What played an important role in you console choice.

Concerning the PS3. I bought mine because I love FF games and am a big fan of MGS series. I bought the PS3 for the exclusives and it makes a great blu ray player. I dont care what 3rd party games are better on other systems. I just want to ask the PS3 owners here Why did you get your PS3 for, was it because of fanboism, exclusives, blu-ray, or another reason.

AGAIN1? OMGAH GS please give me points for moderations :|expanded

He mentions fanboyism, but most of his comment has to do with the PS3 if not solely so. Infact, I don't see him comparing systems. I myself don't see whats wrong with the post. :?

My original title had the word fanboism in it. asking if that or other reasons were behind the purchase of the PS3, he tought I was commenting on the fanboy comments before that and so I changed my title accordingly... so its not his fault

Ah, I see.

Well obviously it is Blu-Ray, then again the exclusives are way better on PS then on Xbox! I mean some exclusives on Xbox still can be played on PC and in this computer age big number of people have the PCs. But for PS exclusive stays exclusive.

Cant wait for GT5 MGS4 SH5 and RE5, ohh by the way Little Big Planet looks cool as if PS has something in common with wii. :)

1. PlayStation Brand- I have been a PlayStation user ever since the launch day of the original Sony PlayStation. The consoles have never broken down on me and have always had a fantastic library of games to choose from. I also really like the controller and in general, really like SONY products.

2. Exclusives- I am a HUGE fan of the following franchises: Metal Gear Solid, God of War, Final Fantasy, Ratchet and Clank, and Tekken. All of them happen to be PlayStation exclusives.

3. Blu-Ray- I didn't buy the system to use as a Blu-Ray player, but it certainly weighed in my decision because I had recently bought an HDTV prior to buying a PS3. I love how Blockbuster rents Blu-Ray movies. I will definitely begin to buy more Blu-Ray movies when the average price drops down to about $20 per movie. That's when I think the format will really begin to take the mantle from DVD.

4. Backward Compatibility- IF I had kept all of my PS One games from back in the day, I would have a pretty big collection right now. Even then, I have about 35 PlayStation 1,2, and 3 games. I like being able to play all of them on ONE console. I like being able to upconvert older games to higher resolutions so that they look right on my HDTV. I would NEVER consider buying a 40 GB PS3...

5. Built-in Wi-Fi and Free Online- I had an Xbox 360 and used Xbox Live for well over a year. Am I impressed with the service? Absolutely! Would I pay for it? Sure...that is until I played Warhawk for the first time. 32 player online with NO LAG and massive battles? I'm sold. The thought of having to pay another $99 for a wireless hub was SUCH A TURN OFF for me. Although PSN is not quite up to par with Xbox Live, I think it does its job well enough to keep me happy. The online features continue to be refined and expanded; I am confident that HOME will provide for an excellent online experience.

6. Diversity in Library- The PlayStation library has the most diverse set of games. What do I mean? You will never see games like Shadow of the Collosus, ICO, and Okami on rival consoles. Franchises like Guitar Hero and Grand Theft Auto started off on the PlayStation. Xbox has mostly FPS. Only recently are they beginning to add some quality action/adventure and RPG games to their library.

7. Easy and Cheap Expandability- Microsoft wants to charge $179 for a 120 GB HDD...Is that supposed to be a joke? For $179 I should get at LEAST a 160 GB HDD AND an external casing for the 60 GB HDD that came with my PS3. I can use the Bluetooth headset from my phone with my PS3 instead of having to buy a special wireless headset just for my gaming console. I don't need to use up 35% of my HDD for backwards compatibility that allows me to play 20% of the previous generation's games...

8. Technology- Cell Processor, RSX, Blu-Ray, HDMI 1.3, Bluetooth, DVD Upconversion, Printer Support, Memory Card Slots, the ability to run Linux on the machine? Remote Start and Remote Play...The technology built into this machine is simply amazing.

9. Design- It looks very SEXY...Hold the machine in your hands. It "feels like it's worth $600." The quality of the build is unquestionable. One cannot deny the fact that the machine looks beautiful.

10. Availability- I wasn't planning on pre-ordering a PS3 or waiting in line for one last November. I figured they would be sold out everywhere for months. On a whim I decided to call a Gamestop that isn't normally very busy that is about 10 minutes from my home, to check on the availability of a PS3. They told me they had one left...I couldn't resist...Can you blame me?

Im getting mine today or one week -two weeks and its

EXCLSIVES

BLU-RAY(I have hd-dvd)

Kingdomhearts 3 safety

and ps2 games

Nobody influenced my decision to buy a ps3, i am my own man with a mind of my own that allows me to make my own decisions on things.

On a side note though, its drivin me mad that since i did get one my daughter is always on it and my son uses the 360 for PGR4 (he is very good though little~*$%!!;)) so im more than often relegated to either the ps2 or XB.

1. Well i have been a PS fan since 97, and this plattform always has a widwe variety of games that suits my gaming preferences.

2. Level 5 is a second party developer for Sony *points down* :D

3. Square Enix exclusives.

I have the extra money, so I got all three of the next gen systems. Give or take if I had to choose one it would of been the PS3, because I feel safe with having the system and the future looks bright. I love FF and MGS as well, but I also do not know if games like monster hunters will ever go multiplatform, just another reason to have it imo.

I'm a gamer so as one I want to play as many games as I can get my hands on. The deciosn was pretty easy. I got them all. 360 first because it came out first and then the PS3 and Wii on the same weekend. Each system gives you different types on enjoyment and I enjoy them all. I can't wait for FF, MG4, and Killzone not including many others from other consoles. To truly game I need to be able to play on on three systems.

Gamers Game....Fanboys Pick Sides.....

I bought a PS3 for the fact that it has the best controller of the three major consoles. It fits so comfortably in my hands and all the buttons are so familiar and intuitive to use. The 360 obviously has an unoriginal controller design that does not work well at all and of course, the Wii's nunchuck is just a gimmick that gets old.gbpman630

hey remeber the boomerang model they had, It looked comofrtable but people complained about the way it looked so they scrapped it. I wonder how it would have felt compared to the classic dualshock

My main reasons were:

1. Quality-reliability of hardware

2. Blu-Ray HD player

3. Only franchise that added weight was Final Fantasy, although I'm psyched about Killzone 2 at the moment

4. Controller - I hate the layout and feel of the 360 controller.

5. Free online service (PSN)

Forgot these:

6. Easilyupgradeable HDD with common laptop HDDs already out on the market at various sizes and not locked into whatever Sony offers only.

7. Built-in Wi-Fi.

8. Doesn't look like something that came out of a hospital.

Damn, how could I forget my biggets reason? Hey, it's been a year..

9. HDMI version 1.3 - PS3 is the ONLY system with version 1.3 for uncompressed video and audio.

Bet no one bought it for the same reason I did...

Got my 2nd DUI and can't party for a year. If I'm stuck at home, mught as well play video games and watch blu-rays.

Bought PS3 over 360 because I'm used to the PS controller and it was new.

Hardware failure rate/good games that run smooth (360) vs. Reliable system/good games, some are crappy ports due to the devs being lazy or afraid to challenge themselves(PS3) vs. cartoonish, party for the kids, Mario will never go away system (Wii).

Yep I am a PS3 owner. I don't have time or want to take a chance at a 360 breaking down on me. And I didn't want to see colorful big headed or cartooony characters (Mario is straight up old school)on my TV screen.

You bet!

And probably your reason just beats everyone else's. Guess you had lots of DUI playing Motorstorm on the PS3, eit?

Why did you get your PS3 for, was it because of fanboism, exclusives, blu-ray, or another reason.
