I plan on getting one by the time it gets its price drop in late 08/09, FF13 should be out slightly before then anyway. Hopefully by then they'll have fixed their emulator too, which if you ask me is still in beta.
Oh please, the Wii isn't even in the same ball field. The SNES is a better match for the PS2 in initial sales.
Slapped him, did you? I can't stand idiot sales reps. I don't know what that converts to, but in Aus the PS2 went for $700 initially, whereas the PS3 will be going for closer to (if not over) $1000. I would think that translates similarly to the rest of the world too.
Well, you missed out on SSX, but that's about it.
Well, it is the cheapest BluRay player on the market, but that's not saying much I suppose. I don't think people are viewing BluRay or HDDVD in the same way as they did DVDs though.
The PS2 had the most successful launch ever, with the possible exception of the Wii.

The guy in GAME tried to assure me that the PS3 price tag of £425 (no games) is the same price the PS2 was selling for when it first came out. :/

there were certainly no must-have PS2 games for an absolute age.

Which suggests that the vital question this time around might well be "Is Blue-Ray going to act as a similar crutch for the PS3?"
