PSN isn't the only reason to own a PS3. I've been having an insane amount of fun replaying Heavy Rain and trying to Platinum it, as well as re-playing Uncharted 2 trying to find my last few treasures to Platinum that as well. I don't really see why PSN being down for a few weeks would have anything to do with whether someone would buy a console or not. 

Like I quoted before:

"I can't complain. So PSN went down for 3 weeks. Big deal. Thats after 3 years of free online gameplay that I've never had any issues with. Its not the end of the world or anything. If someone was letting me play sports on a court/field/whatever for free everyday for three years, and then said that someone took their truck out on it and tore it up so it would need 3 weeks of renovations... I wouldn't complain. I'd come back in 3 weeks and play again.

The people who make this sound like the end of the world need to grow up. PSN went down, OMFG HAXOR. Can't find anything else to do? Thats sad. If I get free games and an extension on my PSN Plus when it comes back up, thats awesome. If I don't, oh well. I'll keep playing and won't be complaining. Someone stole my name, address, and phone number? So what? Its in the phonebook, its on facebook, its on google, yellowbook, and whatever other websites. They didn't get anything that anyone should be worried about.

Be glad Sony has given us this free service for this long and will continue to do so in the future."

I agree with you. Not only is switching consoles a costly investment, it's pretty irrelevent consiering PSN will be back up someday.

I only think the Call of Duty fanatics would be the ones who would switch consoles for this.

However, how PS3 is still selling this well, during this crisis is still beyond me. I would think some new console buyers would look at this and at least reconsider buying a 360. Yet PS3 and 360 are both selling about as well.
