Hello all,

Sounds like you had a pretty cool birthday, mine is coming up next and though I have been offered a few surprises it mostly up to myself to make it a good experience.

I myself was also considering getting one of those new PS3s but the employee of the store where I asked about it discouraged me, bringing up the same subjects mentioned in this thread.

On the moment I still have my old PS2 and I wonder if it would be such a loss if I would get this model instead of a more expensive PS3 in time.

Well another deciding factor on the moment are the games available at the moment, to be honest I haven't seen any games yet I really must play.
I am interested in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and Resident Evil 5 but I would also like to play some original new games.

It would be great if a sequel to Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross was released on the PS3, that would make it a must buy for me.
