The PS3 question is pretty simple actually: It will die soon enough. And why is that? Here are the reasons and the possible scenarios:1) Ridiculous price, and plus, Sony loses money on each buy. So far Sony has sold 3,011,788 PS3s. 1.804.061.012 dollars in total. And their loss is 602.357.600. And they will keep losing money, because the PS3 will get cheaper as time goes by, but it will still be expensive to make one. Soon Sony will lose so much money that it will need to bury the PS3 just like SEGA buried the Dreamcast. Its like that old saying, the bigger it is, the bigger the fall. And, if the fall is REALLY big, Sony might just quit the gaming business, considering that they will be having a new president.2) Lack of third party support and the loss of exclusive games to Wii and XBOX 360. Sure, its not happening RIGHT NOW but it WILL. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, IT COSTS AROUND 10 MILLION DOLLARS TO MAKE A SINGLE GAME FOR THE PS3. Games for the PS3 will take a looooong time to make, and developers will soon notice that it just isnt worth it, its a waste of time.The PS3 isnt next gen, it skipped a few gens ahead of the others. If the PS3 loses games like Devil May Cry and Final Fantasy to Wii and 360, it will die in a matter of seconds.3) Sony made the EXACT SAME MISTAKE that Nintendo did with the N64: Using expensive media for its games. The Blu Ray is expensive now, and if the HD DVD wins the media war, ITS PRICE WILL SKYROCKET! And the PS3 will die.

yeah its worth it, because not only does it have more features than the wii and 360, but it also has blu-ray which itself would cost more than $1000 alone.

The only reason I'm not buying the ps3 it's cuz of the price. The price is way too high and it's outrageous, compared to all the other next gen consoles, plus the games that the ps3 offers are okay and it still doesn't make the ps3 worth buying for 600$.

at this point.... no. i understand there are sony fans out there who obviously will dissagree, but come on, there is a small libary of average games and the controler is terrible with out rumble, but the good news there is that they may come out with one with rumble. in a year or so, it will be worth it, unless 360 has the same games, then the 360 will rule.

As of now in my own opinion, I believe that the Ps3 is not worth it. I have basically three major reasons on why: They basically talk about the bugs, game play hours, allowable games, and price.1 ) The ps3's allowable playable hours or game time is limited to an hour if the console is played in a normal or so likewise hot environment (since I am in the tropics) and two hours when played in a cool environment (such as playing it in an air conditioned room).2 ) The ps3 is rumored to have bugs as of now, bugs which I am not familiar of (got that from a reliable source)3 ) The ps3 doesn't support play station 2 games, since I have a play station 2 and have tons of games for that console, I was hoping that the ps3 console would support ps2 games but I was dismayed and disappointed to find out that it wasn't compatible! 
4 ) The price is not reasonable here in my country!I would suggest that Sony would fix certain problems the ps3 is encountering, I believe that this new console will reign over the gaming industry in the near future. I hope by that time, the ps3 would be a console that would last long and stand strong.

In my country atm its not worthwhile some reasons are:1) The price is unbelievably high.2) The games cost a tonne.3) Most of the PS3 games that work on X360 dont use the SIXAXIS technology.4) The movie producers aren't making that many movies on BluRay.Id wait until these happen1) The price drops, should be reasonable by the end of the year2) By the end of the year some of the games will have gone platinum or w/e3) By the end of the year many more companies will be developing around the SIXAXIS technology and hopefully well get some like golf clubs for golf games and baseball bats for baseball.4) By Dec the BluRay technology will be more advanced and discs will be cheaper.

@mahG-Do u even have clue on what ur talking about?(somethings anyway)1.Sony is taking close to $250 loss on each PS3 they sellCutting prices for them wont happen until maybe late 20082.it may happen.But a lot of games will go multi-platform,just like GTA IV3.Do u even know what six axis is?It only allows motion sensing along the 6 axial planes.So if u want to swing a baseball bat in a game,buy a wii4.Bluray technology won't get anymore "advanced".Only unlikely thing that may happen is that production of bluray diodes will get cheaperbluray discs have already reached its peak of 50GB per layermaybe they'll bring out dual layer and triple layer bluray discs which adds to cost a lotSorry if i was rude,but i hate seeing posts having wrong information

Truthfully wait until the next models of PS3 come out if you wish to buy it but currently the 360 has awsome graphics and online play but the wii is more interactive its up to you good luck.yes, compared to wii and 360
