That's very easy. You walk up to a store, slap the cash down the register and yell: "PS3..NOW!"

Then you go home and enjoy both systems ^_^

Exactly...see now your thinking. The PS3 is actually an investment lol Trust me you won't be dissapointed, just got out and buy one and you won't need/want convincing...you'll just want to play all the great games.

I have both. I love both. Nothing beats giving up Warhawk for Halo 3, then Halo 3 for Rachet and Clank (when it's released). I love having the choice to pick which version of a cross-platform game I'm going to buy. Who cares which version of COD4 or GTA IV is better? I'm going to buy the better versions. Who cares that a game is released on one console first, then another. When you own both, it's a win-win situation. Though the PS3 has suffered some serious disappointments in the past, I honestly believe that developers are starting to get their acts together. Looking forward to Drake's Uncharted and possibly Haze (though I'm a little FPSed out). Also, Blu-ray playback kicks ass and the PS3 looks real real pretty sitting beneath my 50" HDTV. If you can afford it, then go treat yourself. It's worth it.

Step 1

Go to your preferred videogame site

Step 2

Look up the games being released for the system

Step 3

Ask yourself "do I, as a gamer, want these games enough to warrant a $400 - $600 purchase?"

Step 4

Proceed accordingly

Step 5

Thank QqueB for showing you the way

I would agree with the statement that the PS3 is more of an investment. Reason being is that the only thing I didn't like about my PS3 when I got it was the price tag. But until this day I have no regrets. Don't get me wrong, it can't play Halo, Gears of War, or Bioshock, but it still is a great system that's more than just a gaming console (ithas a built in blu-ray player and internet browser, I know that about the 60 gb model). You won't regret having the PS3 if you do decide to get it.

I own both an Xbox 360 and a PS3, when I first got my PS3 I was really dissapointed in it due to lack of great games and dumb ports. But right now the PS3 is gaining some ground on the 360 in terms of great games. I would say buy one, because next year is going to be an awesome year for the PS3.

The PS3 to sum it up in one word: Expedient.

Games are coming to the PS3 like wild fire, more so than the 360 pretty soon.

R&C

Uncharted

Call of Duty 4

Army of Two

Eye of Judgment

Assassins Creed

DMC:4

Haze

UTIII

Not to mention the ones that are excellent or pretty decent that are out right now:

Warhawk (Awesome online.)

Resistance (Great single player, and great multi player.)

Heavenly Sword

Raindow Six: Vegas (equivalent to the 360 version IMO.)

VF:5

Oblivion:GOTY (Now $30.00 and the difference is clear between the 360 and PS3 versions.)

There are also the games to come that we all look forward to:

MGS4

Killzone2

FFXIII

GT5

Tekken 6

Socom(PS3)

Sing Star

Jak and Daxter:TLF

War Devil

White Knight Story

Resident Evil: 5

Spy:MMO

There are also the ones that we don't know about yet, not to mention the NCsoft contract with Sony now. I also believe that when the PS3 sells more units it will get even more exclusives. So I hope this post was a little convincing for ya.

Hey tryfe, I call these type of threads, sticky threads..

To the TC... no one needs to convince you to do anything. I am (no oneelse should)not going to give you reasons why you should buy one or not. If you can buy a PS3, go get one.

Wait for the 40 gig.

It's cheaper than an elite (and premium, techincally)... and it has an HD player andmetal gear solid and final fantasy and LA Noire and a new version of lost planet! lol.

That's reason enough, i think.
