PS3 worth it now or wait? (for me that is)

Why should he buy it now if he has nothing he wants to play on it yet? It doesn't make any sense, windbane. I'm not saying "NEVER buy it, MUA HA HA", just "Wait until a game that interests you gets released."

If he's not interesting in any games maybe he shouldn't start these stupid threads. No one actually cares if one person gets a system.

However, there is no point in waiting for the console to drop in price to match the current offer you can already take advantage of. He might have to wait until nxt Christmas to get it at the price he can right now if you include selling back the blu-ray discs (or possibly without including those).

If you can get it for the same price now or 6 months from now, and 6 months from now there will be plenty of games you like, why not just get it now if you can? That way you know for sure you are getting a good deal.

Besides that logical point, you'd be hard-pressed to not like any PS3 games right now, especially with PSN, unless you only like RPGs or some nitch genre that isn't here yet. Folklore should be a great RPG, though.

Nice, windbane. Way to come in and make a worthless addition. I really want a PS3 but was trying to decide to either get one now or wait until March in hopes that there is an equivalent or better deal -- maybe a pack-in. Frankly your post is just inflammatory and serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever. I'd be hard-pressed to not like any games right now? Remember I already have quite a bit of hardware so this is an add-on, not an "only". I still need an HDTV set to take advantage of blue-ray and HD gaming in all its glory.

All that said, I appreciate everyone's input and I'm no closer to a decision than I was on friday other than I'm leaning toward trying to find a good deal on a 37 or 42" LCD during "black friday" this year and getting the PS3 this coming spring. I'm thinking that maybe Sony and MS will reach pricing bottoms for a while and instead pack games and controllers in as a special to add more "value" to the price. 80 gig PS3, two controllers, Motorstorm pack-in FTW, lol. That would be a sweet deal.

 

*Edit* -- this little piece of news has made me decide to wait.  I pretty much assumed HD DVD was dead and was ready to hand Blu-Ray FTW, but this little announcement has made me want to sit and wait out the holidays to see how it plays out.
