If I were you, I would get it now. They are going to take the PS2 Emotion Engine out next month and run the PS2 games under software emulation, which may not be a bad thing in the long run; however it is definitely going to decrease PS2 software compatibility for now. As far as dependability goes, I have had my PS3 since launch, no problems. My friend, father and two co-workers have had their PS3s since December and have had no problems either. That doesn't prove that they're flawless but I would say they have, so far, exhibited a much lower failure rate than the early 360s. Besides they have a warranty for a year, if it's going to go out, it will before then and you just get a new one. I have yet to meet someone working in a game store that owns a PS3. They either really want one or hate them. I my guess would be that they don’t like it because they can’t afford one. Apparently GameStop doesn’t pay that well, go figure. As for games, there is going to be a couple titles worth buying here soon. I for one have already paid for my copy of MotorStorm and eagerly await the 7th since my game shop is slow. Not to mention Blu-ray is doing well now. I am guessing if you have a Wii and a 360, you most likely own an HDTV, so you would most likely appreciate the Blu-ray movie playback. I didn’t give a crap about it at first, then I found out net-flix has Blu-rays. Owning an HDTV, a Wii, an Xbox360 and a PS3 isn’t that a dream come true?
