OPM Editor: "No PS3 For Me!"

An OPM Editor has "gone to the dark side" and will noit be getting a PS3 this fall. The reasons? Just about the same as everybody esle. Too expensive, lack of key exclusive launch titles, and who the hell cares about Blu Ray?

From her blog:

But when I know that a console's direct competitors cost two-thirds or half of that price, it becomes harder for me to justify shelling out that kind of money. $600 might be worth it if there were several huge titles on the near horizon that were PS3-exclusive. But for the first year at least, there are very few big titles that are PS3 exclusive. GTA4 and Assassins will be available for the 360 at the same time.

The other big reason for people to shell out $600, BluRay, is frankly something I don't care about. So ultimately, I can't justify it. $600 is a lot of money, especially when I can get what -- for me at least -- will be a very similar experience for $400. I would like to own a PS3, and I hope that the price drops soon so I can consider it.
