I've been wondering whether or not to get a PS3 not that the release of next-gen systems have lowered the price. I've had an XBOX for five years (the same one, actually, with no RRoD) and have recently got a PC which I will use for general gaming until I get it upgraded when my friends (with VERY good computers) upgrade in a couple of months, give me the parts and then I can start hardcoe PC gaming.

But I've always been generally uninterested in PS3, but the exclusives look interesting to say the least. And now that I will have money from nothing being bothered to ever do anything, I can save up and get a cheapish system and a boatload of cheap games. I know I'll get Killzone (loved the first one on PS2) and without a doubt Beyond Two Souls. Well, that is if there is any point even getting the system. Is there? Or should I just save for a while, stick to my XBOX/PC and wait until the next-gen consoles are cheaper?

If there are enough PS3 games that you want to play (aaaaand, you have the time to play them. ), sure. If there aren't..... then, no.

(also, if you're going to buy a bunch of used games, look into things like Gamestop's discount club, whatever it's called. Signing up usually gets you a buy-2-get-1 coupon, so if you pick games that are more than the $15 one-year membership you're saving some money. And then you'll get 10% off on any other used games. Can be worth it, if you're going to get enough over a year. Assuming you buy from Gamestop, of course. )
