gebx : you want to know why ? Let's see : - compatible (well, sort of) with their old library of PS2 games, with hopes of them being upscaled to 720p - not plagued (yet ?) with horrendous reliability issues like the XB360 - "free" online - more than shooters and racers - especially, big good games, like JRPG. No, not crap like Enchanted Arms, but FFXIII, shiro kishi monogatari. And MGS, ... - region free for PS3 games (is the XB360 region free ?)
