Convice me on this please

I personally think you need to want more than 2 games to warrant a $400-$500 system.ItsEvolution

The OP also stated they want a Blue Ray player.

and FF god of war and ps2 games he missed on.

If you want a blue ray player, then yeah definitly get a ps3 for that. Not only can you watch the blue ray movies on it, but then you also get a gaming console with it.

Besides, if you are a mgs fan then you should absolutly get one. Metal Gear Solid 4 will blow your mind in every gaming aspect, then maybe some after that, ( that is for mgs fans, i cant say that it will do as much for people who don't enjoy that kind of gameplay). Either way, if you get it for blue ray player, then hey you get a gaming console with it. Or if you get it for gaming, then hey you get a blue ray player with it. Just look at it like that and making the choice seems simple, you get 2 for little more then the price of one.

^good call^

So how much space do PS2 games take up? I mean, is it absolutely necessary to get the 80gb???

If you are a true Metal Gear Solid fan, you will buy a Playstation 3 without question. :DDealRogers

So I am a pretty hardcore gamer. I play my 360 every night usually. Unfortunatly for me, the Metal Gear Solid franchise is my favorite game franchise. So, needless to say, I'm burning to play MGS4. So I ask you, fellow Gamespotters, to convice me to run out and buy a PS3. I already want one for the Blu Ray player, GT5 and obviously MGS4. I just don't know if thats enough to get me to run out and get one tomorrow. Please, i need your suggestions and need to be convinced!!! codablack

MGS4 is the best and hightest rated game on the PS3

Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Socom:Confrontation will also be on the PS3 so buy a PS3

Use Ebay to get good deals

*sigh* I thought these crappy "convince me" threads stopped. Whatever happened to using your own brain (or lack there of)? Why do you expect people to kiss your arse on a message board?

Here's a better question. Convince me not to mod you.

I wasn't aware that the 40gb doesn't play PS2 games. Good to know.

It's called RESEARCHING IT YOURSELF. Do you even understand the term "convince me"? Before you think you're bright again, drink a tall glass of shut up juice and sit down.

WTF dude, I'm looking to buy a system that you obviously own and I'm looking for other peoples opinions about it before i run out and drop $499 on it. You don't have to be an ass about it.

Asking others is a form of researching. If you don't like these kind of threads then don't click on them.

yea...this is a PS3 everything board the last time I checked...and your able to talk about stuff like this......

Is MGS4 worth getting a PS3?

TC...MGS4's opening theme song is worth buying a PS3, or a copy of the OST...but where's the fun in that...?

LoL ... thanks for the info guys ... sorry to see that there are still some trolling a$$holes around, though.

Think I'll pick up the 40gb model and then just use my PS2 to play older games, unless I can find that 80gb/MGS4 bundle but everybody is sold out of it right now ...

There are enough games out on ps3 to be worth a purchase.

The major ones are

Resistance

MGS 4

Ratchet and Clank

Uncharted Drakes Fortune

Ones that are pretty good, but not super awsome are

Warhawk

Folklore

Heavenly Sword

GT 5 Prologue

Hot Shots Golf

cool games ranging from pretty good to awsome are coming out in 08-09 are

Disgaea 3

Socom

Little Big Planet

Motorstom 2

Valkyria Chronicles

Resistance 2

Wipeout

Tekken 6

White Knight Chronicles

Killzone 2

Infamous

God of War 3

Twisted Metal

War Devil Enigma (still a mysterious game though, no one knows)

You should get one now or wait until MGS 4 dies down and then buy one when no one isn't looking.

July seems pretty dry for PS3, no one will want one then.

I am in the same boat you are in, only with deciding on 360. I want one so I can play RPG's like Eternal Sonata Tales, and Infinite Undiscovery, but is that enough or will I not like them much due to my perception on things. You have already said you Like MGS 4, and a couple others out now and games you like coming out next year plus blu ray, so that is like 4 games plus a video format. It sounds to me you would appreciate a ps3 enough to lay down some green. If you know you will eventually get one, then just do it now. Even if you don't use it every night, you will eventually and when other big games come out, you don't have to worry about getting one because you have had one already. I know I spent too much for mine close to launch but I got the 60 with the full BC hardware piece and have everything setup ready to play the cool games, while others are just getting into the groove.

In my opinion it is best to buy a system when nothing is out that way you are more guaranteed to find the system and don't have to worry about it being sold out. Who knows maybe around August I will get the 360. Anyway hopefully you decide to join us, we will have fun together.

Ps2 games take up no room, unless your meaning saving your games. Game cache and installations are for Ps3, and the only one that requires installation is for online games(to the best of my knowledge). If you want to decide or wether or not to get a Ps3, think of it like this, and I'm being rather blunt and unbias(although, Ps3 4 ever), Which do you see yourself having more fun on? What features are more important to you? What games are fun? How much do you think it's worth in the end? Let those be the reasons you decide to send 500 bucks. I can say this, this was the best 600 bucks I ever spent in my life and their isn't a moment I don't regret it for anything else.

" I am a gamer, game like no one else, because I am no one else. So when you ask me what system is better and which do I prefer, I say I like the one that has the games I want to play. I like the one that gives me the features I need. So it's not Up or down, Right or Wrong, Playstation or Xbox, It's what I like to play. Don't lable me a terrorist...Only a gamer"

On the ps3 they have emulated things, so what you have to do is create a virtual memory card. It is 8 MB just like a normal ps2 card. You then push the triangle button on the memory card icon and set it to a virtual slot. (note: the slots on the 80GB are for flash readers only. If you wish to transfer saved data from an old memory card you must buy a memory card adaptor) You also push triangle if you wish to transfer photos or music with a usb memory stick otherwise the ps3 will say there are not any files on the device. Like on the ps2 how you had to push triangle to set the disc speed to fast and textures to smooth everytime you turned it on. Too bad PS2 games don't load faster on PS3 though.

blu-ray player cost more than a ps3,why waste ur money on on thing while u can get blu-ray and a console in one deal

I'm like you. I play my 360 just about every day. I actually enjoy the 360 more as a console over the PS3 and like you I am a MGS fan as well as a FF and GoW fan. While the PS3 itself in my opinion is rubbish compared to 360 I say if you have the means GET A PS3! Don't get it for the console itself get it for MGS4 because really it is awesome! Not to mention GoW 3 will be coming AND you want a Blu-ray player. You seem to have PLENTY of reasons to get one.
