Not to sound too repetitive of everyone else on here but I won't be getting one because first of all I have never seen a single peice of equipment from sony that did not F up within the first 6 months of having it, I really don't care for RPGs that much so the games are really not an issue, and even if they were, just because they have made a deal with a software company to have exclusive rights to a game, people think that that makes them better then any other console? Personally if there were no exclusive rights to games, and they released every single game out there on every single console, I believe that xbox would reign over all systems, first of all because of their load time (at least half of other consoles, even more if it is modded and you save your game to your hard drive, after you buy it of course for all you cheap skates), second of all for their graphics quality (unsurpassed as far as consoles are concerned), third of all for thier controllers (every time I use a ps2 controller for more then an hour my hands are killing me), and finally the modding capability, intentional or not, makes the xbox the most versitle console ever.
Now this is all about the older systems, but if we have ever learned anything from all of history, it is history CAN and WILL repeat itself. I personally hate MS in all of there anti-trust BS but this is one thing they have managed to do right so I will give them props for that.
So again I will not be buying a ps3 because I dont want to waste my money on a peice of hardware that is just going to break and end up being completly useless to me.
