Well, me... I bought it on September 1 because Circuit City had a sale that gave me a second wireless controller for free (and a copy of Table Tennis that I sold to GameStop for a whopping $5.50...). Then I hit GameStop and bought a collection of cheap games like PGR3, NCAA07, and Call of Duty 2. I've been playing those while waiting for Halo 3. Then I ordered Halo, Halo 2 and Halo 3.
I made my decision because I really wanted to play Halo 3 & Gears of War, two titles that weren't available on PS3. The only game I really wanted on PS3 that wasn't also on 360 was Grand Turismo. I was very concerned about the RROD problem, but the 3 year warranty resolved any concern there. Just to be safe, I did pay a little more for the warranty so that I could return this if it broke.Â
Mine is a newer premium with HDMI.
On a little spending spree I also picked up Forza 2 and Gears of War. I have plenty to play now

Bioshock and a hockey game will have to wait until I have played all the stuff I just got.
