You're actually right. When I said there were very few games I was interested in, it was because I was only counting the exclusives. By the way, when I say I am only interested in two games, it's because those are the two games that would interest me enough for me to buy a ps3. If I actually had one, I would probably play more games that are out.

For example, in my case I have a Wii. If I didn't have a Wii, I would not be interested in buying a Wii to play Naruto: Clash of the Ninja. But since I have one and I don't need to buy a Wii+Naruto to play it, then my interest in it rises. I bought a Wii because of other games not related to Naruto. At the time, they were Mario Galaxy, Twilight Princess, Wind Waker, Godfather, RE4 and PES08. Those were the system sellers for me and there were enough for me to pay $250 for the system. And in this case, even though my list includes three multi-platform games, I was only interested in those games with Wii controls. They would not be that appealing for me with other controls.

Right now, the only system sellers for me are Uncharted and Valkyria Chronicles. That is not enough for me to pay $400 for a system. Since my list of System sellers is small, I would pay at most $150 for a ps3. But I already have another system that is consuming a lot of my time. I have a big list of titles that are out that I still want to play, a huge list of upcoming games that I really want to play and for that, my interest in buying another system goes down even more to a point that I would not pay more than $100 for it.

Sorry if it sounded like it doesn't have good games, it's not that. But those really amazing games that would make me want to buy it are not there.

I may not want to do that, but I can definitely understand it. It makes sense for certain people to want to evade the hype and high prices when a product if first released. You will probably be waiting a longer while this time around though.

Valkyria Chronicles might just pull a Heavenly Sword. Heavenly Sword is still sold at $60 at retail. Folklore is $40 and that was a release title, all the others are like 20.

I have to until the price gets down to at least the 250 range, the wife doesn’t want me to get another system (already have the wii/360/ps2 hooked up)

And since she got me a nice Sony Up scaling DVD burner I cant use the HD Blu Ray argument as effectively now----to her they all look the same

So I am stuck until they get cheap enough I can weasel her into one—hopefully they will have the price down to 300 range by Christmas and I might be able to talk her into letting me get one for Christmas

But then again I will only get the ones with BC so hopefully I will be able to find a 60 that is going strong or one of the early 80s

if you can find one with BC, GREAT, snatch that one up emediately! Yet, most likely you wont find one, so dont get your hopes up. If you cant get your hands on the 60gb then simply hold on to your PS2, easy as that.

Good luck in convincing the miss lol!

^just nervious b/c the ps2 i have is the old fat--still going strong but ehh that could die any day

(playing parasite eve at the moment)

and i know i wont be able to talk her into the ps2 and a ps3

I was holding out for a cheaper PS3 and almost bit on the MGS4 Bundle, but my urge cooled and I have since bought a 360 and don't really have any desire to get a PS3 now, especially if blu-ray player pricing drops faster than the PS3 price if I ever get to the point of wanting a blu-ray player.

I am, my core stopped reading dvds a while ago and I'm waiting for a slim to replace it.
