is it worth picking up a ps3


Recommended Posts

Get one :D

I recommend getting Motorstorm, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ratchet & Clank Future Tools of Destruction, Uncharted Drakes Fortune, Warhawk, Calling All Cars, Everyday Shooter, Call of Duty 4, Unreal Tournament 3, Folklore, Resistance Fall of Man, Super Stardust HD, Blast Factor, Heavenly Sword, The Orange Box.

He already has a 360 -- I think he's looking for PS3 exclusive games that would interest him, hence him mentioning Resistance and Ratchet and Clank.

I never quite understand ppl who buy a console for games that *will* come out.

If you're wondering if you want to buy a PS3 *NOW*, take a look at the games available *NOW*

Are you going to actually use the thing when you buy it? or will it sit in your media cabinet collecting dust as you wait for games to come out?

meanwhile the 45nm shrink comes out, and smaller, cooler, cheaper *and* more reliable PS3's are released. So then what was the point of buying early?

Also, people keep mentioning the same two games, FFXIII and MGS4

Who knows how the games will turn out? What if FFXIII is another FFVIII? It's seems silly to me to expect a game will be good based solely on the brand. As if brands haven't gone to crap before? C'mon guys. Buy games based on actual quality, and that you don't know for sure till the game is released.

Till then, enjoy your money on things you'll actually use!

Um, why wouldn't you buy a console based on the games that are coming out in addition to the games that are already out? The PS3 looks to have a killer lineup this year (depending on tastes)... why would that not be a huge selling factor?

Some of the developers in Final Fantasy XIII are veterans. Kazushige Nojima, known for his work on many titles including Final Fantasy VII and Kingdom Hearts, will return as the scenario writer. Eiji Fujii, previously the movie director of Final Fantasy XII, will return as the movie director. Isamu Kamikokuryō, previously the co-art director of Final Fantasy XII, will return as the art director, with Tetsu Tsukamoto designing the weapons. The main programmer will be Kazumi Kobayashi.

That's why!

Doubt it://

The PS3 is selling well in Europe and any changes such as a 160GB PS3 will no doubt be enrolled in America first and then trickle back to Europe at a later date, if even at all.

What I will say though, is if there is a price drop annoucnement at GDC, the UK will likely receive some sort of cut as well - So for that reason I'd hold off until then on your purchase.

There isn't really anything big out between now and GDC, so keep your cash in your wallets guys;))

My friend keeps saying he's waiting for the "next-gen" white one, and for all we know Sony might choose to give Europe some love!

It's not like the money's burning a hole in your pocket, so it might be worth holding on for a bit.

Yea i suppose i can wait...... i hate money in my bank and i get paid on the 15th!!

I'm going to go ahead and hope you meant you HAVE money, instead of hating money.

Anyways, waiting for them to release their new smaller and cooler cell into the current PS3s (or a redesigned smaller one) is tempting, but that may not happen until the 2008 holiday season or even later... Soo I'm not sure.

I'm fine with my 360 for the time being, and I'm not a huge movie nut so I can definitely go for a while without a blu-ray player. I'll just wait until at least summer.

i love threads like this, ... fodder, lol

i cant tell you whether or not its worth it either way, it is upto the individual as far as they see it in value. i will however tell you my personal experience. my personal experience is that my ps3 has been collecting dust ever since i bought it and the only reason i boot it up is to watch a bluray movie or turn it on to check for system updates. im not saying the games are terrible, i own resistence and warhawk, but they are not as compelling to me as 360 games. COD4 online everyday. Bioshock= wow.

I was debating on getting one due to the Blu Ray V's HD-DVD and not that many games out there for the PS3. I have a 360 and love it dude! but decided to get the PS3 and try it out! Blu Ray kicks ass!! I stream HD movies over my network and its super easy! I have COD4 and its awsome, got UT3 and Time Crisis4! its a killer system just need to make it work for you! I say if you have the cash go and try it if you dont like it return it! ;)
