Thinking maybe it's time for you to finally give in and buy a PS3, if only they'd reduce the price just a little bit more? This isn't going to be your year, if Patrick Seybold, director of corporate communications at SCEA, is to be believed (I have a feeling he's likely pretty reliable when it comes to such things.) In a recent interview with Edge, Seybold commented that there are no plans for any price cuts this Holiday season.
"In my opinion," he added, "we have the best line up of any PlayStation generation going into this holiday and consumers will be very receptive to it."
I do think that Sony has a major hit on their hands with LittleBigPlanet, as the beta has been one of the most delightful gaming experiences I've had all year. PS3 was catching up to the Xbox 360 in sales, but now that they have slashed the price of their console, the gap could possibly widen again.
Seybold also mentioned Resistance 2, SOCOM and MotorStorm: Pacific Rift as being among their games that they feel will draw people to purchase the PS3. Are any of these titles (LittleBigPlanet included) system sellers for you?

He can't be serious.
Don't tell me you agree with him Colette. I know you've been hypnotized by Little Big Planet (what I like to call a tech demo and creative outlet for wannabe game designers).
None of the games listed interest me, it's sad really...
I was a sony fanboy once, but now...I don't know anymore.
BTW, i'm not saying Little Big Planet is bad, but in all honesty, do you see yourself having the patience and the ability to make your own level and games. I've seen some amazing stuff done by very creative people, but I just don't have the creativity and skill to do that crazy stuff, I'd get bored with it very quickly.
and aside from LBP that line up is pathetic. I doubt resistance is the next big leap in FPS Motorstorm is no GT and Socom is a relic of a franchise
But no, the rest of those are hardly system sellers.
I dunno, man... 60 player deathmatch is pretty cool.
Resistance 2 might be on my list. Little Big Planet and Fallout 3 are for sure purchases for me, as well as Rock Band 2. The new Spider-Man game has me interested, but I'll wait to see how that's received first.
I honestly couldn't care less about those games, and although I can see myself having a couple hours of fun with LBP, I just don't see it's lasting appeal.
the beta has been out for what like a week and half or two weeks? just imagine the levels in the coming months and into the next year what people can do with a full game (and ive seen the full game and it is goddamn huge, the amount of things to be able to use)so this is absolutely nothing now compared to whats going to come starting next week.
Resistance 2? Quite possibly.
LBP? FUCK YES.
Also Killzone 2 isn't too far away...
Persona 4/Ar Tonelico 2/Fate:Unlimited Codes/Devil Summoner 2?
Their line-up doesn't have enough to pull me away from this year's PS2 line-up!
I have a friend who after showing LBP videos to is now saving up for a PS3, so I'm sure there are others out there. I also see little kids crying to their paretns that they want the Sackboy game so they will be able to set their PS3 next to their Wii Fit.
@brainderailment
I agree there are many PS3 games (some exclusives some not) that are well worth the purchase.
..Uhh...you don't NEED a HD TV for either consoles. I played my PS3 for a year on a SD 27INCH CRT TV and my friend still plays on his 21 inch SD CRT RCA.
...on topic though, The titles they have out are total fun, I don't know if they are of caliber though to sell machines especially at currently price point coupled with the state of the economy. Just have to wait and see I guess.
Why bother playing on a SDTV when one of the major selling points is the HD graphics. Trying to deal with text heavy games and PSN on SD is just too much eye-strain-o-vision for me. It is also a major loss in value. Its a bit extreme but to me its like paying 399 for a PS2 in 2008. I can play a PS3 on my SDTV but that doesn't mean I want to.
The wallet always wins.
Therefore, $400 is too much for a PS3.
Sorry, LBP and Motorstorm!
Give in to the HDs
You must have them
You are feeling sleepy
Seriously, HD is completely amazing compared to SD and the prices are really coming down. I bet with the economy as tight as it is, retailers will have some great deals on HDtvs this holiday seasons.(fingers crossed)
Otherwise both systems will have all the other games in common, many of which the PS3 is the lead platform. Really you can't go wrong with either, but when you look at what each machine offers IN the box. The PS3 is easily worth the price.
Not sure why you'd want 2 - 360's instead of one of each system.....other than being a blind fanboy and not a real gamer.
