I don't hate the ps3... just have no use for it. I have a nice ps2 that still works fine and there's tons and tons and tons of games for it that I haven't even ever rented or looked at. Some of us have 40 hour a week jobs, and have some better things to spend our money on then entertainment. For the price of a ps3 you could go out and buy a brand new fta satellite setup, and get many more years of satisfaction out of it. I already have one one of those... I like my old dvd player... I know it'll be eventually obsolete, just like analog tv will be eventually. big deal.
Also, I sort of like to wait a while for technology to prove itself. I've been on the "bleeding edge", getting new stuff as it comes out, etc. and been burned more than a few times. The new consoles are still up there at the bleeding edge, way to new, overpriced, and still possibly buggy to get too excited over. Wait a few years. Holographic disks are going to be in the next next gen of consoles, and will make blue ray obsolete.
