Good thing I bought a PS3 within the first few months of release, it plays all PS2 games fine

Wii FTW. Huge-ass library of NES, SNES, N64, and GC games in one console, plus the Wii games. Epic win. Plus, I need Zelda and Mario. There's a reason Super Mario Galaxy was awarded Best Game of the Year(on all consoles) in 2007 you know. And Twilight Princess is the best Zelda game since Ocarina of Time, which in it's time was awarded Best Game of All Time(though that award is obviously dated now, I think it still deserves it). Owning alot of awesome GC games, like Luigi's Mansion, Super Mario Sunshine, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, and The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker(Limited Edition with Ocarina of Time Master Quest. ^^), owning a Wii is a must for me when coupled with all the great downloadable N64 games, and the new Mario and Zelda one's. Most other games I play on my PC. There are a few PS3/XBox 360 exclusions that I want, which will probably cause me to buy them in the future, but the list is short. Good PC and Wii combination is win imo. And my chipped PS2 for all the Japanese Anime-fighters, Devil May Cry series, and Legacy of Kain series games offcourse. ^^

Woops, sorry for the delay... so Xbox 360 doesn't have good exclusivities, uh? Not even counting Japanese-only ones (which would seriously overpower the PlayStation 3 with an almighty list of STGs -read, serious games unlike that IDOLM@STER crap): Halo 3 and ODST (cry as much as you like, it rocks way beyond anything Sony will ever put out), Gears of War 2, Ace Combat 6, Blue Dragon, Star Ocean 4, Infinite Undiscovery, Magna Carta II and Lost Odyssey in case you like boring-ass dungeon crawlers, Bullet Witch, both Crackdown titles, Culdcept Saga, Dead or Alive 4, Fable II, Far Cry Instincts Predator, Forza Motorsport 2 and 3, Guilty Gear 2, Ninja Blade, Operation Darkness (which must be the single most underrated gem in the catalog) Project Gotham Racing 3 and 4, Too Human, and last but not least Senko no Ronde (this alone should convince you). How's that for "no interesting exclusivities", uh?

Let's see...

Looks at PS2 and PS1 by "Gaming Throne"...laughs...

Then again, people begging the pawn shop dealer to unload their PS2 and piles of games they paid $1000+ for so they could have 1/10 that to go towards their next $1000 PS3 plus a few games is what put it in the "Used" market for me to get it at a sane cost since I can wait a few years...

When I finally got a PS3 around the time MGS4 came out, I was under the false impression that ALL PS3 SKUs were backwards-compatible. I hadn't been keeping up with the news and simply assumed that the feature in question was included. I'll never forgive Sony for springing a metric ton of gimped hardware on people during that transition period where they dropped backwards-compatibility. Sony whined that the 360 is a "piecemeal" console with all its add-ons? Yeah, right. At least if you get the wrong 360 SKU, you can upgrade it later. If you get the wrong PS3 SKU, you're pretty much screwed.

I am loving my refurbished 60 GB PS3 from GameStop, since it is natively compatible with PS2 games.

Seriously, if you want one now, just walk in and ask where you can find one (i.e. what is the nearest location). (Sorry if you are outside of the USA.)

Or you can buy a broken 60GB on eBay and pay for Sony's repair service. They will give you the same exact model you have them repair.

No decent exclusives? It has the best exclusives. Really, there are a lot of things to hammer Sony over, but exclusives aren't one of them. Valkyria Chronicles alone is worth the (launch) price. So is Disgaea 3. I'm hard pressed to think of a single 360 exclusive you could pay me to touch. Yeah, they have tons of shitty FPS games, but if I liked that garbage genre I'd be playing them on my computer. I mean, there's Idolmaster, but that's it. This isn't 2006 anymore. I don't get how anyone can bash the PS3's library, at least in relation to the 360's. If you want to put it up against the PS2 or the SNES or the PC or what have you, sure, but what does the 360 have that isn't an FPS or Idolmaster? I have all three consoles and the one that's gathering dust, the one I have almost no games for, the one I regret buying... it's the 360, not the Wii. The Wii has a fuckton of shovelware and underwhelming 3rd party support, and it's basically just a Gamecube with a gimmicky controller, but you know what? It still has games I want to play. 360, well, it doesn't. And when I want to play an Xbox game like X-Men Legends, chances are I have to dig out my old Xbox. It's bullshit that Sony removed the full backwards compatibility in the first place, but at least perfect PS3s exist. I have one. Does anyone have a truly backwards compatible 360?

There's a lot of evidence that Sony never plans anything ahead of time. I'm pretty sure that they just react to the whims and complaints from their fanbase and say they where gonna do it all from the start.

That said, I'll finally dump my PS2 once there's some way to support most of its controllers and accessories and supports playing pirated ISOs via the hard drive.

Recently there are rumours of pictures of the ps3 slim.
from the looks of it, it doesn't look like it has a gloss finish , looks like the casing of the old ps2 :S
pretty cheap looking

Yeah, and those PS3s upscale PS2 games and smooth out the graphics quite a bit so they don't look so crappy on a 46" TV. Nice PS2 games like RE4, GOW look about as good as some early 360 and PS3 games when upscaled. Why Sony though it was a good ideal to drop that model I'll never know.

The Wii is not a nextgen console...

Meh, PS3 is a sinking ship, the sooner they start working on PS4 and avoid past idiocies, the better. As it is, good games still come PS2's way and Wii won the next gen race by the millions. Just admit your console failed to compete even with the 360 and got owned by a console with crappier hardware because your marketing and PR crew were retards, and do something better next time.
