Ok COWs please explain to me what made you buy a PS3 besides the name Playstation?

I understand you want to play Final Fantasy and Metal Gear, but those games don't come out for a while.

Why spend the U$600.00 now when you could have waited a bit?

Did you get sucked in the Hype? Because from November till today the PS3 has been mostly hype.

I'm not a cow, but if I was, it would be only so that I could play it on my 60 inch HDTV. And of course, 5+ games I want at that time.

PS3 let me down, I was going to buy it but now, the 360 is firing from all angles. IMO If the PS3 catches up it won't be till 08.

I haven't bought one yet, but Blu-Ray, HDMI, 1080p, future games, backward compatibility (upscaled to 1080p now). If I could afford it, I'd buy a 360 right now, so I had something to play. Then buy a PS3 when FF XIII, GT5, and Killzone come out.

the BC is a Huge reason whyI bought the ps3... and I don't regret it since the 1.80 update (upscale)

free online

and to top it off

most of my favorite games are coming

a HD movie player...

also, I would like to mess around with the Home service.

I'm pretty sure I have more reason why, but if you can afford a ps3 around the holiday season you should definitely pick one up.

Resistance , Tekken 5: DR , VF5 for me at the moment. I also knew that games will be coming out for the PS3 eventually. Sony knows how to make games and alot of the time delivers AA-AAA games. I personally cant wait until GT5 comes out ( I know it will be a long wait :( ) ,but that and Forza 2 will make me happy.

the games and also blu-ray lol. so far I've been enjoying VF5, Motorstorm, Tekken 5: DR and other multiplats.

my Ninja Gaiden Sigma just came today, and I'm loving it. even though I've played Ninja Gaiden Black, this is a lot better than it. imo, Ninja Gaiden Sigma is better than all next gen games released. this is just my opinion. I LOVE these type of games, Ninja Gaiden, Devil May Cry etc.

there is nothing on X360 and Wii out now that I want.

to all PS3 owners, make sure you get Ninja Gaiden Sigma, it is a must-buy title. and I'm sure lot of PS owners have not played Ninja Gaiden.

Less reports of breakage, Free online, and BC since I never owned a ps2.

Oh and the good graphics, br thingy helps a bit too. I don't even have a ps3 and I am planning on getting it when Singstar, Warhawk, and MGS is out.

360- you have to paid to play online, must-have warranty.

Wii - no games right now so I will wait. My bros say it is a great party console and not as fun when playing solo.

Sony fan here... 1. The types of games the Playstation brand is known for. 2. The games that were shown at earlier E3's. 3. Blu-Ray 4. Online and multimedia functions. 5. BC

Ps3 online free, friends are getting Ps3

Socom is my favorite game and Ps1 and Ps2 are my fav systems

Sony knows what a player wants and they dont need 1 game to sell their console

Blu-ray

360's die left and right

The Controlller is the best

It's will have the best games..( like Ps1 and Ps2 )

Sony knows what they are doing

I bought it because I'm a gamer not a fanboy. As a sidenote I also wanted a BD player, and as funny as it sounds now, the launch title exclusive Assasin's Creed, and Motorstorm looked to good to wait for.

I chose the PS3 because the games will utilize the bluray and the standard HDD (deny bluray if you want, but you can't say the HDD is not a huge gamingadvantage)

I didn't have to spend extra money for add ons. Built-in wi-fi is awesome.

The PS3 has a better record for reliabilty. I still think the 360 is a sloppily built console IMO. The PS3 is nice and quiet.

The normal controllers are wireless. The online is free, money-wise and lag-wise.

The 4 USB ports and memory stick slots give it way more versitility.

Last but not least, Sony backs their systems for at least 6 years. Look at what they could produce on the puny PS2in the latter half of its life: MGS3 and GOW2 show off just how great the games could look on the system with such commitment. Similarly, if the PS3 lives through this gen (it's going rough and will continue to be rough. I won't deny that) Sony is going to squeeze every last bit of power out of the system. I know I'm not going to be forced to upgrade after just 4.5 years.

Well the first reason I have a PS3 is MS yes I'll say that again MS. Why you might ask?, well see I was one of those poor suckers that had an xbox and what did MS do for me it's loyal costumer? The just dropped me thats right no more games..

Well then the 360 gets release and I start to think well maybe I should upgrade and get it..Well you can guess what happens next yes you know what I'm going to say, The Dreaded 3 rings..Stories start to appear more and more and I think to myself, Once bitten twice shy. So No to the 360..

