Yes, come to the dark side and enjoy all its perks mwahahaha. But seriously bad news is always first there really isn't much of a game library right now but March should help that. Also the PS store isn't really all that great as of right now. Now, the good news Sony is working on making tons of exclusive titles, no one really complains that PS3 broke down, and it still has about a year left until anyone can make a complete judgment of how great it is.

it doesnt have quality issues like the other box seems to, nothing common anyway, anything electronic has its problems, but 4? jesus, thats a lot, i wouldnt buy from any company with that kind of fail rate. well, the online is free, its definitely working its way up to great. Sony has a good reputation of making great consoles with amazing games. i love mine, but ive owned all 3 playstations. my suggestion is to go somewhere like gamestop and give it a try, see what you think. the PS3 is really quiet too, mine has run flawlessly and i got in in december (it was one of the launch consoles i got off ebay for a great price) you get access to the PS2 library, most of the games on the other console are coming to ps3, and then some, if your into shooters, you might be disappointed compared to the other console, but Sony always has innovative games on their systems.

The PS3 isn't really rooted well enough to consider buying right now in my opinion. I'm going to wait until some more appealing games come out and the PS3 is more stable.

Positives: hardware seems more reliable thus far Negatives: you'll be reliving the 1st year of the Xbox360...gonna have to wait a while for some games/enhanced online environment/refinements to the overall system/etc... etc... It seems like a lot but unreliable hardware is definitely very frustrating. (It's why I picked the PS3 too)

motorstorm sold it for me when i first played the demo, which is funny, cause the original demo they had in gamestop sucked, but the one you download in the store seemed better for some reason, i guess they updated since then. now i cant wait for the game, supposedly they are coming with a new ratchet and clank and a jak, resistance is a great shooter with amazing weapons, and you will be surprised how well it plays the AI is crazy. but again, gotta buy what you like, if you want a great library right now, its hard to beat the other system, but Sony has never let us down, and the games are starting to come out of the woodwork. M$ has never made quality equipment or software in my opinion, (look at windows) but i played the previous box, and had some fun on it, but always went back to my PS2, so i doubt sony will let us down, europe launch is gonna be basically the time it all starts going and the flood gates open.

Granted, there are no great games out right now. And the online could use some work (though I don't hate it). But I think people really do underestimate the potential of the PS3. I mean, heck, when 360 was released, it had just about the same problems...lack of games, overpriced (IMO...haha). And look where it is now.

And to give you some perspective, I'm not some Sony fanboy. I see the current flaws, and I admit that right now it's not the best system. And who did I support last generation? Microsoft. But this time around, I've decided to throw my support to the (apparently) new underdog...the PS3. Because I just have this feeling... ;)

i think its worth it, cause i use mine plenty, and i have run it for 8 hours straight many a time without so much as a glitch, and the resistance online is flawless even with 40 people, i was impressed. honestly, if you bought it now, with resistance, and got some of the other games after the euro launch, i cant see a way you will be disappointed

it seems to bother some, but honestly, i think its pretty much just people picking apart the system cause they are mad about other stuff. i prefer the sixaxis, it has the motion, which has been used in some neat ways already, and i feel they will use the hell out of in a lot of games. rumble wasnt used well in many games except maybe MGS, so i dont miss it a bit, more of a trinket then a need. if you want to see how they use the sixaxis, check out the downloadable game blast factor, they used it in resistance for shaking off enemies, and flOw and super rub a dub both are supposed to use the tilt exclusively, no other controls. so its promising

My 4th 360 just broke thanks to crackdown and im not gonna lie....im fed up. So i see the ps3 has most of the same games minus the achievements (im a whore). So i think to myself maybe its time to toss the 360 and try out the ps3. Anyone have any positive or negatives on the ps3?genfuyung
WOW, maybe you're doing something wrong here. I've had my 360 since the launch day and I use it every day for at least 5 hours and have had absolutely no problems so far.

true, but if you look around, its hard to find people who havent had to replace their 360. my brothers buddy has one, and he says everyone on Live says they are at least on their 2nd console. M$ even extended the warranty out cause of so many problems, so its there, your just lucky. car recalls dont affect everyone, but they are done for a reason

That's a fair question. Personally, I don't miss it as much as I had thought I would. I just look at it this way -- my NES doesn't have rumble...nor do my SNES, Genesis, N64 (mostly), Dreamcast, etc. etc. It's just one of those things that's nice, but not necessary.

