If your looking for my actual answer to the Playstation 3 question.....
There was a time that I was pretty certain that I was going to get it for my girlfriend - who's been a Playstation gamer since the early PS1 days (she's a huge Tomb Raider fan).
However, as the generation has gone on, every series that I thought I'd need to buy a PS3, so she could play the games on, wound up on the X360. It was a very strange feeling having bought her every single Resident Evil and Silent Hill game within the past 3 years, only to buy her SH5 yesterday (awesome game), on my X360. My X360 lives at her house 90% of the time now.
At any rate, there are no games that I need to play on a PS3 that would demand a purchase. There really isn't a genre I care about that the Playstation 3 has, currently. I love WRPGs and JRPGs, and since 80% of said JRPGs and 100% of said WRPGs are coming out on the X360...I am going to stick to my X360.
Now, having said that, it may be a different story for buying one for my GF. She mentioned that she wants a PS3 (maybe) for Christmas, which I'm not a huge fan of...There's virtually 0 games she would want for a Playstation 3 that aren't on a X360 (Silent Hill, Tomb Raider, Resident Evil). And the games she keeps asking about are in platform limbo.
Right now, the only game that would cement a Playstation 3 purchase was if Kingdom Hearts 3 was PS3-exclusive. Outside of that, it's just not going to happen unless she gets me to waste $400 on a system that provides no advantages of my launch X360 that she uses 90% of the time.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
