I've owned a PS3 since November, not long after launch. It's OK, but the system still has a very long way to go until maturity. Whereas it has some cool features, it still lacks the overall polish of the 360, plus its not very user friendly. People may complain about motion controls being tacked on to wii games, but this is far worse with the PS3 - although the Warhawk beta shows how effectivly they can be used. In general, I pick up the 360 version of games for a multitude of reasons, not least of which is better ports. Also, the online may be free, but it cant compare to live as of yet. Overall, I'd say the 360 is a far better experience at the moment and definitly a better gaming value. However, the end of this year looks great for the PS3, and if it gets a substantial price cut, things may very well change. And @ Diomedes; You know the Playstation was the very definition of Mass Market, right? Sony has succeded in the past because they target the mass market. Their buisness model was built upon this, which is why some people are questioning how Sony will make a profit this gen. By contrast, the Saturn was a "hardcore" system, yet look how it did, both in terms of games and market penetration. I'd also say that many of the PS landmark franchises are "casual". FF7 is not, by any means, a "hardcore" RPG, the GT series is a joke compared to PC racing sims, ect.
