Hey all

Im going to be getting a ps3 within the next month, but is it worth it, i have heard a lot of speculation that this will be the PS3's last year, is this true ? I hope it is just speculation because i really want a PS3 to play Killzone 2 and watch Blu Rays, any replys would be great

Thanks alot

First off welcome to the darkside however I haven't heard anything about this being the PS3's last year.

Oh yeah one massive tip if you have a HD TV then get a HDMI cable as well the games and blu rays will look incredable :)

Yeah I think whoever told you that this is the PS3 last year, didnt know what they were talking about... Anyways I was in the same boat as you and I am glad I made the purchase... My wife got it for me for Xmas and I love it... I actually have been playing it way more than my 360... Anyways hope you make the purchase and hope you enjoy it as well...

PS like stated above get the HDMI cables....

PPS Get them from Ebay a lot cheaper than the stores....

Don't worry. It probably won't explode, so you will still be able to play Killzone and watch Blu Rays in the following years.

PS3 is not getting discontinued right when Sony is getting closer to making a profit on each PS3 sold. It seems like something fanboys would say...nevertheless I think that you should pick one up. Hope you enjoy it and I would recommend picking up HDMI cables from Monoprice.com for $10.

MGS4 is awesome also the multiplayer is really good... Uncharted is really good as well for a single player game. Most of my time has been spent playing The Eye of Judgment, which is a card battle game... My other games that I love are GT5 Prolouge, Socom, Motorstorm, and Resistance 1.

Yea you should really buy a ps3. MGS4 is a stupid game. You should get Resitance 1 and 2, COD W@W, and GTA4.

Yeah man if you can get a PS3, do so. This would definitely be the year to jump on the bandwagon with the games coming out. Everyones already stated their game opinion so let me add Bioshock to the list. And the dark horse Soul Calibur 4....if you like fighting games.

lol...The PS3's last year you say..?? Just because the PS3 is slightly behind in console sales doesn't mean that it is going under. People seem to forget that the "OTHER" system(in which I own also) had a years head start. I know that statement has been worn-out but it has made a differents.

MGS4 is a definate must! Best game I've ever played, but may not hold nearly as much value for you if you haven't played the rest of the series. I'd atleast suggest MGS1 before you play 4 so you can really appreciate all it did for us MetalGear fans. Anyway, even if you're not a fan it's an incredible game with SO much to offer, and has the best online multiplayer out there (my opinion). MGS4 was game of the year for a reason! Anyway, beyond that Resistance 1 and 2 are important if you like games like Killzone2, Halo, etc. Drake's fortune is cool. Little Big Planet is endless fun! It's cool to get a couple of your more humorous friends to come over and play it with you. It's fun to laugh at eachother's fails. Plus users have uploaded over 300,000 levels for you to play. They say it'd take 2 years SOLID to play them all! What will you do??? Also if you're one of the millions anticipating the new FFXIII coming out in another year or so it is guaranteed to be better for PS3 as it's being origionally made for the system and not ported like EVERYTHING else. Get your PS3. Have fun. Happy Gaming!!!

No, this is not the PS3s last year. Sony isnt doing as bad as people think. Yes it is worth the buy, and PS3 will be out for years to come.

It's funny how Sony, the company who manufacture the PS3, promise consumers that it will have a 10 year life span. And then some random guy tells you their going to discontinue the product within the next year and you start to worry, ridiculous to be honest.

The ps3 is going to last longer than 360, that in itself is worth the buy.
