My lament and past 4 years of purchase justifiation of buying my PS3.

[QUOTE="djsifer01"]This is kind of funny because, the 360 is the console im trying to justify buying. Im still kicking myself for wasting my money on console i use maybe 3 times a year.XboximusPrime

well, my views arent going to apply to everybody. this is just how I feel.

My main hangup is the multipaltform stuff and the fact that I dont think the console gets as fair of a shake as 360 or the same praise from journalists.

Im guessing that you do not compare the two versions side by side alot do you? (probaly not because, honestly, unless you have gamefly or something, who would willingly buy two versions of the same game besides me? :) ) Anyway, I think if you did, youd notice key things that are consistent with most multiplatform games that make it better on 360:

1. Anti aliasing: alot of times PS3 dosent even have it since its kinda hard to sue on it aside from Quinces which is basicaly a blur filter that nobody likes.

2. Color Vibrancey: SSF4 is a good example. Colors and things are alot of vivid on the 360 version and are darker, giving a better look to it.

3. Screen Tearing.: this seems to be teh new big thing with coimparisons these days. While the comaprison might give the game a tie in visuals, more often tehn not the 360 version of a game has little to no sreen tearing, while the PS3 version could tear upwards of 25 or more percent.

4. FPS (frames per second): this is a oldie but goodie. Usualy, the 360 outperforms PS3 in this area nearly every game thats multiplatform. a good example of this is DAO that, while visualy better on PS3, chugged on PS3 comapred to 360.(or so people say)

5. shadows: shadows can mean many things. Occalision shadows are ones that define faces and stuff like that. A game that had the PS3 version ommited of this was Batman Arkahm Asylum which had shadows on character models on the 360 version that were absent on the PS3 version.

I could go on, but im getting carpel I think. lol.

Also, to add to the sadness that is me in this thread and my issue with this, you know what I do sometimes? I listen to old podcasts where they mention the things they like about the PS3 or games that are exclusive to it to make myself feel better and reassure me I didnt waste my money and that its great. because honestly not that much praise comes to PS3 from these podcasts adn these guys are pros, so if they say its messed up or bad, that must be true. Ithey usualy **** about PSN or something like that where they wont even mention anything PS3 at all because they didnt play anything on it, which could say something as well

Aint that f'ed up? but hey, im being honest, give me that atleast.

You must of missed E3 most of the demo's EA had were all on the PS3, MOH,NFS,DeadSpace. As far as right now I see the PS3 as being much better than the 360... what does the 360 have left Halo and gears. If I was a single console owner I would rather have the PS3 than the 360. But thats just me

I think it's because EA trying to promote the PS3, lately they have been pretty close

It shouldn't matter what others think of the ps3 to you. All that matters is that you enjoy it. There is no need to justify anything to fanboys because they won't listen to anything you say.

i had no illusions about it when i bought it.

i had to buy it because theywere about to gimp the system by taking all the stuff out that i liked the most.

it was my blu-ray player for 2 years then it got better... mostly. but tbo it had nowhere to go but up.

why would one justify their purchase? I got a Wii, 360 and ps3 because I had the money and I could.

One should never justify things to other people thats just a slippery slope.

Owning a PS3 has only gotten better and better and I've had once since launch. If anything now is the time you should be extremely happy to own a PS3! Besides, all the 360 has is Halo, Gears, and Forza. Everything else is either on the PC or PS3.Jrfanfreak88

Dont like Forza that much, but I do relly like Halo and Gears. Plus its got Fable, which is a very solid series. I was a big fan of the first. I liked the second one alot also. ims rue ill like the third as long as there no Civ (the game)kinda stuff in it. Youa re rulinga kingdom after all. Sounds like they could shoe horn a RTS element in the game, which I would probaly hate. Brutal Legend didnt need it. and neither does Fable.

i was soooooo excited to get a ps3 when it launched, i could barely contain myself. But, for some reason i just cant get into it. i hated the first xbox, but the 360 is slowly becoming one of the greatest consoles ive ever owned in my 30 years on this earth. the ps3 has good stuff, but its just been a huge letdown for me when you compare it to the greatness that was the ps2 and ps1.

For the most part anyways. Im not 100 percent sure if EVERY SINGLE game is lead PS3 right now. Past ones werent, it was just a few back then. It really depends on how much ofa say so they have on whats lead platform when they publish a game. if its a game liek Brutal Legend where the game was well ahead in development before EA picked them up, they cant just switch lead SKU like that.

Now is probably the best time to own a PS3...LiftedHeadshot

The PS3 will pass the 360 in sales in 2011, by 2012.

The PS3 has 10 exclusive games I am hyping up to hell right now.

The difference in multiplat games is pretty much not noticable.

TC, if your worried about demos, you can relax, as plenty are now shown on the PS3, and if your not hyped up for atleast 3 or 4 of the exclusives coming, I have to ask you what your looking for!?

inFamous 2, Motorstorm 3, Resistance 3, Killzone 3, Ratchet and Clank, Gran Turismo 5, Socom 4, The Last Guardian, Final Fantasy 13 Vs., Final Fantasy 14, Yakuza 4, and Uncharted 3 (Its coming, I promise that!) If you can't pick 4 games that you don't want on that list, your not a real gamer!
