I am currently a pround 360 owner and am not looking to replace my 360 but I am looking to be someone who can say they own both a 360 and a PS3. I am on the edge of buying a PS3 to add to my collections but I am wondering is it worth the 300 dollars and also I seen this clip

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NERfJu5k_M&feature=related

Has home improved at all since this clip since it was posted in 2008? Please tell me a little about the PS3, I am just seeing if the system is for me. I appreciate it everyone. Thank you

Well I recently took the plunge and bought a 160GB phatty. I'm really happy with it at the moment and eagerly looking forward to God of War 3 and Uncharted 2. I wish there would be more exclusive titles for it but I'm pretty confident they will come eventually. After trying out the KZ2 and Uncharted demos both titles became insta-buys for me. The Blu-ray playback is a nice addition too :)

PS: MGS4 is epic as ****.

Edit: Haven't tried Home yet, not really interested.

HOME will soon get "THE" update that allows you to start any game from Home, thus making it a real gamer community ; I don't even know which game could be started from Home now, but now you'll be able to jump in any Saints Row 2, Killzone 2, Tiger Woods ...

Now Home is more or less a second life clone, where people walk from one place to another (OK I haven't been there since Resident evil, Buzz and other things have come), maybe play a little game, and try to chat (don't even try if you don't have a keyboard). If you like customizing, it can still be an occupation (character or flat). One good point is the "clubs", you can find almost anything in it, but everytime I went to the club noone was there.

Last time I was in Home, there was some chick in shiny spandex pants dancing two feet off the ground.

Uh...just thought I'd mention that :oops:

I use to own both consles (360,PS3) but i sold my 360 4 months after the purchase of my ps3 because i do not respect microsoft at all. I mean i personally think they are just to greedy... when i saw the prices on the games on demand thing i was furious with rage knowing that MS only cares about money. i got sick of paying for Xbox live when i started to buy more and more of my games for the ps3. you can even add me on xbox my gamertag was melpoe and i have 37k gamerscore so FOR ME PERSONALLY i perfer what the ps3 has to offer in game exclusives plus blu-ray movies.

So you want to know if you should buy a ps3 or not? Well look at your xbox and see how many exclusives it has that you love, Now look at exclusives you would want for the ps3. Now see which has more that appeals to you. PS3 has all the games i was going topurchase for the 360 plus alot of exclusives

(Demon's Souls,Heavy Rain,God Of War3 ect..) Im not a halo fan or gears fan, and mass effect was not that good imo.

So there you have it YOU are the only one that can tell if you should buy a ps3 or not do some research and im sure you will find reasons why you would love to be a PS3 owner.

And im not bashing the Xbox 360, the Xbox is a great gaming consle its just microsoft are bad parents.. ^_^

I also have both consoles. each have pros and cons that the other doesn't. Online community is better on 360 with the party system and mics that don't feedback. Also Netflix on 360 is effing great. PS3 however has better graphics imo because of the Blu Ray capabilities. I would say the new price drop for the slim is a helluva deal, especially with the exclusives coming out in the next year starting in about October. I'm sure you've heard about them by now. I personally prefer 360 for shooters, but Killzone is freaking awesome. I like RPG's better on PS3 and with a super hard core one like Demon's Souls coming to PS3 I can't wait. hopefully that opens it up for more RPG's on PS3. As far as Home goes, I really don't care for it. I'm guessing that Sony is going to try to force their equivalent of the 360's party system through home, but I really wish they would do it through the XMB (cross media bar, Sony's dashboard). They keep trying to force us to think that home is cool and exciting, but it just isn't. IDK, do what you want man. I have to say personally I'm glad that I have both systems. I have different groups of friends that I play online with for each, and I don't have to worry about my console not getting something that the other one is getting.

I've got a 360 and PS3. I love them both. I use my 360 a lot more than my PS3. I mainly only buy exclusives for my PS3. The PS3 has a better line-up of game releases for the next year. The 360 has a better online service and better controller. It's up to you which one to get. I think you should keep your 360 and save for a PS3. Have both instead of one then you've got the best of both worlds. Why choose when you can have it all?

1 million sold in 3 weeks, price drop or not that is impressive. I'll say I don't regret buying my PS3 and do regret buying an elite. MLB The Show is by far the best sports game out. MGS4 is just amazing and I've not played the previous ones. This is my first Sony console and will be sticking with Sony from now on. I think if you do decide to get one you'll be wondering ( Like I stilll do ) where people come up with all the negativity twords the PS3. I was hesitant before buying it and looking back I wish I had done it sooner ( although it was nice to pick up older titles for cheap, like now MGS4 $30 is a steal, Killzone 2 will be $30 in November and a number of other titles like Uncharted). My personal favorite feature is Region Free Games, I just love importing I guess LOL.

both of them are great consoles BUT ps3 has (or will have) more and better exclusives in my taste at least. the con is that i think that in most multiplatform games xbox360 has better graphics (check dead space or gta4 or soul calibour) where it should not , it is all the programmers fault. also ps3 has movement controls which may seem as a gimmick but it is implemented in a cool way in games (like uncharted or kz2). ps3 has prototype and inFamous which is a win imo.

one con is the lack of mass effect though which i am very sad.

now about you , were i you i d buy a ps3 if i could afford it just for exclusive games. uncharted 1&2 , inFamous, Kz2(though i did not like it), mgs4(though i did not like it either!!!!), resistance , god of war (instant epic action), and more which are coming..

I am not buying it just for home but I would like Home to be at least decent if I go spend the 300. Thanks you though, anyone else?
