The PS3 is now 400 dollars, i am waiting for a price drop. I want o know if it is worth it to buy the Ps3 if you have a tight budget. are games like Metal Gear Solid 4, and resistance worth the the amount of money you are paying for the PS3

well if you already have a wii/xbox/gaming pc, then no titles are worth a ps3, even though the ps3 is great value, if you are doing to just play those games it is not worth it, and its pretty much garunteed that a price drop is coming just wait it out, 4 months maximum.

I agree with adizorz. In the next 3-4 months before the greatly hyped games come out there will be a price drop I think. Maybe some hardware packs with games such as a PS3 with Uncharted 2 bundle or something alike. Be patient my friend. There is no point in paying more, when there willbean inevitable price drop.

how tight of a budget are we talking? It is worth the money. Even if you have some of the other systems. Also to the guy that bashed the person for being ingnorant of the original posters financial situation. If the original poster's money is tight why would he have a gamingPC,Wii and 360? If you want a PS3, get it. It stands on it's own.

i meant that if he had one of those systems, not all 3.

Also, by checking his posting history it is clear that he owns an xbox360.

as I said in another topic

PS3 is also a blu-ray, saves you atleast 200 bucks

and Playstation Network is free, unlike XboxLive, for which you have to pay a monthly or a yearly fee, depends on your plan. So in the end Playstation is actually cheaper then Xbox360. Recently Microsoft told us the Xbox360 has a ten year life, that means paying atleast 300 dollars for the next 5 years on XboxLive

Yes it is worth it, but if your budget is really tight, then save your money and buy one when the price drops. I would imagine the price will drop sometime this year. They need to move hardware if they're going to sell all of that high quality software that's being produced.

I have a very very tight budget and was able to get one of the first 60 gig systems. It was well worth every penny at the time and has gotten better over time with added features other than just gamming.

for me getting the PS3 isn't actually worthy .. specially that X360 has almost the same games (not to mention the exclusive games on both consoles) .. for me getting a PS3 now isn't worth yet .. i guess i'll take one on the Q1 of 2010 since my next fantastic games are going to be released on that year .. FFXIII, FFXIV ... also, i would love to have the networking system for free at that time too :P i will play FFXIV online very happy :P the good thing about X360 is copy playable console... and that would never happen in the PS3 I've X360 and i love playing the RPG games on it atm :)

You know Target has the PS3 special bundle with Motorstorm and Resisitance 1 in it for the same price as a system only one. That would at least save you $20-$30 bucks so that you wouldn't have to buy R1.

Though the PS3 is indeed an excellent system, and if you had the money to burn I would definitely say get one, it would probably be wise to wait until the holiday season if your on a tight budget. I definitely anticipate a price drop around that time.

For me it is worth every penny but if you are short on money it would be better to wait for a price cut or sell your xbox ;)

If your interested get one, everyone's money is tight, and yet people still have one. While your money maybe tight, if you truly had no money then you wouldn't be posting. If the system looks good to you then get it. System wars have been out of control this generation.

If you're tight don't get it so far into the gen. You'll want to many games and notice one day, dang i have a lot of games, has you look over your collection of 50 games you got since you bought the PS3 a year ago
