Re: Do I need a PS3?
I had the same problem with this.. It tends to come down to the console Exclusives for me.
I love the Xbox because everything online is just done so much better in my opinion but.. I really wanted to play The Getaway 3. I then sold my PS3 when I found out it was cancelled as I feel the best exclusives belong to Xbox.
Gears of War and Halo alone are in a league above the likes of Uncharted and Heavy Rain.

Yes but they're both shooters. Uncharted is an adventure game, LittleBigPlanet is a platformer, Heavy Rain is a life simulator...
PS3 is better for variety of exclusives but I'd still agree that the 360 is the better console overall and the £40 a year pays for itself over and over.

Re: Do I need a PS3?
The original question has been only about PS3 so it doesn't really matter which console is better or has better exclusive. But at the same time PS3 exclusives are one of the few points that could convince a man having 360 to buy also PS3.

In terms of exclusive games the ps3 is way ahead of the xbox

Re: Do I need a PS3?
Hmm. Despite having had a 360 long before i also bought a PS3, I'd have to agree with that.
The 360 has had some excellent exclusives (e.g. Gears, Halo, Fable), but I think the PS3 has overtaken it regarding exclusives.
As for the comment about Gears & Halo being in a league above Uncharted... totally different games... However if they had to be compared, I'd say that Uncharted stomped all over Gears, as it looks better and has a far better story, characters, and script, even though one is a shooter & the other is an action-adventure.

What are you on about, i have the first PS3 which i brought the day it came out, and it plays all ps1 and ps2 games so i'd call that backwards compatable

Re: Do I need a PS3?
Irrelevant to the OP. You have a launch model. The PS3 has not been backwards compatible for nearly four years now. Unless the OP or anyone else considering buying a PS3 now wanted to buy an extremely old second hand model, the only option is one which is not backwards compatible.

Re: Do I need a PS3?
The xbox 360 is like hanging out the back end of some fat bird. The PS3 is like Rhinana riding you.

Rhinana? Is that a cross between a Rhino & a banana?

Backwards does not bother me anyway. I have a PS2 which is fully backwards compatible with PS1.
Hmm the exclusives dont really sway it for me except for maybe Heavy Rain

it aint a big deal really is it , my ps2 is sat on the shelf below my ps3 and xbox 360 , its just the matter of flicking a couple of buttons on the remote to play it, i appreciate its nice to have all your games compatible with the ps3 so they look that bit better upscaled into HD with smoothing lol , like roger said if you really want backwards compatiblity TRY and get hold of a launch ps3 these are so RARE and probably cost £££££, so ask yourself is it really worth it
