So I'm having thoughts

About whether I should get a PS3 or not.
 
Now I love my Xbox 360 and it's a great system to play.  I also own a Wii and it's a pretty good system, although my little bro mostly uses it, I love playing RE4 and Mario Kart Wii on there.
 
But I just feel like getting a PS3 just so that I don't have to worry about which system is better.  I just thought of getting a PS3 just so I can enjoy all types of games and not worry about which console is better and what not.  There are also some games I enjoy on PS3 like MGS4 and Mod Nation Racers was cool too.
 
This isn't a for sure thing though.  I still need a job if I even want to go as far as to get another console.
 
But anyways, hearing some people's opinions, some say it's worth it, others (who also own a 360) say they rarely use it.
 
So people that are neutral and multi-platform I ask you this: Is the PS3 worth purchasing if you own an Xbox 360 already??
Like I said, it's not a for sure thing, but just letting you guys know it's something I'm keeping in mind.
 
And no fanboyish comments either please.  I don't want any XBOX 360 RULZ, PS3 SUX or FUCK 360 or any of that stuff.  Please don't post those type of comments.

I'd say the PS3 has been worth buying for a few years now. Games like uncharted 2 and MGS4 are great exclusives. Its all personal taste though. Just look through the ps3 games list and decide if you think you'd play it.

I have an Xbox 360 and a Wii, but no PS3. I really want one. So many games missed, that's why I'm blue, wishful thinking.

There are some amazing exclusives there man: Uncharted 2, the first Uncharted is great, Killzone 2, Gran Turismo 5 looks like it's good -- we could go on, right? If you can have all three consoles, do so.

Yeah that's what I've been thinking about too.  I mostly play online and from what I hear, Xbox 360 has a better live service than the PS3 does, despite the PSN being free and what not.
 
But I will say PS3 has some great exclusives for sure like ZanzibarBreeze said (Loved MGS4 from what I played).  Sometimes though, I see PS3 as more as a home-entertainment console than all around gaming because it also comes with the blu-ray and streaming videos is much better (I'm not trying to say it as a bad thing btw, I'm actually saying it has more versatility). 
 
I'm just thinking about PS3 since it's beginning to get more popular now.  But if I get a job and get enough extra money to get a PS3, then I'll definitely go for it.
 
Anyways, thanks for the feedback guys.  You guys have helped me more about what to think on this big system.

yes, you should get the ps3. i play it a lot. i also have a xbox 360. i play them both equally when i want. my ps3 is my online console and xbox 360 for the single player ones. i chat with some friends on xbox 360 from time to time. the online for the ps3 is free so you don't have to pay like xbox live.

I only have a 360 now, most of my multi-platform games will be played on for the Achievements, but I'm absolutely getting a PS3 as soon as I make a dent in my back-catalog. there more than 10 retail games on it only that I must absolutely play. So yeah get it.

I only have a 360 and a Wii, and if you are lacking money, then I'd say focus on buying games instead of a new console. I'd love to have a PS3, but I also like buying new games, so you have to make the decision based off that. You don't have to play every game out there, and in fact you'll probably end up playing more games if you don't spend all your game money on a new console.

I own both. If you have the money, then buy the PS3. You don't have to worry about missing out on exclusives.

Get one, they are awesome.

It seems to depend on exactly how tight you'll be on money, how many 360 games you own already, and how you like to enjoy your games.  I really enjoy my PS3 and would recommend it for the exclusive games, as others in this thread do.  Is it always the right option for a gamer?  No.

Just curious though, besides the fact that it's free, what makes you like the PS3 online better than the xbox 360's online??  I just wanna know because everyone I know that's multi-platform goes with Xbox Live but I want to hear someone with a different opinion say why they like the other better.

Sorry, I can't reply to everyone right now in this blog, as my time here right now is limited, but thanks to all of you for giving out your individual opinions and suggestions.  I'm really grateful for your advices.
 
I think, for now, I'll just stick to the Xbox 360.  Sure PS3 is getting more popular right now but if I can still play 80% of the same games on my 360, then I think I should be fine for now.  I'll get a PS3 only when I'm for sure that I have a great amount of extra money. 
 
But thanks again for the support everyone!

I honestly have to say I had a 360 since around the end of 06, bought a PS3 round last October, and while it does have some excellent games like Uncharted, Killzone, LBP, Demon's Souls, Yakuza 3, I have honestly not played anything really on the thing in months =/ And that is really not meant as an insult to the system because I love some of the games on it, Demon's Souls was easily my GotY last year followed closely by Uncharted 2, but I just find myself switching on the 360 every single night, and the PS3 maybe once every couple of months. I'd definitely stick with 360 if I were you...I really can't justify buying a PS3 even with some of those great exclusives.

I am also considering a PS3 to buy along a new TV I've been looking into to play blu-rays, but then I realized I watch 1 movie every 3 months (kinda sad but nothing coming out appeals to me...) and only one exclusive I'm interested in. I'm afraid it'll just sit there collecting dust.

Do yourself a favor, and buy a PS3. It has earned its right to be a must-have console now. Sure its launch titles were shaky, but it has evolved into a whole new beast now. 
inFamous, Uncharted, MGS, LBP, Killzone, Valkyria Chronicles (worth buying a ps3 just for this game), Ratchet and Clank, and so, so much more. 
 
I own all three current-gen consoles, and my PS3 gets the most use by far. 
Buy a PS3. Do It.

" I have an Xbox 360 and a Wii, but no PS3. I really want one."

I have had the same thoughts for a long time, but ultimately I have decided against it personally. I am lucky to have a friend who owns a PS3 who doesn't mind lending me his or getting together when an exclusive game comes out we should play through. I've played MGS4, Uncharted2, the new Ratchet & Clank and God of War 3 all with that friend.
If you are the type of player who needs to play those games and you don't have a friend who has a PS3, it's worth considering. Those exclusive games are pretty interesting.
