I'm sorry but if you seriously need someone else to give you reasons then I don't think you should bother. If you want one then get it, otherwise don't bother..we can't tell you what you should like or not.

Don't get one. Wikipedia, Google, Advertisements, threads, forums, God of War 3, and you didn't gather enough facts to justify buying/not buying a PS3. I see no reason for you to get one at this point in time.

Sony's logo wasn't "does everything" back in the phat boy days.

Instead they add in the logo after they remove the feature from all new models...great idea Sony.

If you actually want good reasons, I highly doubt you'd find them here tbh.

Blu-Ray player, good multi-platform games, best exclusives, best controller for fighting games, great graphics, upgradeable hard drive, quiet, downloadable PS1 games. There's 8. The exclusives alone are reason enough to buy one. The fact that it plays blu-ray movies is an added bonus that should do nothing but back up a person's decision to buy the console. Unless of course they don't own an HDTV in which case it would just be meaningless to them.

If you want a gaming system you should look at the exclusives to see which you like more. Other than that it's your choice. =)

Considering your on a website called "gamespot", and there being 4 sticky threads on Playstation 3 reommendations, I am just going to pretend I never saw this post.

You want 10 reasons? Google is your friend. Don't be lazy and let others do the work for you.

Least encouraging people. Sounds like you guys are trying to lower the PS3 owners population. Im getting one this week because Live is free, it has great exclusives, im sick of 360 repairs, Blu ray and I have more friends who own a ps3 now to play with.

I'll give you 10 reasons, just because I had the same problem almost a year ago... I was stuck on my PS2, and wanted to upgrade. My dad finally got me a PS3, but I thought about selling it because I thought there were no great games on it. Comes to figure out, I'm now in love with it, and selling my PS2 games away now. I probably can't give you 10 reasons, but here's mine: 1. Free Wifi, not like the Xbox 360. Enough said. 2. Exclusive Games only on this console are usually the top games, such as Uncharted or inFamous or LittleBigPlanet =D 3. Blu Ray is awesome! 4. Online play is great, not a hassle, and do able. 5. No "red ring of death", like on the XBOX. Don't have to worry about anything crashing either or viruses, like on the PC. 6. You can watch movies or even listen to music. My laptop has wireless as well, and the other day the Playstation 3 picked up the connection from it, which was weird. I have to try that out more... That's all I can think about for the moment. If you don't want it, then don't get it.

1. It is a better investment because

2. It has a significantly lower chance of dying on you than a 360

3. It wont gather dust after its first month like a wii

4. It will last longer than either of the two consols this generation into the next gen of consols.

5. It is the best bluray player on the market.

6. It has a multiplayer capacity as good if not better than xbox lives because its free and dont get me started on nintendos piss poor version of any multiplayer game.

7. They just dropped in price recently making now a better time to buy one short of black friday.

8. As more and more developers learn how to program for the cell processor (and they are as you can see with more exclusives than the 360 by a longshot this year) more develepors (while not all) are going to jump ship and go towards the consol that has the better top end gaming experiances.

9. You won't have to buy nearly as many accessories in order to get a full experiance with the consol.

10. People that get the most out of any consol tend to do research for themselves ;)

1. Backwards Compatibility (depends on models)

2. Blu Ray player

3. Free Online

4. Low Failure Rate

5. Exclusives

6. Multiplats

7. Store pictures and music

8. Playstation Store

9. Built in wifi

10. It only does everything.

Honestly though, it's your money. If you don't want a PS3, don't force yourself into buying one. I recommend, just for the exclusives (Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, etc.) but on top of that you get a free Blu Ray player and you don't need to pay to play online. I love mine, but whether or not you want one is up to you. Don't buy just because there's ten good reasons.

6. because ps3 is made by sony, and sony rocks.

7. because ps3 is blu ray

8. because ps3 is sexy

Do some research and decide. It's too easy to spend other's money.
