Thinking about buying a ps3 tommorow, but is there any point?`

I already have a xbox which i love, but also love the idea of a blu ray player and playing ps3 exclusives such as mgs 4 and all that, ive have enough money for one finally thanks to my birthday, i have asked mums approval and nope didnt go down well, but i mean its like 250 pounds again is it that good ?

Yeah, it's that good.

No, don't buy a ps3 if you have an xbox the libraries are 99.9% the same.Fightingfan

No, don't buy a ps3 if you have an xbox the libraries are 99.9% the same. I can't juggle my consoles that well, so I can't recommend someone do what I did and purchase more then 1.Fightingfan

PS3 has God of War, Little Big Planet, Uncharted, Infamous and MLB: the Show. Those alone make it worth buying.

If you don't mind getting YLOD, sure go ahead.jack00

Yes, but when you own more then one console you don't play your other. Making the other console worthless. I recommend just buying a cheap blue-ray player for 100 bucks. Unless you really want to play MGS4, god of war, LBP etc... Also those games you listed IMO suck I guess you think there fun. Excluding Uncharted.

LOL I don't even know 1 person who has got the YLOD... Ever.Thrasher17x

You shouldn't assume that just because you can't afford it that he won't be able to.

Personally, I find the Xbox 360 upcoming game catalog pretty poor. PS3 has been doing great the past 2 years or so, and are going to keep pumping great exclusives. Where as I think Xbox 360 might be making the push to casual in order to try and capture some of the Wiis audience.

PS3 is where its at for me right now if I had to choose on console over another ( I have all 3 consoles (launch Xbox 360, 360 Elite, PS3 Slim and Launch Wii) + gaming PC btw)

[QUOTE="Fightingfan"][QUOTE="hxczuner"] You can't play Killzone, LBP, MGS4, Heavy Rain, Valkyria Chronicles, God of War, Gran Turismo, The Show, Demon's Souls, inFamous, Modnation Racers, Ratchet and Clack, Uncharted, Resistance, Warhawk, White Knight Chronicles, plus all of the amazing PSN content, and Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidge Racer! on 360....

No, I assume less and if I can't afford my games and my new gaming Rig I'm building I doubt someone else can.

Edit- Excluding kazion-aires.

[QUOTE="Fightingfan"] Ridge racer you can. And he won't be able to afford all those games on the ps3 if he owns more then 1 console I can barely afford my 35+ on Wii and 40+ on Ps3.Fightingfan

Seriously dude, making assumptions just makes you an ass.

Just sell your Xbox for $150-$200, and get a PS3. You can save the rest of your money for some new parts for your PC to be able to play all the games you could play on an Xbox, excluding Halo 3, Halo:ODST, Fable2, Halo:reach, and Alan Wake.

If you can afford it sure. I own both a 360 and PS3 and I enjoy them both. I use my PS3 mainly for fighting games and exclusives and the 360 is used for multi-plats and exclusives.

Sell your xbox and get the PS3 as it has better exclusive titles, every other game thats Xbox only is probably on PC anyway so you can play them on the computer.

Thats the best combination really, PS3 for its exclusives, PC for everything else

I really don't get threads like this, I mean if you're already thinking about it then you clearly have an interest in the product, so why do you need the opinion of others to help you make your mind up? You're asking in the PS3 section so did you really expect anyone to say anything other than "yes, it's good!". If you want it then get it, otherwise don't.MushroomWig

never mind i forgot brits called their money their POUNDS opps

Probably not, if you already have a 360 and games for that, getting a new system, new games, etc for it and converting over to it is just not worth it, I'd just stick to your 360 or use PS3 strictly for exclusives.

Call me fanboy i think the ps3 is much better than 360 don't me wrong the 360 is still a great system

what i thought you were daniel craig :P

I'm having a rough time spending the chunk of change with a 2nd controller and the games that I want for this, along with the console.

This is for more personal reasons than others, most of which don't apply to other people, like specialized financial priorities.

From someone who doesn't own a PS3, I may be able to shed a different light on the subject, contrary to a purchase influencing consensus that you may gather here.

This system kicks ass. It's a great console with some truly unbelievable titles coming up (namely the new Castlevania and Gran Turismo 5) although I don't know if Castlevania is multi-plat. It may be. Just like the reasons given above, it seems like a premium gaming console, if not the best one the market has to offer right now. Of course that is subjective to the user, but you may consider your other options.

If you don't purchase another game system, how far could the money go to something else that interests you?

If I were in your shoes, I would sell the 360 regardless of owning a PS3, from personal game library and quality experiences.I know three people who have had issues with theirs, although I don't know how well each were cared for, they all experienced some kind of system killing catastrophy. This has certainly kept me from purchasing one, along with my disliking of it's library. I will disclaim again that this is just from my personal experience. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I'm sure others have had great success and luck withtheir ownershipof the Xbox360system.

You may want to look into the consumer reports on cnet.com and a few other sites as you are here, to gather experiences, both good and bad. I wish I had done the same before purchasing my television that has the worst consumer support I have ever experienced.

Ifyou're keen on owning a gaming system, I would suggest looking into the newer releases and prior releases, both on your 360 and the PS3 to see which ones you can live without and which ones hold more ballast for purchasing.

If you do buy a new system of any kind, get a retailer's extended warranty. Most factory warranties suck and have even worse service, when you do happen to take advantage of a factory warranty.

Ultimately in your position, I would ask myself how far the money could go elsewhere, if I had no intention of letting the 360 go.

If you want a PS3 get it.

The libraries are not the same

Even if all you play are the exclusive titles, it is still worth it

Resistance

Ratchet and Clank

Uncharted

Infamous

Motorstorm

Yakuza

Demon's souls

3D Dot Game Heroes

Valkyria Chronicles

Folklore

Warhawk

Shatter

Killzone

Socom

God of War

Heavy Rain

Little big Planet

Those that tell you multiplats run better on the other system would have had a point 3 years ago but not that much anymore. Bayonetta is an exception.

Devil May Cry 4

Dynasty Warriors 6 empires

Grand Theft Auto 4

Burnout Paradise

Unreal Tournament 3

These are games that ran better on PS3

As far as features in games,

Eternal Sonata, Bioshock 1, Ninja Gaiden 2, Section 8, and others have bonus content that the original version did not have, although it came out later on the system

you have upcoming games like Last Guardian, Twisted Metal, another Ratchet, Resistance, another infamous, another Motorstorm, Socom 4, another Killzone 2011 is bright as can be for the system.

I am not trying to put down the other console, I am just trying to give a more accurate presentation of the system than most people are doing. Who knows you might not like any of those games I listed. On the other hand you might like them all. Do some research and see if it is the system for you.
