Not one PS3 game title made Rentrak's top video game rental list for '08:

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6203222.html

They must be buyin' PS3 games cuz they're sure as heck not renting 'em...

360 dominates the list, taking top 5 spots.

Whats the cow argument gonna be? Ps3 owners are affluent, they can afford to buy Haze, not just rent it.

Does this include places like Gamefly?

I have not been to a Blockbuster in years, there is no need anymore.

What a silly thing to say, if they were not buying games there would not even be any figures to look at.

People did buy it for Blu-Ray. PS3 sells way less software than 360 did at 20m units sold.

What's AC doing on that list. I understand that Wii games are on the list because they are good as party games, and Co-op games are on the list because they are good for people looking for something to play through together. Other games are on the list because they are insanely popular. I mean they arn't regular occurences (Co-op sessions and parties.), but what's AC doing on that list? I can't think of one connection what so ever. I mean the game was released in 07.

Not really since the PS3 has the lowest software attach rate. I guys they spent all their money on buying the most expensive console.

He has nothing he can prove. Not to mention the article itself already owned him because he didn't read it. I just love this argument, though. Because PS3 has a HD format that one and its exclusive to the PS3, somehow that makes the PS3 only a movie player. PS3-bashers forget that the 360 HAD HD-DVD add-on but the format lost. Sorry. And they also forget that the 360 plays DVD's as well having the media server feature for viewing movies over your home network. But it isn't a movie player. Ooooooh no. :roll:

This is true. I got it because I could get it for 250 and it plays Blu Ray movies. I still don't own a game for it. I tried some demos out but the controller makes all the games feel shallow.

Sounds like Sony got what they wanted, a new movie format. Guess they were right when they said people would buy them with no games. :P

That article doesn't say that they use it for blu ray either. But you said it yourself. The ps3 owners must be buying games, not renting them. I don't seem to rent games anymore. I used to rent them to see if I wanted to later purchase the game, but games seem so short nowadays that buy the time I return it, I am already about done with the game. And I always rent them for 1 day.

u must enjoy buying crap games a lot!

That was probably a fanboy comment, but it was probably true. Are there really 67 good PS3 games? I mean this gen I have managed about 84 together so far, but that's across PC, Xbox360, PS3, Wii and PSP, and alot of them wern't even good, just very cheap.

That means people dont rent PS3 games as much, really that could mean PS3 games are longer than 5 hours like another console so they are worth buying. But really I doubt that is the real reason just felt like razzing people.

According to the TC, no, you should start selling your games to get only Blu Ray movies, i'm already doing it, this thread open my eyes, my PS3 must only be used to watch movies. :?

A person's definition of good varies so and no I'll admit I have some crappy games on the PS3 but I also have some crap games on the Wii and 360 also. I also wait for games to get to bunget price I don't buy games like Dark Sector & Condemned until they're $20.

I think you're missing the point. The PS3 is a system, not a game. You said it yourself, people buy a PS3... GRAMMAR, PEOPLE, GRAMMAR!!!Today, I heard that the PS2 is STILL the #1 console... In the world. Lol, it's like a first grader whooping a fifth grader. Where the first grader is the PS2 and the fifth grader is the 360. I however, am still drooling over OGL filters.
