im thinkin of buyin a ps3 for mercenaries 2, the elder scrolls IV: oblivion, warhawk, virtua fighter 5, uncharted: drake's fortune, call of duty 4, and more games. and even tho the xbox 360 has better online, the ps3 online is still free, and i think HOME is cool. also, i dont have an hdtv, but eventually i will get one and need a blu-ray player, and the ps3 is a great deal for a blu-ray player instead of spending $1000 on a blu-ray player! 
but i bought the wii in january and ther are no good games i like for it other than zelda, and its so boring! so im gonna sell my ps2 and my wii and maybe get a ps3, but first i wanna kno if u guys think it was worth it to buy a ps3! cuz i thought it definetely was not worth gettin a wii.

Most people bought the ps3 for games, but their are some like myself who got it for the additional multimedia functions. Plus with the momentum starting to flow in sony's favor now..who wouldn't want a ps3. Don't get me wrong, I know sony still has an uphill battle, but things are looking alot better for them now.

Has anyone seen the new heavenly sword footage? Wow!!! I wasn't really planning on AAA's hitting till 3/08 but some these new video's are rallying me in a big way. I bought this console for Sony's titles alone.

its funny... because your just screwin yourself if u buy a PS3 for the games you just mentioned... all of those cept warhawk will come out for the 360 and gta IV is simultaneous release... the PS3 will have a bad framerare and not really worth it as opposed to what the 360 gives.... well this is my opinion... you waste what you waste

maybe you should learn before posting.

1. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Warhawk are PS3 exclusive
2. Oblivion is better on the PS3(this is a fact)
3. Virtual Fighter 5 is currently exclusive to the PS3
4. Mecenaries 2 was designed for the PS3, therefore, it will be either equal or better than the 360's version.

please run back to the 360 forum with your tail between your legs.

I personally believe that my PS3 was worth every red cent! If you are not sure that you are going to get a PS3, wait until after E3. If you are impressed by what Sony is offering then you know which console you should get. On the other hand, if Sony doesn't show something that you wantand MS does, go with them. Either way you fill your needs.

The ps3 hardware is fantastic. The games are getting better and the blu-ray player is top notch. If you can afford it get a ps3. You honestly wont regret it. Remember if you can afford it. If you have to live on canned beans for 3 months then dont get it. You'll probably end up resenting the system.

Mine was definently worth it, since it was a gift. I would have bought one eventually, but I don't know if I would have one right now, just due to the selection of games. I have an HDTV, so I may have bought it early for Blu-Ray alone. Luckily I got it when I did and for free, so I have been able to enjoy it earlier than I originally would have.

I absolutely love my PS3 because it is a fantastic piece of hardware with some really great games coming out in the future. I had originally planned to only buy a PS3, but I knew Gears of War would be a great game so I gave in and bought a 360 as well. If I had to buy one and only one, I'd get the PS3 simply for the fact that I have grown up on Sony Playstation consoles. Getting a Blu-Ray player is also a REALLY NICE bonus. I'll be sure to make more use of that feature when movies like 300 and Spiderman 3 are released on Blu-Ray. Right now, I think Blu-Ray movies are a bit overpriced. That, and the fact that Microsoft hardware is pretty crappy in general. Thankfully, mine has only broken down once and was repaired for free.

It looks like this generation is going to be pretty evenly split between the two consoles. Obvliously for third party multiplatform releases I'll choose the system with the better graphics, control scheme, framerate, online, etc. I'll wait until Home is released to issue my final judgement on Sony's online service. As far as I'm concerned, it works great. And it's free. If Half Life 2: Orange Box and Army of Two play well online for PS3, then I won't bother renewing my subscription to Xbox Live.

A lot boils down to controllers for me though...I have every intention of buying all the Fight Night games on the 360 because I think the controller works really well with the game. Same way I intend on buying GTA: IV for PS3. I could care less about Episodic Content that I'm going to have to pay for anyways...Maybe it's me, GTA feels just right with a Playstation controller.

You do know that this is the most biased poll ever, right? But, I do think that it was worth it. It will be worth more when killzone 2 and warhawk and heavenly sword just to name a few comes out.