The lack of rumble disappointed me initially. But after a couple of minutes with it, you barely notice it's missing. Let's face it...we buy the games because of the immersive graphics. Not because they can cause rumbling in our hands. Besides, it might be kind of cool seeing what kind of ideas developers can come up with in terms of utilizing the Sixaxis controls.

might as well

even though its just a rumor now, ms is no doubt working on xbox360 v2 with hdmi and a bigger hd

to me, having bought a 360 already, that is a giant slap in the face.  Not just for me but for consumers in general.

I for one am not going to shell out more money on 360v2 which has features the 360 should have had in the first place

agreed, if sony did this, i woudlnt buy from them anymore. M$ should just stick with what they got, and do best with what they got, so they keep from pissing off their fan base, but thats just me. i dont know, i just think sony has always done things better for me, and ive never had any problems with them. they make quality. their only problem was they are always leaps and bounds ahead of everyone, including the developers, so they always have rocky starts. M$ sticks with the tride and true, Sony pushes innovation to the limits at the cost of a rocky start. just their styles i guess.

I'm on my second 360 now first one didn't work for crap and this one sometimes pulls some crap on me like the drive door won't open sometimes. Thank god for Best Buy's Product Replacement Plan. I bought my PS3 from the second shipment. This thing hasn't so much as hiccuped. It's no comparison as far as quality assurance. I also have a PS2 which was one of the first launch PS2s the thing is still working flawlessly and it's been through the ringer, even had coke spilled on it (I wouldn't recommend it though). As for MS releasing 360 v2.0 I can't wait, cause with said Best Buy Product Replacement Plan you can upgrade to any new version of a product by returning the old one and paying the difference.

I never cared for rumble simply because it was mis-used most of the time in games.

That being said, you can still get force feedback in 3rd party controllers for driving games (steering wheels with vibration - logitech) on the PS3.

You'll definitely like it. I don't know anyone that's had any hardware problems and I game on mine 6+ hours at a time. One of the reasons I liked it better when I bought it is b/c it just seems to run classier than the 360... it's quiet and sleek.

You're choosing a good time to purchase it too. Every month from March on, there are at least a few good games coming out for it every month. You'll still have to wait until around the summertime for some of the most anticipated titles (Lair, Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, etc.).... but there will still be enough games to keep you busy until then.

The only weak area Sony has right now is their online service... don't get me wrong, it still does the job just fine. But if you're used to Live it's just not as refined. But when you look at the game library you get with Sony's consoles, you really do get over not having Live... plus, they've already announced that they have some good updates in store for their online service. All in all, my PS3 is my favorite console so far.

I use my PS3 for Blu-Ray movies about 40% of the time. Do you have an HD TV? If you do, then you will no doubt appreciate the picture quality from Blu-Ray movies. Regular DVD's will seem like there is a thin coat of vaseline over the picture once you have watched a few Blu-Ray movies. If you have a stereo receiver and surround sound, even better. I would spring for the PS3 remote control ($25) if you do plan to watch a lot of movies. Since the PS3 uses Bluetooth, it won't work with an infra-red universal remote. Netflix rents Blu-Ray movies so it's very easy to take advantage of the technology. You don't have to go out and build a movie collection or replace your existing collection. Now if the PS3 upscaled DVD's, that would be killer.

Online is fine with the PS3. I mean honestly, the purpose of Online is to play online against other people. I think the PS3 achieves that. People just want MORE and that's why they are complaining. Who cares if we get achievement points (it's giving back to the community? Please). It's just a hokey extra included in Live. So the PS3 isn't Live. So what. I want to play online with friends and communicate with them. It allows me to easily.

Regular DVD's will seem like there is a thin coat of vaseline over the picture once you have watched a few Blu-Ray movies. If you have a stereo receiver and surround sound, even better. I would spring for the PS3 remote control ($25) if you do plan to watch a lot of movies. Since the PS3 uses Bluetooth, it won't work with an infra-red universal remote. Netflix rents Blu-Ray movies so it's very easy to take advantage of the technology. You don't have to go out and build a movie collection or replace your existing collection. Now if the PS3 upscaled DVD's, that would be killer.

i havent bought my hdtv yet and the blu ray picture is still awsome, this guy should buy one; good points.

4? Thats a lot. I know people who had problems with their ps2, but not up to the number 4 in just over a year. I'm scared to turn on my 360 now cause I might have to take it back. So far i haven't heard any problems with the PS3. Thank goodness.
