I must say, the PS3 I have has lasted me little over 5 years, and is still working wonderfully.
Other than that, I can't really say anything else that other people haven't already stated.

There's about five exclusive games apiece for the 360 and PS3.
Microsoft generally shells out cash for exclusives, timed or otherwise.
Sony offers free online.
Sony's superior machine may lead to a better experience.
Microsoft's Box is cheaper, which allows you to purchase more games with the console.
Microsoft Points are funner than PSN Points, as you can haggle, mess with exchange rates, and get them cheap with in-store deals.
Big American companies like Xbox, big Japanese companies like Playstation.
It's really a crapshoot.

I personally enjoy my PS3.
My games are:
Call of Duty 4, MW2, and Black Ops (Call me a fanboy)
Grand Theft Auto IV
Metal Gear Solid 4
Portal 2
The Orange Box
Borderlands
Sonic Genesis Collection
Ratchet and Clank.
I personally got the PS3 because I enjoy the exclusives more than on the Xbox, liek Metal Gear, and Uncharted. There are a few drawbacks though, if you like your online, it doesn't come with a headset, like the 360, but you don't have to pay 60 a year just to play online.
But, it is down now D:

PS3 has the backlog of games from the PSX (and if you get an earlier model, PS2) for you to use, which are very high quality and games worth playing. That, and the PS3 has a lot better sports games than either of the other 2 consoles, and a lot better RPGs/whatever you call Heavy Rain.
Highly recommend getting one, if you can.
Oh, and the FF series, the inFamous series, Heavy Rain, the Uncharted Series, MGS series, the Gran Turismo series, and MLB: The Show are all fantastic exclusive games series' on it.

A PS3 would be kinda cool to have, but buy it after the PSN network goes back online.Nicholas Woodruff said:
When you get your PS3, I highly recommend Wipeout HD. I myself generally dislike racing games, but I adore Wipeout. It the racing is fast and tight, and the aesthetic of the game is incredibly slick. Plus, if you get the expansion pack, Fury, you're essentially doubling the amount of content you have to play with; it's that huge.
Also, The Last Guardian.

I can't say I've been most pleased with it but I also can't say I'm Not really looking forward to Starhawk.
Still. I bet there's another price cut in the near future. I would wait for that.

I like my 360 for some hardcore gaming, and my PS3 is used for FUN.
As an achievement whore, the 360 is my biggest time sink and what I use for serious, hardcore completion. As for the PS3, it's nice to kick back, relax, shoot stuff, and not worry about every goddamned collectible the I MUST GET in order to break the XX000 point mark.
In short, my 360 is for WORK, and the PS3 is for PLAY.

Well all I can say is to make your choice wisely....The PS3 does have alot of exclusives, in fact alot more than the xbox or wii....So IF there are in fact alot of games that are PS3 exclusives that you know you would like, then go for it, get the PS3.....
That should be the REAL only reason to get a console....for the games right? Your buying it to play games on it...sure there are extra features like "blu-ray player" and what not, but your real agenda should be about the games.....
I've played on each console and to be honest I find the PS3 control so much more comfortable to use, plus my friends who also have both consoles, always end up buying for their PS3 and when they return for their Xbox they end up getting the "red ring of death" (lol the Xbox dies)......
Also I think the Xbox controls are a bit uncomfortable and the console itself is too noisy, sounds like a jet engine LOL.....So yeah I'll admit I like my PS3 better, so just make sure you know for certain what you want, and why you want it, before making the purchase K?

Hey, I made this thread awhile back myself! It's like talking to myself in the past! I ended up buying a PS3. I like it. The PSN is down, but I barely used the online anyway (on xbox or PS3). I really dug Heavy Rain (BOOBIEZ). Infamous was crazy fun. Buy that one if you like to blow things up with electricity. I also use it as a blu ray player hooked up to my surround sound system. My old blu ray player (also a Sony) had a lot of problems, but I've yet to experience any of the old incompatibility issues on the PS3. The PixelJunk series of downloadable games were really good, especially Eden and Shooter. Portal 2 has better graphics on PS3 (over 360) according to a few screen comparisons I've seen. Umm. Better controller for fighting games, but I don't play them that often. Built in rechargeable batteries, over 360's expensive optional ones that won't recharge in regular USB ports for some reason. If you've never played the Sly Cooper games, there's a great compilation out with all three games on it. Really liked the first two of those (they're like Infamous - same developer). You can play as the Joker in Batman Arkham Asylum (I have the xbox version, though).
When the PSN is up, it generally has better deals than Xbox Gold does. I got Penny Arcade Adventures 1 and 2 awhile back for 3 dollars. There are also PS1 Classics. Silent Hill 1 really holds up.
