CNNMoney - "The question is: If you're somehow able to find a PlayStation 3 on a store shelf this year, is it worth buying one? Sadly, the answer is not yet. The system is too expensive for what most people will get out of it -- and the initial slate of games don't offer enough innovation or thrills to justify the purchase."
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
how can you advice someone not to buy things he want ? ms must pay you a lot of money, i mean come on, a ferarri costs near 3000000$, and you make not such statemants about that, whats with you ? xbot.
Well, if you are a Sony Loyalist, then this article doesn't make sense. If no way would you buy a WII or 360, then get the PS3.
But sadly, if your on the fence about which system to buy, or not quite in the market for a Next Gen system, then I would definately wait.
The games from launch have been of poorer quality in comparison to the 360 titles.
Online is rather lackluster, actually it's pretty atrocious.
Blue Ray, although nice, just ain't there yet. Maybe in 2 to 3 years, when BlockBuster has titles to rent and their are more titles to buy, it would be a good investment.
Overall, if your looking for a solid gaming experience as of now, the 360 and from what I am seeing, the WII also is the only way to go.
That being said, in a year or so when the PS3 gets the chinks out of the armour, it will be a solid system. As of now, it's really an overpriced system that you really don't get much out of.
The ferarri may cost near 3000000 BUT it is flawless. The ps3 is no ferarri and very far from flawless.
Saying that the PS3 doesn't have innovative games god this guy doesn't even know what he's talking about considering he's a moron the PS3 has way more innovative features and games than the 360 had and plus this article is all about being pestimistic of the PS3 you guy's alway's fall for that !crap! all the time.
Moneycentric people have no imagination or patience.
