A Question to Ps3 owners..

Do you believe that I should buy a Ps3? I am interested in some of its Exclusives (specifically, Demon Souls, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm, Ninja Gaiden, Metal Gear Solid 4, Little Big Planet, etc.,.) But I already own an Xbox 360.

One thing to keep in mind is that at the moment I am not able to play games in HD, so that pro is out of the equation.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

i would, when i got my ps3 like 2 years ago going to be 3, an 80g bundle with MGS4, so expensive and now its only 299 go for it and most of my ps3 games are exclusives also, and im not playing in HD

Yeah, plus many of the great exclusives coming out this year alone is worth buying one. Though i would invest some money afterwards in an HD TV.

you can get ninja gaiden for the 360 btw..

This is more of a system wars thing. Yes the system is worth getting. There are quite a bit of exclusives that are not available elsewhere.

The exclusives list is pretty big

Resistance

Motorstorm

Uncharted

Ratchet and Clank

Infamous

Demon's Souls

Warhawk

Socom

Little Big Planet

Hot Shots Golf

Heavy Rain

Modnation Racers

God of War

Twisted Metal

The Last Guardian

Yakuza

Valkyria Chronicles

3D Dot Game Heroes

MAG

Folklore

Killzone

some people like Metal Gear

Some multiplats have bonus content or some other feature something not present in the other version

RPG's like Mass Effect 2, Final Fantasy 13, and Star Ocean 4 are on one disc. The PS3 version of Star ocean features a Japanese voice track and some bug fixes. Mass Effect 2 has all the DLC included on the disc.

Eternal Sonata has a Japanese voice track and bonus dungeons

Ninja Gaiden 2 might lack the blood of the original but it adds a mission mode similar to the first game and adds online co-op. There are a few extra levels with playable characters other than Ryu. There are also bonus bosses.

The D-pad is better for fighters.

If you are interested in these things, then get the system.

only you can awnser that qustion TS. no one here knows your gameing habbits or Financial situation. if you spend a lot of time gameing and the 360 is not meating your gameing needs ect and you have the money to blow on another gameing system then yea id say its worth it. the ps3 has some very fine games. its my primary system and im completly happy with its library of games. And yes it def has some great exclussivs. But only you can awnser your qustion as to weather or not its worth it. also it worth noteing that you may want to consider spending that cash on a HDtv. in my exp and opinion it def makes a big def in the enjoyment of current gen games. you can find 27 inch "what i use" and 32 inch HDtv sets in the 250 to 450$ "USA" price range. and you dont need a top of the line bravia or what ever HDtv. those are great but even an entry lv set is so much better looking than even the best SDtv sets. i use a vizo set i got 3 years ago at wallmart for iirc 300. and it looks great. and you can now get them cheaper and there even better. you can even find some 32 inch sets with full 1080p and 120hz in the 400$ range. it does make a big def haveing HD imo. im not suggesting you pass on a ps3 for a hdtv just mentuning it for your consideration.

Thanks for the responses guys, I appreciate them.

And well, I had a birthday recently so I have some money leftover to spend.

I'll keep everyones HD remarks in mind the next time I'm out. Seems like its worth the money too. Oh and I am a huge Ps2 fan, so if Sony ever makes the Ps3 backwards compatitable again, I wouldn't even have to think about purchasing it.

You should get a PS3. There quite a few exclusive games that you'd like.

If you got the money for it, I'd say get it. I was a big Gamecube and PS2 fan and I haven't gone back to those systems since I got my PS3.

I'd get a 320 or a 250 size harddrive, 160 won't be enough. You can always buy a larger harddrive but why mess around with the PS3 until you have to.

As for games, the multiplayer is what I'm most interested in now and I didn't think that'd be the case when I got it - so make sure you have a decent internet connection if you plan to go online.

A few great games to start with are Black Ops (ignore the haters), Red Dead Redemption and Blur.

The Move is pretty good too but there aren't many games for it - Sports Champions and The Fight are probably the best.

Originally I was bought a PS, and over the years as the new consoles have been released I have been bought them, so have stuck solidly with Sony's console for quite a while now. On the one hand there is that aspect to my continued gaming on a PS3, but also as I have made a few good online friends too that I talk too maybe more infrequently than I should. I do think you get a great selection of games and a huge catalogue of games, although on these last two points the same could be said about the X-Box.

I have considered getting a X-Box but one of the things that puts me of getting one is something pretty simple, time, with working it's pointless me getting another console (and leaving one, or both to gather dust), when I have barely used my PS3 much over the past 3 or 4 months (only really since the release of Dragon Age 2 that I've started using it alot again).

Just as others have said before me, depending on your financial situation, I would say spending that money on a PS3 is worth. If you plan to cancel xbox live and just play them for single player or local(couch play) multiplayer; use that money towards a PS3 with a bigger hard drive. There is a great library of games as well, with significant differences when on PS3. There is also the added bonus of having a Blu-Ray player.

This is more of a system wars thing. Yes the system is worth getting. There are quite a bit of exclusives that are not available elsewhere.

I also was on the same boat earlier this month, but their are just way too mnay PS3 exclusives to pass up. I owned a Ps3 back in early 2010, but I never got to completely play Uncharted 2, God of war 3, Infamous, Heavy Rain, and Ratchet and Clank:CiT, Killzone 3, LBP 2, as well as all the nice exclusives coming out this year (Resistance 3, Uncharted 3, Last Guardian, Socom, and Infamous 2 among others), I couldn't pass it up. Online play is free, but I wouldn't get the system just based off that, XBL still trumps PSN(wish PSN just had more people communicating in more games).

I don't regret my purchase and have been enjoying it since I bought it. But, an HDTV should definitely be on your "What do I buy next" list ;)
