Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.I used to game on both sytems and when my Xbox died I found myself not missing it as much as i thought i would.There were a few games I wanted to play such as Castle Crashers, Braid, Limbo, GTA IV Episodes, and Mass Effect 1, but those all ended up coming out on the PS3.Then I found myself really getting into the Sony exclusives...inFAMOUS, Ratchet & Clank, Metal Gear Solid, Uncharted, Resistance, Killzone, Heavy Rain, MotorStorm, Twisted Metal, Wipeout HD, Dead Nation, LittleBigPlanet, God of War III (was such a masterpiece!)Sony really started picking it up with indie stuff too: PixelJunk Shooter, Flower, Guacamelee, Sound Shapes, Super StarDust HD, Unfinished Swan, Shatter, etc.Xbox often gets billed as the SHMUP's console king, thanks to Cave, but the PS3 has some really excellent shooters as well. (Sine Mora, Soldner X 2, Under Defeat HD, 1942 Joint Strike). OK, so I have to admit I DO miss those Cave shooters! Hehe <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />I think the biggest draw for me was PSN Plus. I signed up for $50 for 15 months.Sony has been quite generous with the free games and discounts (The Pinball Arcade was free this week for both PS3 & PS Vita).Speaking of which, if you own a Vita, the PS3 makes even more sense to buy games for. Many games (TPA & Zen Pinball included) are "Cross-Buy" which is when they give away the Vita port for free when you buy the PS3 version. It's definitely a nice perk.It's fun to look forward to getting new freebies & discounts each week too.To be honest I think the real value here is the 2GB of cloud saving, auto game patching, and trophy syncing that comes free with Plus. It saved my ass when my hdd became corrupted last year. Though I had many of my saves backed up on a USB stick, thy were not up to date, and I couldn't back up quite a lot of the "protected saves". So the cloud had me covered!$4/month is worth it alone for piece of mind.One last thing, then I will shut up about the PS3 <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> ...There is something called "Cross-Controller" where the Vita can be used along with the PS3. It's only currently utilized by a few games, but it would be great if Farsight would consider taking advantage of this. As they have done with the Wii U, the portable unit can be used as the DMD. The OLED screen on the Vita would look awesome displaying this.</blockquote>
