Although I seriously considered purchasing a PS3 on several occassions, I could never really justify it. Much like a new TV - it'd be nice to have one to experience the exclusives but I just don't need it right now. I am a student, my money situation is mediocre, I work part time, purchasing another console will just shoot me in the foot both time and money wise.
When I will be able to purchase it I am not sure I am going to - by then it'll be like purchasing PS2 in around 2007. Although I don't think graphics or game quality leap will be anywhere near the 6th - 7th generation, I still think it may affect me, there are very few games I can play that have been released a long time ago - RTS games and that's it.
I am not a fanboy, at the time of my purchase 360 seemed like a much better alternative, and I do not regret my decision in the slightest - it's been great as all my current friends own a 360 with the exception of 1 - who purchased a 360 anyway. I don't love Microsoft or anything, I like 360 for what it is - an entertainment/gaming machine, and probably would have been the same towards PS3 had I purchased that instead.
Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.
