:I am definitely going to pick up a PS3 (so I can play MGS 4: Guns of the Patriots), but in about 2-3 years when I can pick up the system for a couple hundred bucks, lol.
There is no way in hell I am going to pay over $3-400 for any system. I finally picked up PS2 and xbox when they were around $150 and I am enjoying the hell out of the games I can now pick up for 10-20 bucks. I just don't get the benefit of full servers on some games.
IMO Sony screwed up adding Blu-Ray to all systems. It should have been an external option. It drove the price way too high, and I don't think many will see the Blu-Ray as a deal maker to buy the system. Who knows though, that might change in a couple years.
I also read in Game Informer on a preview of a game (I can't remember which one. I will quote the whole reference if called out) that the load times will be longer for PS3 as opposed to the 360 because of the Blu-Ray drive. That's definitely not a selling point either.
You can copy PS3 games to the hard drive so they can load up much faster 
And sorry to tell you but you are going to have a real long wait to be able to buy the PS3 for under even $300
