I'm feeling sick today. I've owned every PS console since the beginning and very much looked forward to the day that I could afford/justify a PS3.
One of the MAIN reasons I would lean to PS3 is that I'd want my library of 100+ games to be playable on the new machine that I buy.
With the changes that SONY has made/will make (the backwards compatibility will eventually be gone for all models) one of the main selling points of PS3 will be gone for me when I am finally able to afford this machine.
When my PS2 gives up the ghost I'll have 100+ unplayable games unless I can still buy a PS2 new or used at that time. My plan WAS to buy a PS3 at that time but now there is less incentive to do so. When making a next gen decision I now am not emotionally tied to the PS name as much as no matter what I'll have to have two systems going and will make a decision highly influenced by price/games/online experience etc. This doesn't bode will for PS in my opinion as a next gen purchaser has one less reason to 'stick' with PS.
I've been heavily involved in blogging about the PS3 and emotionally need a break as I really feel let down by SONY. Just needed a release! Bid as you must.
