    Ok here is the thing, I have a 3.41 60GB PS3 (yeah posibilities are endless), I also own a modded Xbox 360, and two PSPs with latest custom firmware.

    I can buy all of the multiplatform games for the X360 for like five bucks each, I use my psp for emulators and psp games, among other things. Of PS3 exclusives I only like God of War 3 which I have, Killzone 2 and the upcoming Last Guardian.

    So, I don't really see the point of owning a PS3 if most good games are released on both consoles.

    I'm trying to convince myself of keeping it, but I barely use it, also I got it for fairly cheap, so if I ever want to replace it, it would cost me a lot

    Is it really worth keeping it for like 10 PS3 exclusives and some emus I already have. (Also good fighters which can't be played properly with the 360 controller)

    I don't really want to get rid of it, so any coment on my situation is welcome

    Don't forget the ability to have a media center, linux, unlimited games without having to modchip, a lesser failure rate then the x360, etc etc etc.

    Thank you, I forgot that I use the PS3 as my DVD and BD player

    Guess I'll wait a little longer, since right now I don't have the money for a new HDD or any jailbreaking device.

    So, movies, blu-rays, exclusives, media center, hopefully n64 and CPS2 emus.

    Thanks

    There are alternatives to the jailbreaking device. One of them being a rockboxed iPod or other compatible mp3 player.
