As a gaming community, we're very Xbox 360 focused, with the occasional dabble in the world of PC gaming. I was just wondering if anybody owns a PS3 (which I'm sure someone here does), and if so, what they think of it.

I've been thinking of getting one for a little while now in preparation for the next Gran Turismo. When I was living with my old flat-mate, he had one, and I quite enjoyed playing Little Big Planet and WipeOut HD.

They still carry a hefty price tag, though, and have lost a lot of exclusivity.

We have one in our house at uni got it free with a 02 contract.
We never use it, all gaming is done on the 360s. Other than the Gran Turismo prolog and guitar hero world tour it is never used, there just arnt any games on it that me or my friends are looking forward to.
Wipeout HD is quite fun, we did mess around with Little Big planet and was ok got boring fast.

I suppose the other good thing about the PS3 is it acts as a fairly good media player when playing things over a network. But you can get better devices for that purpose.

I currently only have an Xbox 360 in regards to current generation home systems. I'm simply waiting for a few more titles that I'm fairly certain will amuse me before picking up a PlayStation 3. The same applies to the Wii as well, just a couple of first party games that catch my eye at the moment, not worth the investment at this point in time.

There are some interesting games already on the PS3 however, such as LittleBigPlanet, Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted, not to mention PSN titles like Fat Princess, Flower and so on. Still, I'm just waiting for a few more games like Final Fantasy XII and God of War 3 before making the investment.

I'm going to be making the investment for Gran Turismo 5, without a doubt. I just wondered if I should wait it out and get it when that game is released, or whether there are enough games worth to warrant a purchase now.

With Forza Motorsport 3 on the Xbox 360, Gran Turismo 5's launch isn't as special to me any more.

It wouldn't be special to me, but I've played Gran Turismo with my Dad since I was 8 or 9.

PS3 is same as 360 really just with different games and shittier online. If you own a nice surround setup and a HDTV then you will be blown away by blue ray movies. Thinking about it not bad for blue ray player that lets you play games and browse internet for £300.

Been following gamescon and PS3 had a price drop, it will cost £250 now. Also PS3 slim will be released in September. Bit of topic here, but wtf is Sony thinking? PS3 will be £250 and the PSPGO will cost £230, Why would anyone buy a PSPGO which is an visual update of PSP300? When they can have a slim PS3 for extra £20 or even a brand new Xbox Elite. I don't get how did Sony come up with this "competitive" price plan, this will be their 3nd year I think where they lose profit. I see logic in reducing the PS3 price to sell more units and more units sold means more money, but to release a PSPGO which is £20 cheaper than a PS3 is a wtf for me.

Just saw the PR for the Sony Slim. It looks nasty, but that price drop should provoke some drops on the original console, hopefully. If it comes down to getting the slim (as the cheaper option), I think I'll hold out on it for a while to make sure Sony haven't snuck anything past QA.
