Buying a PS3 Tomorrow


Recommended Posts

Okay, i feel the time is right to finally go ahead and purchase a PS3.

Obviously i am going to get the Console with the GT5p bundle since it is free but i phoned up GAME and they have told me of three bundles they are starting tomorrow.

PlayStation 3 40GB with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and FREE Rainbow Six Vegas 2 ?299.99>

PlayStation 3 40GB with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and FREE Lego Star Wars: Complete Saga?299.99b>

PlayStation 3 40GB with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue and FREE Uncharted: Drake's Fortun?299.99/b>

Now i already have two of those three games on 360 so i guess the most logical choice would be to pick Uncharted but is it even worth it? I could pick Vegas 2 and trade it in at another GAME store since i'll get more money for that title.

I already have a ?10 gift card to use in GAME and ?4 on my reward card to use.

What does everyone think i should choose?

I haven't 100% decided yet as it really does decide on how much i get this month but i will find out soon enough tomorrow morning.

Uncharted is a very good game, but I would go with RSV2, simply because it is newer, and has online play. Though sometime I would recommend you get Uncharted. :)

uncharted is fantastic, I'd go for that. get your HDMI cable cheap online, instore ones ain't worth the price.

Hmm thats good to hear. I am more of less thinking about getting uncharted but all i get is mixed opinions and i guess the trade in value of it isn't that great. I already have a HDMI cable to use so that i will not have to worry about.

I already have Rainbow Six Vegas 2 on XBOX360 (Plus Lego Star Wars: TCS) but i was going to pick that because i would get more trade in value since it is newer but i haven't expericenced Uncharted yet.

to add a little more, I did complete uncharted in 2 days, although its very good I'm not one for replaying to collect stuff. GT5P should keep you ticking over.

if you want another pad your best bet is get a DS3 thru ebay or something, as they are just as cheap on ebay as a sixaxis instore.

maybe pick up the one that comes with RB6v2... trade in and pick up CoD4(unless you already have that for 360 as well)

Yes i already got COD4 on 360 aswell ;)

I already have a DS3 pre-ordered over at dvd.co.uk for ?22.99 but no-one knows when they will be in stock. I could just order one from YesAsia instead for around ?26 delivered.

Uncharted if you want a great Single Player experience and not much else.

R6V2 if you want a okay SP experience and also a game online, a game which last time I heard, had some serious online issues overall, and especially on the PS3. With that said you would hope Ubisoft releases a patch or fixes things sooner than later, but they are not known for their fast response time with patches and this game series.

I think i have changed my mind for now and will hold out a little longer as a pricedrop looks like it will be coming soon.

If you haven't played the first R6 game then I'd go for the R6V2 combo. Uncharted is a lot of fun, but you'd get more use out of a FPS with online play.

Uncharted is a good game, if you like Tomb Raider, but not much replay value there. I'll probably play through it again at some point, but those types of games lose a lot on the second play through.

Have you played it through on Hard and Crushing? Once I played on Normal I immediately wanted to play again to find treasures I missed and up my rewards.

I was going to get one tomorrow too, but then I looked at the game library and realized there is nothing interesting that I can't get on my 360. Looks like I may wait until MGS4 now.

Well, what genre of games do you like? Maybe we can recommend something?

I like all genres. There just isn't anything that makes me want to run out and buy one right now. Uncharted is ok (played it for a while at my buddies). UT3 will be coming to the 360 soon. Ratchet I don't like much. That's about it. MGS4 is really the only game coming for the PS3 before fall that interests me. I think I'll wait till it comes out.

Threre really isn't a huge reason to buy one yet it you already have a 360. I bought one since I happened to find a 60GB model and snagged it up, but I haven't played it much (except for when the 360 went to TX for repairs). Uncharted was fun, Heavenly Sword was surprisingly good, and so was Ratchet and Clank. Unreal is decent if you use KBM, and Warhawk is pretty cool also. Other than that, not a whole lot going on with the PS3. There just aren't enough exclusives yet. Resistance has decent MP but the campaign is weak. Also, a 360 user will be frustrated with the lack of online features and the in game chat is always kinda sketchy. All of this will change of course, and eventually the PS3 will be the dominant console, just not anytime soon. Yes, MGS is coming out soon but it's not the second coming of christ or anything, but at least it's another good exclusive.
