Re: convince me to get a ps3

Well if you already have a 360, and a hd tv, I'd say bluray is the best reason to get a ps3. It's one of the best players you can get, and is also one of the cheapest for it's features.

PSN exclusive games are brilliant (compared to XBLA, only, may be on windows/iphone/psp as well). You have;

Wipeout HD
Fat Princess
Flower
Flow
echoChrome
Shatter
Gravity Crash
Astro Tripper
Burn Zombie Burn
Crash Commando
Critter Crunch
High Velocity Bowling
The Last Guy
Everyday Shooter
Lumines Supernova
Pain
PixelJunk Eden
PixelJunk Monsters
PixelJunk Shooter
Super Stardust HD
Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer
Zen Pinball
Trine

To name but a fraction of the store.

If you don't have an HDTV don't
ps3 games are usually inferior to 360 ones unless they are exclusive(Look at bayonetta review on ign)
Online community is "meh" as far as I hear
and Bluray is no use
Does not play ps2 games

ps2 plays ps2/1 games, really cheap.

Now if you have HDTV and want you want to watch Bluray, and you do not have 360
then PS3 is a great piece hardware.
The number of exclusives surpasses the 360 as far as I know, and I think Demon Soul is enough reason.

The whole question is, do you want to jump to current generation? Do you own an HDTV?
if you don't and you already got a 360 I see no much reason to get a ps3

Few things I would like to clarify.

Online community is "meh" as far as I hear Its free though, and what it does for free is almost exactly like live. I think we are only missing cross game voice chat.
and Bluray is no use What? How so? Even if you don't have an HDTV most likely he will down the line somewhere.
Does not play ps2 games Yes they can, granted, only the older models can, but the older models are best anyways.
Take a look at this chart to see model breakdowns;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStatio ... comparison

Don't concern yourself with memory size if you choose to go for an older (and now more expensive) model. The hard drive can be replaced on your own very easily. Sadly I have a 3rd run model so no Ps2 backwards for me :(