Now the Ps3 comes out and yes it has HDMI and I just happen to have a HDTV with HDMI so far so good.

Blu Ray yes Blu Ray you see at the time my DVD player took a dive and I need a new player but I started thinkin humm Blu Ray..

PS2 Well you see there was this huge library of games still available and more still coming out. You see Sony didn't abandon their costumers like MS did. Half of the games I can pick up used for like 10 bucks GOW RE4 ect see I'm not waiting for games I have them..

Free online, see I was more of a hermit and have never payed for online, why should I start now.

Finally MS release a new SKU and they add HDMI you know the one they said you didn't need a just a short while ago..They don't add the HD dvd player Nor Wifi and to boot they didn't put in the 65 chip that might have helped with the 3 rings..

So I bought the Ps3 and have never regretted my choice..

Well because some of us actually own a 1080p TV (you'd be suprised how many people do) and like to watching blu-ray movies. Plus, if you think that MGS and FF are the only games that are worth buying the ps3 for then you seriously need to stop playing video games...

I bought it the same day I bought my 50" DLP. I wanted to play Resistance really bad. Right now I only have 2 games for it, but I am totally comfortable with it just folding until the 2nd-Gen games start to get released.

I don't have a ps3 but what got me hyped about it was mainly Metal Gear Solid 4, Final Fantasy 13, Final Fantasy Vs. 13, Eye of Judgement looked interesting and Warhawk and Lair look like alot of fun. Also resistance got me hyped up as well. These are just my reasons for wantinga ps3 and I believe I will get it probably within the next 3-6 months maybe more I always wanted one and didn't really want a 36, I have one yes and I do enjoy it sometimes but i've always wanted the ps3.

Well, I wanted something new, and I knew I'd need a PS3 eventually. So it was either buy PS3 now and get it over with, or buy one of the other two, but still have to buy a PS3 when MGS4 came out.

Also, I really needed a FPS that wasn't Halo 2, and Resistance fit the bill.

Please don't hype 8 days...You're going to be in for a BIG surprise when 1) It's not shown at E3 and presumed totally canned or 2) It's severly DOWNGRADED like the rest of the '05 games shown from Sony.

It looks nice, Wifi, BC, HD, HDD, functionality with psp, great games coming out though this shouldve been going on from launch, plays mp3 andmpeg data files on dvd-r or hddnot sure if the 360 does that, sd, memory stick compatible, seems like a better buy rather than getting bits and pieces youre getting everything you need all in 1 built-in.

First off I'm not a Cow. I bought it knowing that in the future it will most likely bring the most quality and varied games. It's a long term investment.

Great Additions: Linux Yellow Dog (installed it last week), Blu-Ray movies, Amazing upscaling and backwards copatibility, easy HDD acces via USB for pics and music, and WiFi (I game downstairs from the router so that's perfect).

I didn't care about the price at all. It's worth what you pay definitely. As for now I'm still having fun with Resistance Online and Motorstorm and I'm playing Oblivion again (even though I beat it on 360) until the heavy hitters release.

Any GAMER with the money to comfortably invest into all systems should do so. I'm glad I dont get to miss out on anything

Ok COWs please explain to me what made you buy a PS3 besides the name Playstation?

I understand you want to play Final Fantasy and Metal Gear, but those games don't come out for a while.

Why spend the U$600.00 now when you could have waited a bit?

Did you get sucked in the Hype? Because from November till today the PS3 has been mostly hype.

BlueBarad

I am not a cow, I own a X360, but purchased a PS3 about 3 weeks ago and here is why. I want Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Heavenly Sword, Lair, Uncharted, new Ratchet & Clank, and Haze (Ps3 main platform). I have 2 HD-TV's so I also wanted a Blu-ray player. Purchasing a PS3 now is allowing me to play catch-up on RFOM and Motorstorm now, then the above mentioned games well be arriving.

I will still be getting Halo 3, Bioshock, and possibly MAss Effect (not a huge RPG fan), but I also wanted to play some PS3 games.

go here http://ps3gc.com/ only thing is, that you have to manually update the games you are playing. Where as X360 gamertag's can be linked to XBL, so its automatically updated.

The fact it has a built in Blu-ray player, all of the games i want are comming to it, free online, and Home looks interesting. Yea the 360 has alot of AAA games but none of those really look that great to me.

I bought it bcuz its the winner of the last gen, Bluray, and my favorite PS2 games with next-gen graphics and the new IPs, free online, and built to last me for years.
