The reason I'm buying a PS3 (next year)

It's a 51 minute long video, 250mb big. But in it are two of the coolest things I have ever seen. Home (although I admit this borrows a lot of things from a lot of places) is pretty much Myspace meets World of Warcraft. But without creepy Rupert Murdoch, fantasy creatures, agressive advertising, pedophiles, or people complaining about how the devs nerfed the Paladins.
LittleBigPlanet, on the other hand, just has to be seen. If I said anything about it, I wouldn't stop.
Home is coming out sometime in the fall (for free), and LittleBigPlanet is coming out on disc sometime early next year. Which is convenient, because I'll be recovering from building a new computer, spending 300$ on Hippiefest, putting $1000 in an IRA, and going on a weeklong binge in Ocean City, MD.
If you have the bandwidth and the time, it's a really cool video after the first 10 minutes or so.

First off, I'll admit LittleBigPlanet looks totally awesome. But I won't buy a 600 dollar system to play it.
And really, the Home this is just a glorified chat program. Like, it's nice to have and all, but does it really add any major functionality? Besides, it's going to be filled with ads (which they've basically admitted already), and you're gonna have to pay for all the good stuff in it.
I'm trying not to be biased against Sony just because I'm pissed at how badly they've been treating their customers, but their GDC showing thus far hasn't sold me.

another reason...
I spend maybe an hour a month playing games if that and even then it's mainly crap like UT04 and Quake 3... I haven't booted my Windows partition since I finished NWN2 in early January, last console I owned was a Nintendo 64...
I do spend a horrendous amount of time messing around with my Linux installation though.
If I did buy a PS3 it's a pretty trivial matter to install VLC on it plug the PS3 into my router or install a wireless wrapper (nasty binary module :( ) whack SAMBA on it and and hey it's on my network, I could then stream movies MP3's etc off my server and onto my Flatmates HD TV with he's insane home theatre sound system. Alternatively I could just waste time watching You-Tube videos on said TV system. Either way I imagine I'll have a bunch of fun messing around with it getting it all set up.
And if a game I want to play is ever released I'll be able to play it with min of fuss :)
Of course the ps3 is expensive it will all depend whether its out in Australia around July (when I get my Tax return).

Yet. o_O
Also Scytale, I think the PS3 is out end of this month?

I won't be buying one anytime soon, unfortunately I don't have $1000 lying around, maybe if I get a good tax return...
