well I'm just asking if it's worth the $599 that I'm going to give for PS3? Should I spend all that just for a consoele or does it have any advantages ove the other systems?

Well it has exclusives that 360 won't have... though they seem to be losing a lot of these bit by bit. At least we know you won't be able to play God of War 3 anywhere else!

Well, its technically supreior to the other 2 consoles ( the Cell, Blu ray etc)

In terms of games, it probably isn't worth it at the moment. However, by the end of the year you'd be crazy not to get one( by then,there will be Home, MGS4, R&C, Heavenly Sword, Warhawk, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Lair)

And probably the rumored update(atleast some of the features listed) will arrive, maybe even better.

You traded Resistance and Motostorm for Fear?...that seems like a waste. Btw, offtopic: does Resistance have voice chat options?

Only options for voice chat is to select your device and what level input/output to function at.

I think the PS3 is very worth it, especially if you have an HDTV. You get the blu-ray plus games. A friend of mine left his 360 at my house for over a month. I played it maybe 3-4 times for gears of war. I downloaded a ton of demos and tried them all out to quickly realize that most of the ones that "looked good," sucked horribly. The ones that were decent were multi-plat w/ the ps3.

With all the ps3's multimedia capabilities so easily accessible, I can't encourage enough how useful a system it is. Pictures, music, browser, movies (BR), videos converted for ps3, so much greatness. There aren't alot of games out right now but soon it should change. IMO, I'm loving it because I'm a huge MK2 fan (which keeps me entertained) and having a good group to play Resistance with, also keeps the fun factor alive.

I got a 360 and PS3. I play more of the Ps3 because alot of things are better on there then the 360. Like Forza 2 for the 360, I played and demo and I have to say is, the car feel great, but the car and the backround look like Sh*t, But I play GTHD and Formula 1 for the Ps3 and I got to say, is those 2 games kick the hell out of Forza 2 any day.

just cause you own both systems doesn't mean you aren't trolling, your still talking about the 360 in the PS3 section of the site, and besides, XBL isn't worth paying for, it does exactly the same as PSN, it just looks different and costs a bit more

Since you've asked this question more than 10 times, I would say no. You shouldn't get one. I don't think you can handle it.

599$ really isn't much for anyone who works full time. I say it's worth it because it's great. Some great games are coming this summer and next fall, so you better be ready. If you buy it for the holidays, you'll be overflowed and won't have time to enjoy them all, lol.
