Video games aren't invesments in the reall meaning of the word anyway. Your investing in entertaiment, but you'll never profit from it.
Reall investments are made with the idea of making money in the long run.
No. It will only depreciate in value. You invest in things that will gain you money, not lose it.foxhound_fox
Exactly.
TC, if you're buying the PS3 for games that will be out in the future, then just buy it after a price drop.
OK people why does everyone get so anal when people use the term investment in regards to a game system? He obviously is asking "do you think he will get his money out of it at this price point". The return on his investment isn't money in this case but gaming joy.

Why not?
its an investment in the same sense the other two are..dont read too much into sony's marketing ..they only say that so you part with the hard earned and that the ps2 is still getting games..
ive got one and its a good system plus i can aford to buy one easy..not many people can
however if i was oing to give you real advice i'd say wait until after e3 and some better games come out so you feel you've justified your purchase and the price you paying cos right now there arent many good games and some of those can be enjoyed on the 360 which yuo already have.

Doesn't stop PS3 Oblivion being AAA.
Right now? Definitely not, too many risks considering the hefty price, questionable format, and crappy line up of games. Eventually however I can't deny that the PS3 would be a good investment, especially if Blu-Ray becomes standard.REVOLUTIONfreak
not many, people not care about high definition format. you know DVD is so popular because fuk so easy copy dvd-rom. I said it's priates copy. I heard hacker can easyc ode ablu-ray for download in PC!
[QUOTE="JiveT"]In my case, it's because I work for a stock brokerage. Using "investment" like that drives me nuts.OK people why does everyone get so anal when people use the term investment in regards to a game system?

investment doesn't always pertain to money
Inasmuch as it's the best dollar value in this generation--even though it's prohibitively priced for most--then yes, the PS3 is the best long-term investment; I'm not going to go anal on your use of the word "investment;" I know what you mean. This is especially true when you consider the possibility of 360 meltdown.
But I'd just like to add my two cents to the Oblivion spinoff conversation. Aren't we talking about a person who already owns a 360? The fact that Oblivion can be played on 360 makes all the difference in the world. It means it can't be a selling point for the PS3, at least not to people who already own a 360. Or, a nice gaming PC. In either case, Oblivion may as well not exist on PS3, because gamers who own those platforms can already play it. That would have been like buying an XBox last generation to play the best-looking version of Vice City, when you already owned a PS2. Yes, the graphics are a little better... but not good enough to justify buying a new console.
