Is anyone here regretting buying a PS3?

So I think I've fallen out of love with my PS3.
I have a 360, an up to date gaming PC, and a PS3. My PS3 gets practically no play time, and I can't see myself playing it anymore in the near or distant future.
I'm mainly a PC gamer, so I have absolutely no interest in the big shooters coming out for PS3 (Resistance, Killzone, etc). Blu Ray is pretty much a non issue for me - There's no way I'm going to pay that much money for a single movie.
I've got 3 games for my PS3; Warhawk, MGS4, Uncharted. I love all of these games, but they alone hardly justify a game console purchase - especially one as expensive as the PS3.
The 360 and PC have a tonne of quality titles coming out this holiday season, and from what I can see, PS3 has sweet stuff all.
I'm not intending to turn this into a console war flame thread, I just want to see if anyone else feels completely underwhelmed with the PS3 at this point in time?

Other than that, I'm ok with the current PS3 library, though I'm pretty much waiting for games that, at best, have release dates that are TBA (meaning 2009).

So COD4 on the 360, still playing online constantly.
DMC4, on the PS3. No multiplayer.
Burnout Paradise, on my PS3 because I wasnt interested in the MP.
It has extended the playtime of my PS3 which would otherwise be flagging well behind my 360. I dont feel any regret at all, it is an excellent console and a blu ray player. I'd say if you have a HDTV grab Planet Earth on BD and that justifies the purchase then and there.
My PS3 is the complete package really. I felt let down by MGS4 and Warhawk but Uncharted I loved. Resistance was decent.
Have you played the LittleBigPlanet beta which came out yesterday? Believe the hype.
No regrets.
The thing is, in India, a legit PC game costs Rs.999 (~$25) while a PS3 game can cost upto Rs.2800 (~$70). So while I don't regret buying the PS3 (yet), I do regret not actively hunting for the BC version.
I think one of the major points of the PS3 is the PSN. There are a ton of great games there. Are you interested in survival horror? If so, go give Siren: Blood Curse a try, it's not that expensive, and if you're worried about price, you can download small chunks of it at a time. And WipEout HD is coming soon, which is another game I'm looking forward to. You can also try fun little games like Everyday Shooter and The Last Guy. That's the major thing that I'm excited about with the PS3. The exclusive games on X-Box Live don't even compare in my mind.
The only console this gen which I regretted buying was the Wii, because it didn't have many games I was excited about, or particularly interested in playing outside of Brawl and Sonic and the Secret Rings. But I regret selling it now because I want the new Wario game, and I'm hoping Capcom Vs. Tatsunoko makes it over here. What I'm saying here is, don't sell your PS3, because there might be things in the future about it that you'll be interested in playing.
To me, the PS3 exclusives are much more for me than what the 360 has, and everything else I want is multiplatform anyway.
Also, Igort, I fucking love your sig. Fucking love it.
Oh hey, regretting buying a PS3? Plug it into the interwebs, purchase Wipeout HD.
You're welcome.
LBP is probably the major thing that, I think at least, is going to turn a lot of people to the PS3. There is a lot of potential there.
You like Fantômas?
Oh yes.
Though it's mostly because I'm a huge Mike Patton fanboy. Fantomas rank pretty highly though of the stuff he's done.
I don't want to drive this anymore off topic, but I am also a huge Patton fanboy. Fantomas are pretty much my favourite thing ever though.
I haven't started the console up in 1 1/2 months and I played MGS4, Uncharted and Ratchet&Clank when I just got it.
Now there's nothing on the horizon which interests me at all.
i only own a ps3 so it's awesome. all the big multiplats? check. psn glory? check. little big motherfucking planet? check. i have a lot of money, but i still don't have enough to see everything the ps3 has to offer at the moment. if i had both systems? i'd simply give up.
basically you've been greedy and you've wrought this upon yourself
edit: also what kind of flamebait is this thread anyway. grrrrr
edit edit: it's kinda like saying "i have a ferrari and a lamborghini but the lamborghini doesn't go fast enough (since i put all the fuel in the ferrari)"
I am still debating on getting Fallout 3 for PC, or PS3.
Also, Mirror's Edge looks good.
I don't regret my purchase at all, and when PlayOn gets Netflix working on their service I will be a happy camper.

I'll see what happens in a few years.
Mirror's edge is multiplat.
Including PC.
That being said, it's not, and I doubt it will eeeeeeever be my primary game system for this gen, but at least unlike my Wii, I still found a reason to keep the PS3 :P
You need to be the sort of obsessive loon that gets excited about middling genre titles to really be into the PS3 right now.

I don't regret getting the ps3 though because I primarily got it as a BR dvd player, and for that (with my 40 inch bravia) I think it's awesome. I look at the ability to play video games on it a bonus, and some games that I've played for it make it worth the money easily.
I want a step in the right direction.

I am totally regretting my Wii purchase though, which breaks my heart. I haven't seen anything even remotely interesting since Galaxy
The primary platform of Mirror's Edge is the PS3 though, isn't it? That does tend to give it a slight edge over the others.

I'll probably feel a little better when Little Big Planet and Resistance 2 comes out, but still..
The era where this is true is pretty much over.
猿も木から落ちる
not really. you could also, say, not own a 360 too.
Well I suppose this could be true but has there been much AAA stuff thats hitting cross-platform lately?
猿も木から落ちる
This is important for me.
has there been much AAA stuff that hasn't lately?
damn straight. it's saved me hundreds of bucks already and will save me countless more
PSN ID: fearsomepirate
not with anything recent
Like at all?
I wouldn't say so. It may not be true for the PS3 as a lead platform, but there were plenty of games this past year that were definitely better on one platform, especially HD vs Wii and to a lesser extent, 360 vs PS3. Look at the EA football games, Valve games, and XBLA vs PSN.
The statements from some developers that the PS3 is a nightmare to develop for seem to back this up.
With PS3 exclusive content.
Regardless, I LOVE my PS3. Yes, in that way.
