If you are a Playstation fanboy you must get it. I think it has the potential to be the best system to date. If you look at this logically then you should wait. The video game industry is based on volume. Many people forget that we get the consoles at or below cost. Which means the companies are taking a loss for every one sold. They make their money on the games. Developers want to create games for systems that have high sales volume. The industry has proven over and over that the best hardware does not necessarily win (Xbox vs PS2 for example). PS3 is not selling right now which is very bad for long term success.

Don't buy it for BluRay unless you are in the market for a BluRay player. Why? Because BluRay and HDDVD are fighting right now and we have no idea on who will win. If BluRay loses and PS3 doesn't sell, you will have wasted your money. Also check to see if the movies you want to watch are on BluRay.

Just like XBox 360 the games won't be good until a year later (next Christmas). I also think that is when the PS3 will take off. Just imagine when a killer game is released and if the price is slightly lower ($600 is a sticker shock for most people).

I am in the same boat as you. I am ready for a new console but I don't know which one to get. I currently have an Xbox and a Gamecube. After thinking about it, I've decided to get a PS2. That's right, the previous generation. The funny thing is, is that I can't find it in stores. It has been the best seller all year (and all Christmas) long. I should have bought one years ago but I liked Xbox better. At $129.99 I can get the PS2 today and wait for the PS3 to come down.
