Hay man, ima EX-360 gamer as well. i played it till it burned out twice.
What i did was on my 18th birthday (april 2) i applied for a best buy credit card and got my ps3.
it has a 700$ limit and i only have to pay at least 10 bucks a month. i pay 85 to a 100 to boost my credit rating though.
The ps3 isnt just a consol its a computer. it not about all that fast yippie **** that xbox is about. A ps3 is about the hardware, the investement in your entertainment. Ps3 is supeior to the xbox in every way shape and form. When xbox was released they had a %50 fail rate. Ps3 less than %5
Thanks guys, just found one on craigslist, 40gig for $325. Is 40 gig enough with all the games that force installs?
yeah honestly i dont think that many games have installs. the only one i have is MGS4 but if you need more space later on, you can get a 250gb hard drive for about $60. 40gb should last you for now if you're not planning on downloading a ton of demos.Thanks guys, just found one on craigslist, 40gig for $325.

I'm sorry i really have to add to this topic
First off a back story, I love gaming and i game on ALL platforms but there was a point when i only had a 360 and wii and i really wonted a ps3, I wonted one so much i spend a crazy amount of money on this over priced bit of cr@p....i'm sorry but the ps3 is really bad...it updates all the time that take a long long looooonnnngggg time to do, it hardly has any good exclusives, the pad is really outdated (it was designed back when the ps2 was made) and the online cuts you off all the time because it has a fare use thing going on....
I'm sorry again but it really did piss me off that its so deer and its really cr@p...
Dont buy one there awful
And another thing the ps3 hates to work with laptops and ipods! another thing everyone says it dose well....but ow wait no it dosnt....
I got roped in by every ps3 owner who i found out our all fan boys....i got ripped off by them all because they lie to sell there over priced machine.
umm i think a lot of the problems that you have, have to do with your connection speed. for updates, it normally takes about an hour and there come out every 2 months or so max. plus you can set it to turn off after it's done updating, so it can update while your sleeping. also the no good exclusives?? i'm sorry but thats just ignorant. killzone 2, uncharted, infamous, uncharted 2, littlebigplanet, MGS4, resistance 2 i could go on for days!! also the controller is an opinion. the original sixaxis was ok, but the dualshock 3 feels really solid and smooth in your hands. i don't think you ever really gave the ps3 a chance.I'm sorry i really have to add to this topic

A slim, cheaper model will probably be announced at E3 so wait until then.
excuse me but i am a fan of games, and the ps3 is just the device i use to play them. i'm not a fanboy. and what exactly are you saying about the laptop and ipod thing?And another thing the ps3 hates to work with laptops and ipods! another thing everyone says it dose well....but ow wait no it dosnt....

I own both consoles and personaly 360 is my main gaming console i use PS3 mostly for blu-ray movies.
I have Killzone2, LBP, MGS4, Warhawk, R2
There all pretty good games but im a big online multiplayer. Xbox Live is far far surperior in terms of connectivity and features. Graphics wise... id say both consoles are about even PS3 has slightly better lighting 360 has better textures.
Are you gonna keep your 360 too?I've been slowly getting drawn in by the PS3, blu-ray, Killzone 2, and FFXIII(All versions)

