'd just end up blowing it on random little stuff like going out to eat and clothes and movies and used games and alcohol and the woman.

Mainly Bcuz of the high price tag . I'll be hanging on to meh good ol PS2 for one more year . By then , MGS4 , DMC4 , Tekken 6 , GTA IV etc would be available on th PS3 and also , the price tag of the PS3 will have dropped . But I seriously wish the PS2 had some good shooters :(.

Reasons why I'm NOT buying a PS3:
Backwards compability issue in Europe (I'm playing tons and tons of PS2 games, would be cool if I could have sold off the PS2 and play them on PS3)
Obviously the price
Lack of games I feel I need to play. There will be some later on (FF, MGS and.. that's about it?) but right now, no thanks.

PS3 is so expensive and its game library is not that interesting yet. I'm waiting for MGS4, Gran Turismo HD, Tekken6. PS2 on the otherhand is not dead yet. Its still fun to play PS2 old games.

Im not buying one any time soon for the same reason Im not getting any of the other next gen consoles. A total lack of software.   Everything is a sequel to something and the only thing they improved was the graphics. 

I want innovation not repitition.

1st - the price is really killing.

2nd - there r crappy games on the ps3. call of duty 3 is on the ps2 as well.  (great game)

3rd - there a really good games coming out. like nippon ichi, the gaming company they have 1 or 2 games coming out.

There is not going to be hardware using for PS 2 and PS 1 games, but software emulation. Its going to be able to play 98% of PS 1 games and more than a 1000 PS 2 games.

Reasons of Buying: possibility of keeping my PS/PS 2 games, FF, DMC, MGS and japanese games as the Musou games.
Reasons of waiting, in my country its 1700 so Im waiting till sept when Im going to the states

I would buy it immediately if I had the money.  I mean all of you are missing that not only is it the cheapest Blu-Ray player, but the PS2 is the SINGLE thing that won over for DVDs.  Everyone liked the format but buying a PS2 was nominally cheaper than a DVD player.  With the PS2's massive success there were already a ton out there, so people started picking up DVDs to watch in it.  No aging, no decay in quality.  DVDs were great.

On top of that, a media management system.  I Love Music.  So being capable of having a ton of music on it? Great. I love the PS1 downloads.  I hated Force Feedback.  It screwed up perfection in any FPS, or sneaking game.  Personally I use wireless controllers now and vibration kills you on battery time. I have played 60 hours into FFXII so far without changing batteries, yet 12 hours into Frequency with vibration on my batteries were dying. It's a waste of resource and it isn't really all that immersive.  A good game doesn't need to shake your hands a little bit to be immersive but capture your mind.

It's sleek look, multi-purpose, FREE ONLINE, and countless more reasons to come as Sony gets more acclimated to what the average PS3 toting gamer wants, they will produce more.  Sony is ALWAYS good to it's fans. 

I personally believe this was just a kickback to a PSX, the PS2/media system that didn't make it out of Japan.  It was a great Idea but most people already had a PS2 and it was insanely expensive.  So they just redid it with the next gen of consoles, and hoped for the best.

If I had 650 I would have a PS3 right now.  Infact if anyone wants to buy a car, I live in MO and am selling my car.

For $650.  I live next to work, and I walk everywhere anyway. This thing costs me every month and I don't use it.  Better turn it into something I can use.  A PS3.

Not buying until mid 2008 or early 2009 because..

- its expensive

- the games are not good (as of now)

- there are still a lot of ps2 games I want to own so I'm saving money for those

I will never pay more than $300 for a gaming machine. I also was not satisfied with final fantasy as much during the ps2 generation and that was the major reason I bought one. I think I will just play Wii and maybe a x-box360 this go round unless there is a massive price drop.

I am a hardcore Final Fantasy fan and was hoping they were going to release XIII in 2007, but now that looks very bleak.  The PS3 games out right now also do not impress me at all.  I will probably purchase sometime next year :D

Metal Gear Solid 4 + FFXIII   FTW

I have games, for my PS2 that I have, but haven't played yet. Also, there are some games I still want, on the PS2, so there is no need to upgrade just yet. Oh yeah , that damn high price too!!

Last time I checked the PS3's were a bit pricey. I only have £90 at the moment so I think I'll wait until I save a bit more money and the price of a new PS3 goes down.

Reason not buying, too expesensive, if I wanted to spend up to 700 dollars on gaming i would either A. Buy PS2 and whatever other games I would like to buy or B. Spend 700 dollars and upgrade my PC.

I'm not buying a PS3 because it's a little more than I can afford to spend on gamesd right now. 
The main reason though is that it doesn't have any games that really interest me right now.  I don't care how good Resistance looks, I don't see myself playing through an entire FPS.  Let alone dropping around $800 on it.  That would be stupidity.

I read in my copy of GI that they will not drop the price anytime soon (not like how they dropped the price on PS2 when it launched).  I want the PS3 but I refuse to buy it for that much money, even though I can afford it.  As much as I love DMC, Def Jam, and MGS series, those few titles alone won't influence me to get it!
