I havent regretted getting mine. but then again I have both a 360 and a PS3, so if my PS3 bores me, I go to my 360.

You're right, it does do all that, the only thing it doesn't do is play PS3 games. Seriously, the TC is obviously interested in the PS3.

If you are interested in it´s exclusives,you should get one.

I got mine just because of F1 CE,Wipeout HD Fury and Heavy Rain and I´m pleased with it.

im going to be honest here. im not gonna give u biased answers. I personally dont own one, BUT whether u want to buy one depends on what kind of games your into. If your more into Jrpgs then yes a PS3 is for you. There are other factors, but that is the most significant difference ive seen between the 360 and PS3.

Good reasons.

If you're gonna post, may as well explain why you're saying no. It'll be more beneficial to the TC.

I don't see why not. It offers you a Blu-Ray player on top of the many quality exclusives among other things.

The PS3 is definitely worth getting in my opinion. It's a great game/Blu-Ray player, and it has alot of exclusives. Sure, some multi-plat games run a little less stellar on the PS3, but it's not as bad as you think. You can check out the game recommendations thread to see what games to get, but you can start by getting both Uncharted 1 and 2. They're both great action/shooters. there's Resistance 1 and 2, Killzone 2, Infamous, Little Big Planet and Metal Gear Solid 4. if you want, I can give you some more recommendations on games.

If you're telling the truth,

then fair enough and congrats.

God Of War 3 for the PC is obviously impossible, though....and that's what the OP specifically said he wanted to play.

Not really.I bought one, and even though I don't regret buying it, its just the games that are actually worth playing(exclusives) aren't worth a $60 price tag for a single player campaign that will last about 10 or so hours.

Uh, I guess it's up to each person individually. It's worth it for me because I have 40 games for it. It depends on how much you'll play it. You can get by without having either console, but it's nice having both.

In my reality of things and educated opinion, if you do not own a 1080p high def television and have no desire in collecting blu ray movies, the PS3 is definitely not worth buying. Now if you want the best of the best games, look no further, the Xbox 360 truly has the almighty library of quality games in quantity.

Uncharted, Demon's Souls, Resistance, LBP, Killzone etc. all have multiplayer on top of/included with the SP campaign. Which PS3 games do you think have short SP campaigns in their respective genre? Halo 3, Battlefield and L4D2 are all in your recently played tab on your GT and they all have short campaigns, but I think they are worth the price tag b/c of multiplayer.

I bought a 360 first and later bought a Slim. Yes, it's worth it. So far I've played GOW, Uncharted 2, and MGS4 as exclusives.

Also buying all my old DVD movies in Blu Ray, and they look magnificent.

You answered your own question, TC.

"I want to buy a PS3. Should I buy one?"

It's not a matter of should you buy one, it's a matter of wanting to buy one.

Buy a PS3 or don't. That's all there is to it.

In the future, make decisions for yourself. If you take the advice from a bunch of geeks on an internet forum and buy a game system you're not happy with, the only person you can blame is yourself.

"Good" is subjective. I really like it. It's similar to Gears of War, but with some platforming and melee thrown into the mix. If you like Gears there is a good chance you'll like it. If you hated Gears there is a good chance you won't like it, in terms of style of play at least.

I've never experienced lag, it's nice and smooth. It had a really long beta cycle, online was nice and polished out of the gate.
