Sony recently promised to make gaming the main focus of the PS3 and not Blu-Ray, and will work with game developers to make their jobs easier.
Maybe next year if they got their house in order I'll get one, but for now I have no reason to.

Same here. I have a PS2 already and it's good enough for now. I'll wait.

The reason games take so long to come out is because the PS3 has completely different architecture in the CPU to the 360 and thus far more complicated to develop for. Sony have never provided many user-friendly tools for developers to use since they started in the console market.
To port a game to the PS3 requires quite a big re-write of code to make it work on the Cell cpu which causes the delays. Like someone above said, Heavenly Sword is an exclusive and so they have not had to make 2 games in effect. Killzone 2 will probably be the same, but i would have though most of the PS3 games will be delayed for at least another 6-12 months, till the developers know how to use the hardware to maximum potential.

Well said.
And the insane amount of excessive cost will go nowhere but all the consumers(we)...

exactly... As The General has been saying all along, Sony just HAVE to make the most expensive (and in the PS3 and blue ray's case, unfinished!) hardware around and until now, people have been willing to pay it. I think Sony has gone too far this time and its not doing them any favours

just buy a cheap one off ebay and by the time you pay shipping, you've paid retail for it or close to. Then you can brag to all your friends that you have LAIR and "I had to get it imported from the states...its cool though, I import so much stuff from the states, I kind of have a connection..." See! all of a sudden you become 'the cool guy that has everything before everyone else' ..

New 40GB model and price cut.
PS3 games are delayed because blu-ray is new and developers are just learning how to tap the potential. Give it a few years but after they know the ins and outs of Blu-ray PS3 games will be surpassing 360 games in every aspect.

The delays have NOTHING to do with Blu Ray. About the only thing we'll ever see the extra space on the bd used for is uncompressed cutscenes. They'll use that space, but it's mostly to keep things uncompressed. That's a good thing, to be sure, but anyone who thinks it's going to give us extra content is only setting themselves up for disappointment.
We all know why the development on the PS3 is slow. Cause Sony designed the damn thing. They always make these alien technologies in their systems. Developers WILL figure it out and in 4 or 5 years, will be using the system to it's full potential, but until then, it's going to continue to make developers struggle.