These threads are so stupid. Everyday somebody will ask this stupid question. LOOK! IF YOU SECOND GUESS YOUR DECISION ON BUYING THE PS3 THEN YOU'RE NOT A TRUE GAMER. True gamers go in buying what they want to buy not because of someone's decision, but because they want to buy it. They go in knowing the consequences and still buy it. Why? ......Because they're real gamers. No matter if the system has crashes or few games...they don't care...they still buy. So, pull my answer from that.

It'll be worth it eventually but right now games just are either ports or crap, There's a coupla exceptions but nothing that has tickled my fancy. Although like some other guys said, There's plenty of great stuff coming that will make it worth it.

u bet. PS III is the future gaming platform, you have to get it. Even though the best games (GTA IV, Assassin Creed, Killzone II) still need to come out and HDTV is still too expensive, it's the best buy in the market. WII is for small kids and PS III will quickly surpass XBOX 360's quality of games. You have to remenber that the best PS II games came years after it's release.

As of today, no. But with every new release I am starting to warm up to it more and more. So by the end of 2008, I will tell everyone it was worth it.

Well Maybe its because i bought my ps3 three days ago and initial excitment is at a high... or maybe its because i am one of those people who are actually having a FRICKEN BRILLIANT experience! Fanboyism aside, i am thoroughly enjoying my purchase and my ps3 is taking center stage in my family room, complete with plasma tv and surround sound and boy oh boy, have i missed out or what! magnificant... i guess you can guess what i choose on your poll. HELL YES

Are there any one else out there who feel the same way as me? or am i alone in this new generation of extreme coolness?... :(

With a HD TV and a nice chair position directly infront of it - makes for a great experience. So far Motorstorm, Oblivion, RFOM and maybe even R6V all make the purchase worth it! (of course this is based on play the majority of them online) .. Oblivion alone is worth buying a PS3 .. (if your like me and prefer a better system and don`t have any interest in the 360)

Unfortunately for the PS3, the launch games were crappy and they still don't have much to offer besides the best blu-ray on the market for the cheapest price. However, because of the superior technology that the processor has and the ability of blu-ray discs to hold incredible amounts of data, game developers will be able to make revolutionary games (as expected they won't be out for 1-2 years after launch). Just as the WII is revolutionary with its control style, the PS3 will revolutionize the way games are played with content and incredible visuals. If you look at the upcoming games for the PS3 there is a potential of 5-10 blockbuster games being released between fall '07 and summer '08. On top of these games, PS3 gives you streaming media content and dozens of other features that can't be discussed in a short post. PS3 is worth every penny (and a lot more) if you know anything about digital hardware. The technology featured in the WII and XBox360 will be outdated in about a year (now for the WII), but the PS3 is so advanced that its power has yet to be tapped into. When the PS3 is still reigning supreme over Microsoft and Ninentdo's NEXT gen (after WII and 360) Sony will be laughing in the faces of everyone who questioned their strategy.

I have 2 things to say to anyone who thinks this system is overpriced. Ignoring 90% of the PS3 functionality:

1) Cheapest Blu-Ray (soon victor over HD-DVD) player on the market

2)iPhone = $500 or $600 and does virtually nothing compared to the PS3...you do the math

Do I think it was worth it? Of course I do.

The biggest complaint seems to beaboutthe lack of good games but I've played my PS3 a ton.

Blast Factor. Lemmings. Flow. GTHD Concept. Go! Suduko. Go! Puzzle. Mortal Kombat II, Rampage World Tour. Calling All Cars. Super Stardust HD. Resistance: Fall of Man. Oblivion. TH Project 8. Blazing Angels. Motorstorm. Virtua Fighter 5. Call of Duty 3. Spider-man 3. No wait Spider-man 3 sucked, nevermind. and now Ninja Gaiden Sigma!

Me thinks there are plenty of good games.

PS3 is worth it, the Blue-ray player alone is worth it....i mean think about it if you are interested in multimedia like i am, then the PS3 is $600 for everything (no additional upgrade needed and there's no additional fee's for anything) while the 360 is $400 but when you buy the upgrades its gonna cost you way more than $600 (+$100 for wifi, +$100 for HD DVD movieplayer, +$50 a year for online "no internet browser", the list goes on and on)
