I'm going to level with you. The **ONLY** people I currently know who have "plans" to get a PS3 don't know ANYTHING about either system. Most of them come up with some made up information with no sources. I remember one telling me he said the PS3 is coming out...
"months before the 360,"
another told me the Xbox 360 is "just a computer with the new windows OS,"
"The PS3 already has 400 games coming out for it by christmas"
"The Xbox live thing is going to be 100$ per month" (LOL)
"MS and nintendo merged"
"ati cards suck" (wow!)
"xbox 360 is going to use cartridge based games now"
"the ps3 has 10 times the processing power of the 360"

The list goes on...

They might not all be EXACTLY word for word, it's to the best of my memory. The point is the jist of what they're saying. I'd honestly love to know where they get their info from. To sum it up, this is the knowledge base of the average PS fan that I meet. I could list them forever but they really don't differ much from that. It almost makes me feel like I have to educate people before I can talk to them. Keeps me awake, I guess.
I feel your pain Diamond. I'm in school and everyone always tells me "PS3 is comming out on Halloween", "The PS3 can also play PC games", "The PS3 is going to get Halo .", "PS3 will also have a demo of the PS4" It is always a battle between my schoolmates, friends, computer teachers and even family (those disputes get ugly!). I feel like my life is a constant battle between PS people and me.
