I got the ps3 because there were quite a few ps3 only titles that I wanted, I dont care about playing with other people, I refuse to pay a subscription, blu-ray is nice, and there are less hardware problems.
NOTE: Steam will be on Mac. That does not mean all games available on Steam will be available on Mac.
All Valve games will be available, and, since they're making it a Tier 1 platform, subsequent Valve releases will ship on Mac, PC, and Xbox simultaneously. But there are a LOT of non-Valve games on Steam.
@4, Plus its one hell of a media server. I use PlayOn and can easily stream Hulu, YouTube, Netflis (thought there is a disc for that now), plus every video file on my computer. I actually have not played a game on mine in a while, though with FF13 out that's going to change.
I've been on Macs since the early 1990s (anyone remember the SE-30?). I like games, and have always been bummed that PCs have tons more games. I'm not hard-core enough to buy a PC just to use as a gaming platform.
Question: Now that Macs are using Intel processors, shouldn't it be easier to port PC-based games over to the Mac? Instead, there seems to be fewer games than ever.
@14 Nice! I have a separate media computer running Boxee, so I haven't tried it on the console. Such a nice option. As for FF, omg. so. gorgeous. 1080p <3
Mac nerds are just hipsters who are too fat to wear skinny jeans.
Which reminds me, I need to start preparing for Starcraft 2.

Talent and stories will abound.

Yeah I am :) yay blizzcon 2008!
I also got a second invite so my boyfriend is playing too. It's like I won the SC2 lottery.

I'm glad this is happening, so that Macnerds can get in on the fun.
