People just assume because I don't like Home, FFXIII, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, get random bugs on Killzone 2, and hate things with short battery life that automatically means I hate the PS3.
IMO the PS3 is an awesome console, I however also like the wireless PS3 controller (it's even good for re-playing old Amiga and Snes classics under Linux on the PS3!). IMO battery life is a minor issue, they last much longer than the longest play session I´ve ever had. Maybe buy this, so you can charge them when done gaming:
I like Home as well (even my dad liked playing some chess, my girlfriend already loves it), I see a lot of potential for Home, looking forward to that EA sports complex being worked on.
Has FFXIII even be released yet? I don't have much anticipation for this game neither, other than for tracking its sales potential.
Other things I like is its relatively sturdy nature (at least well within industry standards) and the fact that Blu-Ray discs don't scratch. I love the fact that every PS3 comes with a harddrive and Wi-Fi by default. Also anyone with an internet connection can easily play games online (about half of XBox 360 gamers can't connect to online games according to an internal Microsoft memo, simply because they don't pay extra for XBox Live gold)
The only real flaws I criticized the PS3 for is that there are no USB ports at the back (not that the 360 has them or anything, but IMO it's still a considerable flaw) and an immature firmware when the console launched and even some PS3 exclusives not using the Cell´s SPEs at all in the beginning.
