I have a 360 and a Wii, and I have recently inherited some money (most of which will be put into savings etc., but I have £500 to do what I want with). I was planning on getting a PS3, but I don't really know all that much about it's future exclusives and I don't want to spend £425 needlessly. So I was wondering if people could tell me reasons to buy it. Thanks in advance.

Bluray is amazing. Motorstorm and Resistance are great games. The console is very well built.

Convince you? Who do you think you are? the prince of Scotland? No one cares if you get a PS3 or not.

If you have a 360 and a Wii already, you might as well wait until PS3's big games come out... that's what I would do anyway if I ever had money :(

How about you make your own decisions and don't rely on other people to tell you what to do? It's all about what you want in the end. No one can make you get a PS3 or like it, same goes with all the other consoles, or anything. Period.

Long into the life of the PS3, there are going to be a significant amount of titles that will not be anywhere else. Buying a PS3 now is useless unless you desperately want to play the handful of titles it has now.

You have to convince yourself which system to buy and justify the purchase. Don't just do because someone told you to. You will end up being disappointed and out lots of money.

This post could easily have been rewritten to say "Convince me to waste my money" 

Until the system has more games keep the money you have and buy games for the systems you own (which will most likely be on the 360 until the Wii catches up). When the PS3 has more than 1-2 games worth the cost of admission then its time to buy one. Who knows maybe you will get lucky and by then the system would have dropped a bit in price. 

The Wii is the only system I have ever bought at launch and I wouldn't have if my son not have asked "Santa" for it. My 360 was purchased once the good games started coming out. I am a firm believer of buying a system ONLY when its created somewhat of a worthy library of games. Anyone else is just a deer caught in marketing headlights.

About the case, keep your money, get 360 games and get PS3 when games come, late 2008, that will have droped to 500$ too

Also i would recommend a DX10 pc before, it does not cost too much now, and Crysis + Dragon Age will be out before FF13, MGS4 etc

If you're asking other people to convince you to buy something you really shouldn't be buying it. Look at the games it offers, and make a decision if these games are worth the money.

If Blu-Ray catches on then it will be a good deal.
