i chose "other". I bought my ps3 when it pretty much had no games. Yeah, mid 2007. The true reason was backwards compatibility. I wanted to still be able to play my old games while having the ability to roll with whatever new nex-gen game interested me.

Looking back now that I have a slim with no BC, I didn't really need BC since my ps2 is still around so perhaps I should have waited and analyzed the situation a bit more but I've come to really love some ps3 games (killzone 2 FTW) and as such, wouldn't have it any other way.

I bought my PS3 for home!!!

No I bought it because I thought Final Fantasy would be exclusive and because I love so many of the games I'd played on ps2 and ps1 in the past. There was never a question in my mind that I wouldn't buy PS3. I bought my first PS3 day one a 60 gig for $600. Sold it on ebay the next day for $2000 dollars, oh hell yah! Had to stay in a Walmart for 36 hours to get it. It was all worth it.

I was other.

My primary reason was the overall media center capabilities. I have also just upgraded my TV and my PCs to Windows 7 and the PS3 not only gave me a bluray player and games console, but also the amazing ability to easily view my media content on any PC and various internet features.
