Hey guys, I'm highly considering buying a PS3 and I've been looking through all of the different games and the graphics are amazing. Anyone have any insight on this? Maybe some pros and cons to it before I actually make my decision? thanks!

I'll just say buy because everybody who bought the PS3 love the multimedia features and a lot of the Online games (Warhawk and Call of duty 4)

MGS4 Killzone2 should be proof enoughsmeags11

How can they be proof when they're not even released yet?

Pro's, it's quility hardware and has evertyhing inbuilt and is good value for money if your going to use everything on it

Con's, the software is still abit basic and lacks afew features but by summer I imagine they'll be impletlment with things like HOME

Those games will be amazing and take a look at the stickied thread that abdelmessih101 made. It is a great PS3 FAQ thread and should help you with a decision. My opinion is that you should get one now. I love mine.

I, who have all 3 consoles 8) recommendo you to get it. It's not just for some games, but because it simply is the best consoles. The 360 has the best games NOW IMO, but there's things like haze, killzone, little big planet, and mgs4. Since you're a fan of MGS, you can't go wrong with the ps3. Also, you might like uncharted, as I did, so you could try the demo and if you enjoyed it, get it.

***if you do NOT have an HDTV i would recommend you wait, that way you can really take advantage of the Bluray player and you'll be able to always read the text on the screen.

but yeah the PS3 has many PROS

PROS:

great graphics (better than the 360 by a tiny bit)

HDD is plenty big (which allows faster loading times)

Bluray movies look awesome

wireless built in

you can stream videos and movies to a psp

great games like Heavenly Sword, Resistance, Warhawk (so i hear)

hardware is VERY reliable and high quality

discs are just sucked in, no stupid disc tray to mess with

controllers have a rechargeable battery Built in (i am assuming the same with the Dualshock3)

CONS:

pretty damn big in size

some have loud fans

expensive (but really it includes things that you have to pay extra with other consoles)

almost all games require a minimal install (which can take a few minutes at times) (however SEE Pro 2 above)

do not come with rumble controllers (yet), but the six axis controller is very nice and sturdy

I highly recommend buying a PS3. I like it the best out of all three systems. It's reliable, has great graphics, with a built-in Blu-Ray and wifi, and it's alot quieter than the 360. Also the PSN is free to play online, unlike xbox live.
