Pretty funny that this comes up. I just started a board on the 360 page about 2 hours ago saying that PS3 is better than 360 and the Xbox fanboys should come over to Sony. I got a point deduction from gamespot and they took my board off the site(I find it absolutly hilarious that someone on there would report me for expressing my opinion that PS3 is WAY WAY better than 360) I just was bored and wanted to find out why some people still insist on saying Xbox is better. Really I was just backing up brand SONY. As for your qustion: Why did I buy a PS3?? Where do I start... Well its a Blu Ray, DVD, CD(not that exciting), PS1, PS2, and PS3 player. It stores videos, pictures, and music. It has a internet browser. You dont have to pay for online. Although many stuborn people will disagree, it has some really great games out, and will soon enough have some WAY better games than the 360. AND the PS3 is the most reliable system(even though mine just broke, but im pretty sure it was the internet browser)!! Soooo thats why I got my PS3, I think I hit the main points, but if anyone spots anything that I did miss please point it out some I have somemore fire power against the 360 girls. AND PLEASE nobody report me for expressing my mind. If anything I have said in this post is upsetting to anyone, well then I kindly suggest some help. Think thats all I have to say for now... GO PS3!!!!!!

Reliability was my main factor. I had actually gone to buy a Premium 360, which was on sale at the time but Best Buy was all sold out. This was not too long after Halo 3 came out. They had one 60gb PS3 left in stock so I bought that instead. Got $100 off it to boot. Also, I own a PSP so I thought it would be nice to link the two. It's unfortunate that remote play is grossly underutalized. It was my first Playstation brand TV top console. I skipped out on the last generation for PC gaming and I had an N64 before then.

It's realiable and it's Sony i've been with them since I was younger of course when I was younger I also played games for games. I had nintendo, sega and Sony consoles. But now that I can only afford to support one system I felt the PS3 was the best choice. I loved the games over the years im older now and felt the wii had a weak online and game lineup for my liking. The 360 has too many shooters and you have to pay for their online. The PS3 has a variety of games as well as the old ones that i loved, free online and Home and new IPs.

Because I have a PS2 to play all my games on PS3 and because I couldn't turn down MotorStorm or Ratchet and Clank. :D

You have to watch it all for it to make more sense, I spent to much time on the first two games.

This is why and 09 will inded maybe even use 80% Power. I mean DOes anyone really think PS3 games will run at 30% for the next 5 years,, lol. No I did not think so either. MGS4 will even look like junk by what 2010 PS3 stuff will look like.

I think you got reported because there are alot of angry people trolling around these forums and they like to try and feel cool by getting folks in trouble. I got reported by a fellow named " xeforgotten " for talking about PS3 hardware on THIS board. " This is not a board to talk about system hardware blah blah blah." Normally it is just grumpy people trying to feel like they have some power over someone else. Don't let the h8 get you down m8

Oh and when you get done with that long test vid. Read what EA had to say about the PS3. They said they will still have some hurdles to learn and get over, but!

I lost my 3rd name. Yea I have been here a long time! And been cut many times. The one time it was for the same thing. Reporting on true hardware issues. Nothing more. The race is about to shift, and alot are just frustrated. But Like I said a millions times. You had to be a idiot not to see it coming. To many things just fall into easy mathematical place for the PS3 future. I mean many said it, but its like alot did not want to hear it. Who cares. The point of graphical gaming, is garbing the best newest, toughest to learn hardware, so you can make the best gaming experience from it. Not to grab basic hardware that does stuff you can already do, and make just more ok games. And I cant see why the public would not want to go foward to better. And thats the PS3.

Besides games and blu-ray, why put a restriction on that? I bought it cuz of the games. I don't like the xbox and although I do like nintendo, my wii is patiently waiting for me to start playing it again. I had a ps2 and loved it so I knew the ps3 would be awesome too

I've stuck with Sony always, it's easier to keep up in technology if you stick with one company :D

I've been through they're ups and downs, heck I still have a Betamax machine :D

Someone says "oh my Xbox can do this..." I can say "ya well can your Xbox go online for free, interact with thousands of other users in an online virtual world, watch an HD video withouth an add on, and have a low failiure rate?"

I had a PS1 and PS2 (both launch consoles) and love them, so I was like hey, PS3 can't be horrible. One of the best purchases of my life.

I was saving up for a 360, and my dad knew about it.

He happened to be out of town when i was nearing 400 bucks for a 360. He was working with some dude who had a stock of PS3's (its a long story, i dont remember why), and my dad kind of saved his butt from getting fired, so the guy said he'd give us a deal on a ps3. Got the 60 gig for about 350$.

Two days later dad arrived at LAX with a brand new ps3.(also, i only had to pay for half because dad wanted a blu ray player XD)

Ive been a big sony fan for ages. Own the PS1,PS2,PSP so this came naturally. Another reason being that it was a multimedia system giving everything i need. Great system, great quality. Worth the buy at launch for me personally.

I choose it mainly for GTA IV and even after i heard it was going to xbox too i still wanted one. Then once i also heard that the 60gb was going away as well as full BC it kinda forced me to get one back then lol. MGS 4 is another big reason and KZ 2 looks awesome even if i didnt care that much for the first.

I've always been on Sony's side.

No regrets purchasing the PS3.

I really thought long and hard before getting my PS3 (granted, I got it a few days after lunch at its regular price then). I've owned many consoles -- including the PS1, Ps2, and PSP -- and it really came down to the fact that I hadn't really had a bad experience with the Playstation products. Now, I wantted to take the gamble on the 360 like I did back with the PS1, but nothing stood out. I guess B/C compatibility played a role in my decision as I gave my PS2 to my sis but kept most of the games. Yes, the BD player played a role too. PSP remote play also entized me. And as stupid as this sounds, I like the D-pad and feel to the overall controller on the PS prodcuts. Nintendo'sd-pad just sticks out too much and MS's feels to sunk in in that wheel like pad. Plus I like the R&C series, God of War series and whatever team Ico throws at us (now I like Naughty Dog and expect good stuff for the PS3 from them based on Uncharted; but that is now after a yr of owning the system). Beleive me though, I actually made mental lists of pros and cons to owning a next gen console from only gaming ,f online fees, peripherals, lasting appeal, etc. (grad school, work, and life dosn't really allow me to spend that much time on one console, let alone 2 or 3).... and yes, I find ways to procrastinate.. This is one of those things.

The franchises that were in the PS2 pretty much. MGS, GoW, ICO, Okami, GTA ect. are all made of win.
