I have a PS3 and it has been collecting dust since I got it. There are no good games that are out for it now and there won't be till MGS4 is out. :(

I agree, I beat Call or Duty 3, Resistance: Fall of Man, and now it just sits because the other games out right now STINK! C'mon MGS4.

Im glad that u have the luxury of such a great console
WHY DO I HAVE TO LIVE IN THE UK

Yeah this is a bit of a downside to the console, however i dont see the xbox 360 having tilt sensors in its pads
The gameplay if this is used to its full potential is immense
I rekon i will get one around next christmas as i cant afford £450 but hopefully i will get a job between then.

My friend has a PS3, and I have to admit, I do miss the rumble feature. However, I think I can live without it.
The PS3 reminds me of the Nintendo DS launch. For a while, the DS had a very poor line up of games. Now the DS is the hottest thing out there.
I'm not saying the same is happening to the PS3, but usually a system's launch has pretty mediocre games to begin with. I remember I was disappointed with the 360 cause there were no good games for it at launch. Now, I couldn't be happier with the 360 especially after games like Splinter Cell, Dead Rising, and Rainbow 6 Vegas came out.
Hopefully the PS3 will release some great games in the near future. I don't own one yet, but will definately get one once Gran Turismo 5 and MGS4 come out.
I just hope the PS3 doesn't head the same direction as the PSP.

Exactly. I was going to pick up Virtua Fighter 5 for the PS3 but now that it's also coming out for the 360 I will get it for that system because I like having the rumble feature!
