Is the PS3 worth getting if I already have an Xbox 360???

I managed to save up money for a PS3 but now I'm really in doubt if I should even buy a PS3 in the first place considering that I already have an Xbox 360, now I don't play online, I just don't and I most likely never will so the free subscription really isn't a real selling point for me, so there's the exclusives

Are the offline contents of the exclusives on the PS3 enough to make the console worth buying??? And again just reminding I will probably NEVER play online primarily due to my terrible internet connection and other minor reasons so don't bother saying something like "Why don't you play online, it's great" and doesn't really bother answering the main question . . .

Single player is where gaming is really at, and most, if not all, the PS3 exclusives focus on single player campaign modes. The PS3 is certainly worth getting, and won't be a regretable purchase.

If you like games then it is worth it.

Honestly? I see no point in owning a 360 and a PS3, the games run the same way.

You'll get many more exclusives on PS3 though, no online fees, and some quality SP experiences. 360 has some excellent media options and the console is essentially more of a 'media hub' in my eyes, and a very good one at that. Though I can't really afford all of those services on top of the live fee, nor would I want to pay that, so PS3 is the way to go in that respect.

I'd wait until E3 though, perhaps there will be a price drop.

I own a PS3 and not a 360 and my experience with the system is that the multiplats that also appear on 360 are the best games on the system. So if you're like me, my advice would be it's not worth it to own both.

I say wait, next year is propably next gen and it would be foolish to buy now unless you don't care for next gen, or you have money for this gen and next and in general have a good economy.

The PS3 has a TON of great exclusives which alone are worth getting a PS3 for, many of which have great single player modes.

Here is a list of some great PS3 exclusives that are single player focused:

Uncharted

Uncharted 2

Uncharted 3

God of War 3

Metal Gear Solid 4

Rachet and Clank Tools of Destruction

Rachet and Clank A Crack in Time

Sly Cooper HD

Infamous

Infamous 2

Jak and Daxter HD

God of War HD

God of War Origions HD

Demon's Souls

Upcoming Exclusives that focus on Single Player:

The Last of Us

Rachet and Clank HD

Sly 4

God of War Ascension

That is a total 14 games (18 if you count the upcoming ones), all of which focus heavily on single player. 14 (or 18) games is more than enough games to warrent a PS3.

Also by the off chance that you do want to try online than the PS3 is a great option as it's FREE!

Xbox 360 has no geimez!

all 360 has is like Halo, CoD, Gears, Fable and Kinect garbage.

The reason I bought a PS3 is because my 360 got the rrod and the replacement Microsoft sent started having disc read errors very quickly. I find the PS3 to be a much more reliable piece of hardware. Game-wise, they're pretty close and most of my favorite games this gen have been multi-platform. I don't know if the more recently produced 360s are more reliable, so my advice would be to stick with the system you own since so many great games of this gen are multi-plat anyway. If your 360 bites the dust, replace it with a ps3.

God of War Acension will still have a strong SP focus in the game, the MP is just a bonus I'm sure. The Last of Us and Sly 4 are defiantely going to be SP focused, and Rachet and Clank HD is SP focused too.

Personally, not really. I had a ps3 and asked the same question for the xbox. Now that I have an xbox--thank god i didn't buy it (got it for christmas). I would take the inferior version with free internet online over having to buy another console that I can barely differentiate differences with a paid subscription. Unless you are dying to play the PS3 exclusives, free internet gaming (quit xbox live to save money), then no--don't buy one. Almost all the multiplatform games are better on the 360 so you'll end up buying it for it anyways. Exclusives is like beauty, it only comes from the player/eye of beholder. To be more easy on you--it's like someone asking you, would you buy a 360 just for its exclusives IF considering almost all multiplats are better on the ps3?

If you like games then it is worth it.

Then quit complaining about them and stop playing them. For someone who hates "games with pew pew guns" you sure have played lots of them. Did it really take a long length of time before it sank in that you didn't like them??

Depends on how much you like gaming. I have both a Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 plus a Wii. I have all three so I never have to miss an exclusive game. If there is a exclusive game you enjoy on PS3, Rachet and Clank series, God of War series, Uncharted series, Killzone series, Resistance series, Motorstorm series, Little big planet series, Twisted Metal These are some of the Exclusive games for Playstation 3. So if you really want to play them. Get Playstation 3. plus the PS3 160GB is only $250.00 plus you can get a extra controller and a game with purchase right now.

