I think you can easily argue it was worth owning an SNES and Genesis, and an N64 and PSX. And if you were into certain types of games, you could make good arguments for owning a PS2, Xbox, and GC.

With how few exclusives there were between 360 and PS3, was it worth it to own both this time around?

I owned all 3 consoles but then my 360 died.

And I didn't care.

IMO there has never been a mainstream (Nintendo/Sega/Sony/Microsoft) console not worth owning.

That's an add-on, not a console.

Even then, I would like to have one!

At the very least, PS3 brought us Uncharted and inFamous games, and the 360 brought us a few more PGRs and Halos. That sounds like it's worth owning both

I'd say it's worth it. My PC isn't up to snuff, so I dig some Xbox/PC exclusives such as Mass Effect 1, MGS4 is best plus I dig blu-rays so PS3 is worth it, sure.

For me? Not really.

360 died, and I never went back. Just bought all my stuff for the PS3 and PC. 360 just sits there, dead.

I think so.

For me, both have enough exclusives that I'm glad I have both.

I believe he was saying that he defined mainstream as "consoles by those manufacturers" so people wouldn't come up with stuff like N-Gage or Atari Jaguar.

Depends if you're into PC gaming, I suppose. There are quite a few 360 games that I've loved, and would have missed out on if I decided to get a PS3 instead, but most of them were also available on PC. The PS3 has enough tempting exclusives that I'll probably buy one eventually.

Buying both systems at/near launch wouldn't have been worth it at all, though.

Just in case I ever want to get it fixed. Which will probably be never, but hey, it makes my entertainments system look good.

Eh. I owned both consoles. I probably got more enjoyment out of those three consoles and the games I bought than people who paid the same money on one console and a bunch more games.

Eh, I guess. I prefer the 360 given the choice, but the PS3 has some good exclusives. And it's handy having a bluray player.

Still the number one reason for the success of the Internet.

I currently have all three.

Can't really say it wasn't worth it.

Valkyria Chronicles is the only reason I don't regret the PS3 majorly. One of my favorite games... but worth the $500 I paid for the PS3? ehh.

I'm gonna say no. It's sad that I don't feel the 360 is worth it, because I do like some of what it offers.

Until Last Guardian comes out, there's no reason to buy anything. Or play anything, for that matter.

Fortunately I did get to play ToV during my 360 ownership. Mass Effect I'll play when I get a good PC. I miss the XBLA, though. Ms. Splosion Man was an absolutely joyful experience.
