I would like to interject a concept into the arguments that has seemed to have gone overlooked. Hell has been overlooked in the brand loyalty argument for quite some time. A little decision Sony implemented not to long ago called removing backwards compatibility. There is little doubt that the feature was perhaps the strongest brand loyalty argument any console could make to consumers.
Ironically if you are a real fanatic of the series there seems to be only one next generation console that allows you to play all the recent installments in the series. The irony is that it isn't the PS3, but instead the 360. Who would have thought that three years ago, but here we are with gamers having to make the judgment call from scratch. How relevant is brand loyalty when its lost its most concrete benefit.
I read an interesting post today on another forum. Where a poster was inquiring about which 360 to purchase. They were taking advantage of a promotion from EB games. You turn in your old PS2, and five games. In exchange you pay only $150 for a core 360. Interestingly there is a argument that you could probably transfer your grand theft auto fetish over to the 360 with a minimum of effort. The previous three titles could probably cost you under thirty dollars.
Basically moving onto a 40gig PS3 means you do have to forfeit the other titles in the series, but if you are a avid fan of the series shouldn't you go with the purchase of a 360. Not only do you still get access to all those game let alone a better commitment to backwards compatibility in the future, but also the additional content. A serious question to be asked why buy a PS3 for this game if you are a avid fan of the series.
