Should I get a PS3? (Reasons why I would included)

I have a Wii (which is boken atm) and a 360. I have a chance to get a 250gb Ps3 at a very cheap price from a friend. But seeing as how most games are on both consoles make me wonder if its the best idea. The PS3 exclusives might be the only things I get if I get the PS3. Games like Heavenly Sword, Infamous, Uncharted, Demon Souls, and alot of others have caught my eye over the years. Bottom line......

Would a PS3 be worth it just for the numerous exclusives?

Look at the reviews of the games you want, or ask your friend if its worth it...if I had to choose, I would probably fix the wii. Because 360 and PS3 are somewhat alike, but wii is diffrent, But, its not my choice. How much is he selling it for?

Umm if your getting such a great deal on it why wouldn't you pick one up??? Whats the reasoning on why he wants to get ride of it anyways???

Yes,it is worth it

Just get it... no need to tell the reasons... you'll realize it by yourself why we convinced you to do so.... trust us.

well if your a gamer then get it forget all that stupid fanboy ish you can then play ps3 exclusives why miss out on any great games

Honestly.I only chose my 360 over ps3 to begin with because it was cheaper, but when I purchased a new TV i got my ps3 for free.I always liked my xbox 360 more(don't shoot me yet), then I thought to myself, all these games I like are multi platform. Why did I like my 360 more? Well I don't know, I told myself I loved the exclusives(the only 2 exclusives I actually really enjoy are forza 3 and mass effect, which is also on pc). I own more exclusives on my ps3 than I do on my 360 and I've had for like 1/4 the amount of time.

This is coming from someone who is unbias on 360 or ps3, I love them both for various reasons. Here are my reasons.

PS3
-IMO better exclusives, and of a much higher quality. This is only my opinion. Look at MGS4, UC2, Killzone 2 ect. These are very high productions and barely anything on the 360 scratches these.
-Free online play
-Bluray player(if you already have one than this point is moot)
-hardly anyone has a mic, this can be annoying on team based games.

XBox 360
-A lot of cross platform games run better, but this also is the opposite for certain games.
-while you pay for gold membership, xbox live in general is a better service. It has many features that you will miss if you move to PSN. Just general stuff like getting to messages fast, seeing info on the trophy you just unlocked. It's just a lot easier and faster on xbox live.
-IMO better control, but this is completely preference so don't shoot me.
-xbox comes with a free headset so most people have a headset and can communicate(this can be a negative also).

Overall I find myself playing my ps3 more these days. I'm finding myself even buying my cross platform games on my ps3. If you enjoy playing games(obviously) and you have the money to get a ps3, I say go for it.

note: I didn't mention anything about the wii because I consider it a completely different platform that doesn't have the same purpose of a 360 or ps3.

First of all, there is no need of convincing. It's the PS3. A game console. You want to play games? You buy it, play it. But if you want the details, here goes... In no particular order:

1. Amazing game console.

2. It's a Blu-ray player.

3. Web browser.

4. Other features include animated/dynamic wallpaper, save your photos, videos, even music on there. It's like a mini computer.

5. Exclusives, exclusives, exclusives - THE GAMES. You miss out on the PS3, you're missing out on what I think is about 60-65% of this generation's greatest videogames.

6. That's a big time loss if you don't buy a PS3.

7. Free online.

You said Heavenly Sword. Hehehe. If you find that interesting still, then by ALL means mate, get one.ProjectTrinity

As someone who has all 3, I have to say it comes down to whether the PS3 exxlusives really interest you and whether you have a blu ray player already or not.

The only exclusive I have really gotten into on the PS3 is heavy rain (and maybe Little Big Planet a bit). As far as I can tell there's nothing really all that innovative, different, or exciting about most of the exclusives... a lot of them seem to just be more hack and slash action games with a different character. But, to be fair I haven't given a lot of them a chance because they don't appear to interest me. Right now everyone is s******g bricks over GOW 3... I never found the games to be all that interesting and probably won't get it (another hack and slash action game... woo). I was also never a huge Metal Gear fan... but lots of people love it and maybe you do too.

I have Uncharted 2, and it seems decent (haven't played it much), but again.. not all that unique or ahead of the curve. Heavy Rain on the other hand is spectacular, and you won't find anything like it on the 360. Same thing with Little Big Planet.

If you think the PS3 exclusives look like they'd appeal to you, then by all means get it. To me it's sort of a movie player with the added bonus of playing games sometimes that I can't play on the Xbox.

Finally, let me be clear and say the PS3 IS absolutely a great system. I'm glad I bought it... but I don't feel it's a must-have if you already have a 360 and a Blu Ray player (or don't have an HDTV).

YES...that's why I have a 360! My PS3 is my main media hub and gaming console "BUT" I have the 360 for certain exclusives.:)

i am buying a new slim PS3 shortly to get access to more co-op shooter games. my lady and i love to play games together, and we ahve played to death GoW and halo on 360, as well as resident evil 5 so looking forward to stuff like resistance 1 and 2.

PS3 is totally brilliant, especially when compared to the wii, if I was you I'd get it