Seriously dude... WHAT are you takling about? The complaints you have are so silly. Too many updates? Last time I checked updates were a good thing! It means they're making stuff better! There is no fair usage BS. You obviously have a bad connection. I never get kicked off. I'm typing this post in my PS3's web browser right now!! No good exclusives?? You obviously just don't know what's good or have not actually played any of them. And whats with the laptop and ipod? What's that all about? Whoever told you that your PS3 could sync with your iPod lied, buddy. No console can do that. It can stream media from your laptop, though. I don't know what else a laptop and a PS3 are supposed to do together. Anyway, saying its crap is your opinion, and you are presenting it as if it wer fact. That's called trolling, my friend. Please, refrain from posting any of this mumbo jumbo on here in the future. I'm sure the TC can spot a troll when he sees one and know better than to listen to posts such as these. Why would a PS3 owner try lie and tell everyone that the PS3 is best if it was just crap. We all love our PS3s for very very good reasons. Just like you love your favorite console. Now get of the computer and go play it before it gets jealous. ;) Peace.I love it that because i think something thats not the same as what you think i'm a wrong and a troll?
My point is i got a ps3 on the thoughts of what other ps3 owners think and i got stuffed! its not the updates that are bad but the lengh of time it takes to update them, and the exclusives our ALL sony ones. the laptop and ipod thing is: my ps3 wont steam from my laptop but all other media devises i have steam with my laptop not a problem, the ipod thing is: it wont play from my ipod when its connected to my ps3.
PS: i've got a 24mb connection so its not my connection thats the problem
Though someone said mabye i've not givin the ps3 a chance....that ones mabe abit true....but these problems our still there and the topic is called "xbox 360 fanboy, might be converting to ps3" i'm just saying how i felt after buying a ps3 and i'm not impressed with it
First, no need to be a 360 fanboy converting to a PS3 fanboy, just stop being a fanboy. Do not sell your console. Wait until after E3 (June 2nd-4th) for a possible price cut.
Learn the differences between both consoles. Research the PS3 and it's exclusives. Make sure you know what you're getting into.
If you do get a PS3 realize that it can fail. Not as often as the 360 (then again, I know 360's that haven't failed), but it can happen. Last, enjoy being a PS3 owner.
LOL. your connection sucks. my updates wont ever take no longer than 30 mins. its your connection buddy.its not the updates that are bad but the lengh of time it takes to update them, and the exclusives our ALL sony ones.

and last time i checked valkyria is made from sega. not sony. so obviously not ALL are sony exclusives.
steam or stream? STEAM is for the PC if youre talking about streaming Heard of ps3mediaserver ?my ps3 wont steam from my laptop but all other media devises i have steam with my laptop not a problem, the ipod thing is: it wont play from my ipod when its connected to my ps3.

wow. seriously. my 30gb ipod video works. if its the itouch then of course it doesnt. even the 360 cant read it because it doenst have a HDD like the old one does.the ipod thing is: it wont play from my ipod when its connected to my ps3.

free online (people say PSN sucks, but not it doesn't) Plus, it's a FREE service, so why complain if there's a problem? At least it's FREE!!! also, there's plenty of good exclusives already available, and many coming out later this year, and early next year. If there's a price drop, then I see absolutely no reason why anyone wouldn't want a PS3....I've been slowly getting drawn in by the PS3, blu-ray, Killzone 2, and FFXIII(All versions)

My ps3 can stream perfectly from my laptop, so there's something wrong with your setup. For the iPod, you have to browse through the folders. Over iPod, press triangle > Display all > iPod Control > Music. and after all those steps, you should see folders with names such as "F00, F01, etc". The music seems to be in no particular order, but it can be played.the laptop and ipod thing is: my ps3 wont steam from my laptop but all other media devises i have steam with my laptop not a problem, the ipod thing is: it wont play from my ipod when its connected to my ps3.

PSN does not suck if you are to talk about connectivity some games have dedicated servers so which means no lag.
That's all fine, and you're totally allowed to have an opinion, but you really need to realize ALL of those things are either due to your connection or your inability to properly operate the system. I stream movies onto my PS3 all over the house wirelessly. I NEVER get disconnected while playing online. My updates (depending on size) take anywhere from 10/15min to 45min at the very very most, from the moment I start the download to the second it finishes installing. You have to realize that your problems are not due to the PS3. They just aren't.I love it that because i think something thats not the same as what you think i'm a wrong and a troll?

I wouldn't get a PS3 if you plan on playing online, the PSN sucks, which is why it's free. There are also standalone Blu-ray players out there that sell for less than the PS3 now, but the PS3's player is still one of the best. Also you're stuck with less games to choose from, and a web browser = EEEEPPPPIIIICCCC FFFFAAAAIIIIILLLLLLL for a game console. LAWL!
Killzone 2 isn't that great by the way.
[/QUOTE} Dude all that is opinion. You have no way to prove the PSN sucks. I think its just as good as any other I fail to see what people complain about. There are quite a few amazing games. I (and TONS of other people) love Killzone 2. I don't think the FPS on your favorite console are all that great. See... Its opinion. And who uses a console strictly for a web browser anyway?? Get outta here with that mess.Please Log In to post.
