Get the PS3. The PS4 isn't due out for another couple of years, whereas the new iPhone will be out in another 3 months or so.

Aside from the initial expense, what's going to cost you more on a monthly basis...games for the console, or voice/data coverage on the phone?

If you have real friends, get the phone. If you have no friends or "internet friends" (which also means no friends), get the PS3.

Easy choice

The iPhone 3GS was released in July. Apple does not update them every four months. There won't be a new one until the following July.

There's your answer. Don't waste your money on unnecessary products.

Buy a cheap phone if you don't have one, the acoustic if you like it to write songs and then save the rest of the cash.

Here's a reasonable reason:

Given that you'll get the iPhone, you will then realize that the monthly voice and data bills are non-consensually penetrating you in the excretory orifice, you'll wish that you'd gotten something worthwhile for your money.

Ergo, get the PS3. It can play Blu-Ray (no need for a separate player) and can do lots of things. The iPhone is like a thing with lots of cool functions and no real purpose, because it has lots of cool functions and no real purpose. 8 GBs of storage?? ONLY 8? WHAT?

Plus, once you get the PS3, the resale value is decent. iPhones do not resale very well.

Get the iPhone and cry because it doesn't really do anything but cost you tons of money and make you realize you can get a iTouch for cheaper with 32 gigs: Sadness

Get a PS3 and win at life: priceless.

I was discussing that with someone today, It's cool, but does nothing lasting.

I said, first of all, I can't afford ANOTHER line with MANDATORY data plans, plus texting too that's an extra 60 dollars a month on my bill that I could use for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Exactly.

Think of it this way: A phone is used to call people and text. If you HAVE to have data plans, shop around. if not, get the iTouch, because it does all the iPhone does, and with Skype you can call people as long as you have WiFi.
