Buying a Ps3 in a week and was wondering is it worth it if you have a 360 already? Thanks.

If you can afford both, yes. If you can't afford both, then trade the 360 to get a ps3.

i know i will be bashed for this, but IMO not really. The only exclusive worth playing is RFOM and that is about it, besides that

Frame-rates are under scrutiny for many games but that is the DEVelopers fault. If i were you i would wait to the 45nm proc came out as it would save you power and it would be quieter plus its due to arrive around the same time as all the big name exclusives come out such as KZ2 and FF, also Socom and RFOM 2.

Thats one way to look at it, However you ca Sell your 360 if you only think you need the one console. IMO the PS3 is really gonna pick up speed this year and a purchase this year will be a definate for people who want to experience what the PS3 is truely capabile of. A great range of Exclusive titles, services and features are all coming in 2008 making the PS3 a brillaint System. However if you are used to the Xbox360 and are happy with its game line up this year (not taking a dig!) then you'd be more than happy sticking with a 360 Just remember Most of 360's great/hyped titles will also appear on PS3 GTA for example (MOST, i only said MOST OK!) The PS3 is the best HD gaming system imo (imo again!) Choose your gaming style, what you want out of a system then you should be able to decide. The PS3 is an ever expanding media hub with great games falling into place this year The 360 has media functions but is more recongnised as a gaming machine This is what i think, if you dare start winging about me being a fan boy you deseve to be shot! Hope this helps

And i think that Uncharted should also be mentioned as an exclusive that is worth playing as well as R&C FTOD, IMO .

In my opinion, ps3 exclusives beat out 360 exclusives, for the most part. Resistance, Ratchet, Warhawk, Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, Folklore... all really solid games. If you like CCGs, Eye of Judgement is good. There's maybe 2 or 3 360 exclusives that I would bother playing (Mass Effect, Bioshock... maybe Gears), and none that I would trade my ps3 games for. Add in the ps3 exclusives that are on the way, and it's a landslide. The differences in multiplats are rarely noticable, and I would take un-noticable frame issues over unreliable hardware, and having to pay to play online.

If you have the funds why not take the leap. I have both and enjoy both but if I could only have one I would have to go with the 360. It just has more games and better overall quality than the PS3 at the moment. Thats not saying that the PS3 won't over take the 360 eventually but as it stands the 360 is the better console for gaming.

Keep the 360 and if it is a must you can get a PS3. If you do, try and find a 80g or 60g. Some stores might have a few 80g left. Target, Walwart, and Toys R Us still had a few. These system are backward compatible and offer you the most for your money. The 40g, which Sony is pushing now, is not backward compatible and offers you fewer games to play. GOOD LUCK!

I myself own both consoles (360, PS3). I would recommend buying them both. Money shouldn't be a problem since you are in a situation to own them both. Go for it - this will be a great year for exclusives

Warhawk is outstanding. Best online multiplayer shooter in my opinion.

both are not as good as cod4.

Ut3 although an amazing game gameplay and visually wise, has a pretty shallow online mode that doesn't keep any records of your feats (i may be spoiled by cod4 and R:FOM, but somehow i just fell like those stats make your time put into playing the game seem somewhat tangible, and not in the exact meaning of the word. Despite that, it's still great. Warhawk.. well it's actually one of the rare games that i sold rather close to it's purchase date. i don't know, i just wasn't feeling it, but i may very well be, and most likely am in the minority on that one.

if you are going to buy warhawk, get the online version from the PS store, TRUST ME ON THAT. (only down side you won't be able to sell it, in case...)

I own both and I can say that the PS3 is easily my system of choice. It has the games I want to play. Period. The other system is good too, but for my gaming preferences, the PS3 is where it's at.
