If you have a 360, you don't need a PS3, or visa versa.

As much as I complain about the PS3 not having enough RPGs, I can't justify getting a 360 for one good reason: Opportunity cost.

The PS3 plays most of the games the 360 plays. There is only about a 30 game difference between the two consoles (Regarding only decently reviewed ones) and unless you like at least 10 of those exclusives yourself, it simply isn't worth it.

$200 can be, if you shop right, 10 games - or 8 games and DLC for several games you already own. In the case of buying a PS3 when you have a 360, it's only about $100 to put a bluray player on your laptop, so you're losing $300 in the exchange that you could spend on games, or bluray movies, even if all you want the PS3 for is a to play Bluray discs.

I just thought I'd make this clear to everyone who might be tempted by the new bundles that are available for the PS3 this week. Ask yourself if MGS4 and KZ2 are REALLY worth $300 to play before you buy them.

This is the truth and where the thread should end.

See the others?

They are proof things rarely happen like they should.

I see your points. A great deal of the games you can play on both consoles, but I couldnt imagine NOT being able to play MGS4, Uncharted, Gears 2, Mass Effect 1, LBP, Killzone 2, Left 4 Dead, Lost and the Damned, inFamous, Forza Motorsport etc. It's those games that I enjoy that I would not want to do without so having both makes it totally worth it for me.

There are more good exclusive games besides MGS4 and KZ2.... Uncharted, Resistance, LBP.... you could reach those $300 with some other exclusives

...So that means you must edit your first post. "Videogames are wants, not needs for most people." Or something like that :P

I'm not making much sense now am I? :lol:

LOL @ ThyLord...I got your point before you fixed it though. I kinda figured you messed up. The posters here are quick to catch errors eh? LOL.

As much as I complain about the PS3 not having enough RPGs, I can't justify getting a 360 for one good reason: Opportunity cost.

The PS3 plays most of the games the 360 plays. There is only about a 30 game difference between the two consoles (Regarding only decently reviewed ones) and unless you like at least 10 of those exclusives yourself, it simply isn't worth it.

$200 can be, if you shop right, 10 games - or 8 games and DLC for several games you already own. In the case of buying a PS3 when you have a 360, it's only about $100 to put a bluray player on your laptop, so you're losing $300 in the exchange that you could spend on games, or bluray movies, even if all you want the PS3 for is a to play Bluray discs.

I just thought I'd make this clear to everyone who might be tempted by the new bundles that are available for the PS3 this week. Ask yourself if MGS4 and KZ2 are REALLY worth $300 to play before you buy them.

I dont understand your logic because different people have different opportunity costs, it depends on a variety of things.

People withabove average incomedo not have to make descions of scarcity over small things like this.

Just to remind you: Opportunity cost or economic opportunity loss is the value of the next best alternative forgone as the result of making a decision

Your title raises a good point. What needs to be drilled home however is you don't NEED a 360 and a gaming PC and a PS3. The 360 gets the best of all worlds.

You DO NEED a gaming PC if your going exclusive PS3.

So the 360s always got the edge, it's always got twice the punch the PS3 will ever have.

For some it may be...and those people already have ONLY 1 system and those who can afford both already HAVE both.

Don't try to make economic decisions for others.

That's like telling people to not eat at any restaurants/fast food places for 1 month....so they could save up $200 and get both.

dude trust me, yes you do

In reply to the topic, untrue. I need a PS3 to play Killzone 2, obviously.

I would say if you're a PS3 owner then there really is every reason to pick up a 360.I mean not only is the 360 cheaper but it has a lot more quality and variety in its software library.

On the other hand if you're a 360 owner then teh PS3 is just to expensive and has too weak a library to justify purchasing one, especially considering the quality advantage the 360 has over it.

Basically if you're a 360 owner then you're good to go.Sadly the same cannot be said for people who have only a PS3.
