I'll probably get both soon. I did the math a while back that says its a good idea to buy early:


A the last console generation lasted for 7 years. If you bought a launch day ps3, over the course of 7 years, the TCO would average down to approximately 23 cents a day. (launch price of 599 divided by 365 * 7)

If you bought a PS3 1 year after the price drop, the TCO averages down to 22.6 cents a day. You would save less than 1cent a day! (price drop to 499 divided by 365 * 6)

But than, the "marginal happiness" of me enjoying all the new games before everyone else would start to wear off! I still remember the first time I went to my buddy's house to experience new generation consoles. Wii Sports blew my goddamned mind!



I don't know which one I am going to buy yet. It boils down to this for me:

I want to play shooters: both consoles are equal
I want to play hack and slash: slight edge to xbox
I want to play sports: edge to playstation
I want to play party games (dancing and what not): edge to xbox
I want to watch movies and media: slight edge to xbox
I want to watch sports: slight edge to xbox
I want to play japanese games: edge to playstation
I want to play with my friends: i donno yet, depends on what they get isn't it?
