just to add 2 things that haven't been mentioned yet:
1. You can load data from your pc to ps3 easily via USB-stick (like files edited on the pc - was a reason for me because of pro evo soccer...
to get edited faces,teams,players etc.- obviously not too much people actually need that)
-and as mentioned you can upgrade the HDD pretty easily
2. in terms of exclusives i have to add: TEAM ICO!!!!!
"The last Guardian" is yet to come...and if you haven't owned a ps2(or those games) i highly recommend "ICO" and "Shadow of the Colossus"...both are coming out in a new HD-version on ps3.
Just very unique and great Games telling good Stories mostly through Gameplay
oh, and regarding the ps3-controller: Digi-Pad really is way better than 360-controller (important for beat'em up's f.e.)
..though i consider the triggers on 360-pad more comfortable to use (some people tend to slip off the ps3-ones)
but that can be solved with certain trigger-attachements...most of my friends prefer playing with those attached -like the ones from "Hama" (only about 2-3euro on amazon)
But the basic question if you actually want a gaming console anymore (even having sold your 360) hardly can be answered through any console-benefits/downsides
But I'm 29 and still enjoy gaming (although i spend considerably less time on it than i used to, of course)