So a Console, 2 controllers and a game for 250.00 at walmart, best buy. You can choose a Controller/game pack when you buy a PS3. So yes it is worth it.

A PS3 is well worth the investment for a couple of reasons. PSN online gaming is free, PS3 and PSN exclusives are fun, and best of all, Sony will support the PS3 even if a PS4 concept is announced at E3.

What differentiates a PS3 is there's alot of neat content that's available nowhere else.

Almost none of that content is a system seller by itself.

But taken as a whole, the PS3 is a party in a box.

I actually rate the online experience of the PS3 higher than the Xbox.

Because of games like Starhawk, MAG, Motorstorm, etc, the online modes of these games are so much fun.

To me they are better online than Halo or CoD.

Not to mention things like PS Home, The Tester series (which I watch religiously), co-op games like Dead Nation, etc.

And of course Netflix.

I don't know if I can eloquate this properly but part of the joy of owning a PS3 is being a FAN of the community.

For example when you see a Kevin Butler commercial on TV you can relate.

You feel like you're part of the community even if you don't play online.

My friend calls Playstation a "cult" because the fanboys are so rabid, but people don't understand that the fan aspect is part of the entertainment.

To really get the most out of it, use the PS3 as your only device.

Let yourself get immersed in Playstation culture.

Let yourself become a fan.

Take a 1 year PS+ subscription and play the betas, play the free games, watch The Tester, chill out on PS Home, socialize, etc.

The more time you spend, you will be hooked on the "Playstation Lifestyle" and you will understand why it's called a lifestyle.

Aren't there products that you're a fan of?

Be it Android or Timberland boots, Macbooks, or a brand of cereal "I gotta have my count chocula!"

It can be fun to be a fan of something, beyond the actual enjoyment of the product.

Why do you think there's a huge market for Coca-Cola paraphanelia, from table lamps to refrigerators.

Some people enjoy being fans of things and collecting.

I like having Sony stuff.

Phone, TV, alarm clock, PS3, etc.

Beyond that I enjoy having Playstation stuff.

Even the game cases look cool.

Why you think people pay more for "black label" than "red label."

Or pay $200 to get their PS3 painted enamel white.

Because it's fun.

Just saying it's fun to be a Playstation fan, the exclusives are cool and there's alot of nice content, and the commercials are funny.

Fun is what it's all about at the end of the day.

Well, even if you don't play online, you can for free, so I'd say that's still a plus. Why won't you play online? A lot of good online games are really unique that you can't judge without trying them, and why not, when it's free (e.g., LittleBigPlanet - you can play "online" levels by yourself)? What kind of games do you play? Some good PS3 exclusives for single player are the Infamous games, the Ratchet and Clank games, God of War 3, Valkyria Chronicles, the Uncharted games, and I guess Gran Turismo 5 will last you a long time if you're into racing games and want to collect all the cars. If you don't mind playing last-gen games as collections, there are the Sly Cooper collection, Team Ico collection, and also a lot of great PSN titles like Journey and the PixelJunk games. Honestly, there are a lot more PS3 exclusives that have fun single player modes, but they aren't long enough to justify a $60 purchase. However, when combined with their multiplayer components, they make up a great package (e.g. Resistance 3, which has a pretty strong campaign for an FPS).

nope it not worth it

Having both a PS3 and a 360 I can't necessarily recommend buying a PS3 to complement your 360. The vast majority of games are multiplatform, and while the PS3 does have a few good exclusives (some would argue more, but I'll say a few), I don't know if it's worth getting since you already have the 360. Unless you're very interested in the exclusives, I'd pass on the PS3, at least until it comes down in price some more.

Clueless for stating a fact? No matter how bad someone's standards may be, Killzone 2 and 3 are good games, I feel sorry for people like you who can't see that.

@venom-rapter, just forget it bro, fact is i hate mp and u luv it.. neither of us are gonna change that so why keep arguing about it? i'm sick of this feud so if u wanna continue dissing thats fine, but don't expect me to respond to it anymore.. btw whats the deal with u an dexter? its a cool series but geez man, i wouldn't represent it on a videogame website, just sayin..

Some of you sound so jaded and cynical.

Slit your wrists much?

Learn to turn off your intelligence sometimes and go with the flow.

It will help you take pleasure in life.

tes it is...and the option for free online gameplay experience is great...free options are always great...and ps3 has a lot of great exclusives

Get rid of the 360 or sell it and buy a PS3!
