I'm not even sure anymore. It costs a lot, and the number of announced exclusives isn't that great. I'm not going to buy into any console without a few decent exclusives, and there just haven't been enough confirmed yet.
Backwards compatibility is nice, since I have a good collection of PS2 and PS1 games. On the other hand, I see that it won't be region-free, and I have games from all three regions in my collection. I doubt my Swap Magic will work, and as for HDLoader... not likely.
I was intrigued by the homebrew capabilities inherent in the PS3, because it can have various OS including several distributions of Linux instaled, but then I found out that access to the GPU is crippled in Linux mode, so no chance of a decent HDTV media player.
I'm also still pissed that there won't be a rumble feature in the controllers. I know that isn't Sony's fault, but I can't be happy about it. That's another kick in the teeth for backwards compatibility. I'm not exactly ecstatic about the motion tracking capabilities. Not like it's a bad thing, but... meh. We have the Wii for that, ya know. I'm also not a fan of wireless controllers in general. At least they can be used with a wired connnection...
