So PS3 is now in a price range I consider "Acceptable".

I will be coming into a considerable amount of money soonish and want to know whether I should get a PS3 or not.

Basically I haven't really followed the releases of exclusives.

I know if I got one I would want:

Valkyria Chronicles - Have wanted to play that game since I first saw it. Looks tasty.

There are a couple of games coming out I'll be interested in.

1. Alan Wake - Game looks tight and I hope it eventually comes out.
2. The Last Guardian - How could I not play a game from the same people that made shadow of colossus. I mean really.

The other good reason is that it's region free which is really good for games that are in Japan. Specifically fighting games because there are a lot of fighters that we play tournaments in that are JP only. Being able to get a game before it gets localized in the fighting scene is good too.

So those are pros for me, but here are the cons:

1. It's still really expensive for something that has the majority of games on 360 as well.
2. It lost backwards compatibility. I have a ton of PS2 games and PS1 games and surprise my PS2 stopped working 2 years ago.
3. Just is there really anything coming out that's worth me getting the system?
4. I could save the 300 and use it towards a computer instead and Diablo III should be out by 2011 hopefully. That has more promise than anything i can think of on PS3.

I don't know. So anyone up on the know, any games I missed out on that were amazing and exclusive to PS3? Also anything coming out that I should look at that will be exclusive. I was seriously going to have to buy a PS3 for FFXIII but then square solved my problem pretty fast on that one.
