Convince me to buy a PS3!

[Kantor]

It has Tales of Vesperia!

Anyway, reasons to buy a PS3?

-Blu-ray
-Free internet (although it's also free if you don't buy one...)
-Killzone 2
-Uncharted
-Tools of Destruction
-MGS4
-LittleBigPlanet (it may look stupid, but it's brilliant.)

I've even written reviews for LBP and KZ2. Read them, have a look.

In the future:

-God of War III (You even said GOW in the OP ) lol, I know you meant Gears, but GoW is awesome too.
-Uncharted 2
-RaCF: A Crack in Time
-inFamous
-Heavy Rain
-MAG (Massive Action game, a 256 player online FPS)
-Quantum Theory (which is a Gears clone)
-And many more...look in the PS3 exclusives thread.
-RUMOURED: Software backwards compatibility for the PS2 being patched in.

So, I would highly recommend the PS3, but in the end, it's your decision to make.

EDIT: You mentioned reasons for not getting one:

-The price tag. It's not that high, but I can't deny that it's pretty expensive.

-It's big. So? I'm sure you can fit it somewhere. It's pretty much the same size as the 360.

-The controller feels bad. You'll get used to it, everyone does.

-You don't own any blu-ray discs. You will, in the future.

And as for shooters on the PS3, there are a few worth mentioning.

-All the multiplat ones, including UTIII which is actually better on PS3

-Resistance: Fall of Man

-Haze (lol)

-Resistance 2

-Killzone 2 (by far the best)

-Ratchet and Clank and Uncharted are almost-shooters, but they have a fair bit of focus on platforming as well.

-MAG in the future

-Resistance 3, Killzone 3, A Crack In Time, Uncharted 2, etc. in the future.

But it's always good to try new genres. In fact, I hated FPS before this gen, and now CoD4 and KZ2 are two of my favourite games.
