*shrugs* Each person has different things they like. For some people, a PS3 is worth the price. I personally am in the category where it is not. A few of the games intrigue me, but intrigue isn't enough for me to consider purchase. And that has been announced as exclusive, there are only 2 games that scream out to me, neither of which can hold up to the $150 system price (split among both, of course), in addition to the $60 game price. I've not paid $210 for any game (let alone $150), and I'm not about to start now.

And while we were scared with the 360 also, enough games coupled with a cheaper price and a 3-year warranty are why we went with it, and it's why also, only the exclusives for the PS3 can be considered to getting it.

I understand what do you mean, Ps3 is seriously an expansive system.....not the price of the console itself but their games usually costs more than those on Wii or 360.... I just wanted to buy heavy rain for example, 70euros, definetly it's not whort it. But, even thought so the Ps3 is worth its price, is an excellent media player and has a great and complete game library, it is also the best blu-ray player on the market.

Still I don't think either that exclusives alone are a sufficient reason to choose it over the 360....Seroisly I don't see the reason to own a Ps3 if you're already got the 360 in terms of gaming, they're really very similar consoles. Still I have bought the Ps3 after 360 because of its mulltimedia capabilites, I personally like very much to watch movies and listen to music as much as I like play videogames.

What I mean is that If you consider the Ps3 only as a gaming system, the price difference compared to 360 it's not justified, but If you consider it as a universal entertaing console it's probably one of the most cost-effective systems ever made.

As for failures....I have cahnged 2 ps3's in one year, thank god the warranty was still valid when it happened, but now the ps3 slim is more reliable, I guess.

Really? So you would deprive your self from playing what exclusives ps3 has to offer because you alrdy own a xbox360? well to me I dont see a reason to own a 360 at all when I can play many of its "exclusive" on my PC......

I haven't bought X360 for its exclusives, just because it had complete library, and it was cheap....80% of Ps3's games are already on 360 , its ture that many x360 games are also on pc, but the pc libray it's not as much complete....(there aren't good fighting games or jRPGs on PC for example) besides with the exception of fps games I generally prefer to play games on console (less compatibilty problems, it doesn't take 6min to start a game.....), I never said something like the x360 is better than the Ps3, just that Ps3 exclusives were not the reason why I bought it.
