I will likely buy a Playstation 3 for the following reasons:

  1. I want to play Street Fighter IV. I think that this newest fighting game installment will have competitive online play, and that is an important aspect in a fighting game for me. I look forward to being able to play against others from around the world and the Playstation 3 has a relatively easy time accessing network connectivity.
  2. I want to play Final Fantasy XIII. At the current time, this is the only role-playing game that I look forward to on the Playstation 3, as all of the other titles that I see which are currently out are Western titles.
  3. I see a Playstation 3 as slightly more than a typical console. It can do certain things that blur the line between console and computer if you have not been keeping up to date with consoles, or gadgetry, and I can justify the cost of it if I come up with other things to do with it since it is lacking on the game side for me.
