The PS3, in my opinion...is a superbly crafted console, but the decisions of what they put inside of it are questionable. i think bluray will win, so that isnt TOO bad of an add-on, but the cell has seriously hampered development for the console. NO AAA games on gamerankings agrees. Its a cool looking console with SWEET buttons and runs quiet, but the architecture has led to horrible games, and i think it is too late to catch up. I dont think question the console itself, but the architecture of the console, which has led to less than stellar games. Also, the online PALES in comparison to XBL...its the sad and simple truth. Paying 50 bucks per year for a service on par with XBL is needed.

If they would drop the price another $100 (to $300) and add BC back in I MIGHT buy one. I don't have a need for Blu-Ray though. I have an expensive 2-year old DVD player that upconverts DVD to 1080. They look fantastic.

You are in the wrong forum if you feel this way.

"Ragging" is what system wars is for.

Don't take it personally (unless you work for Sony).

Two points:

1) When I bought it nearly a year ago I was told then "just wait for the 2007 games they will own", now I am being told "just wait for the 2008 games they will own". Is it unreasonable to ask Sony to deliver?

2) As for the Blu-Ray, I will make the same point I did when people thought me odd for owning a launch PS2 and having a stand alone DVD player. Right now a PS3 is 400 bucks or so while a Blu-Ray player is in the range of 450 - 1200, in a year or two when Johnnie Gamer burns out his PS3 laser because he has used it for gaming and movies the Blu-Ray players will be 99.99 while a PS3 will be around 300 or 250? If PS2 is any example there were some in my group of friends that killed the laser in a year and replacing the PS2 was still 429.99CDN while DVD players at that point where 149.99 - 199.99. Moral of the story, DON'T USE CONSOLES for movies.

how does it not have any good games. Please fully explain this?

I swear, 3 AAAs (even though they are multiplat), and plenty of AAs and yet you still try to use this arguement.

Learn some real logic, good is not defined by system wars logic. Not everyone buys all 3 systems, and not everyone has the same taste. If you don't think the PS3 has any games you want, then good for you, don't buy one. But stop trying to use your "opinion" as a fact.

*sigh* ok sorry about that should have been clearer let me rephrase that. It doesn't have any good games THAT I WANT then does that make it a good console for me? no it doesn't.

So why must I keep waiting for great games. For it to be a great console it needs to have great games. I don't need great movies.

Games are what make a system great and the PS3 doesnt have them. Sure they have some pretty fun games and a lot of third party games but they still dont have any AAA exclusives.

LMFAO

You actually used "Just wait" in your post. :lol:

Why wait when you can play now? The world might end next year if a big meteor is heading our way. Play now, man.

Even if the world is still around in 08, what if those games you waited for flop hard?

And we all know that all the waiting in the world is not going to give you a good Sony online experience. Home is not the answer. Sony should have copied XBL, but instead they decided to reinvent the wheel. Big mistake!!!

This should be all the proof you needed that all Sony did was sell everyone a Bluray player that also plays games. I mean how can anyone consider the PS3 a game console when there are literally no good games for it. Every single game feels cheap. It almost feels as cheap as those $20-30 little game machines they sell to kids in toy stores that only plays one or two games.

i wouldnt buy ps3 simply because of it's split system memory architecture vs 360's unified, 256+256=crap.

Not to mention it's gpu is really outdated.

So, you're never going to buy one then...

That's all up to Sony now, isn't it? If they do the right thing me and people like myself might buy one. If they continue to charge outrageous prices then no person with a modicum of intelligence will buy one.

No good games means exclusive. Why would I buy a PS3 to buy games I can play elsewhere? Convince me.

WHere you can play elsewhere for cheeper and that run better :).

It wouldn't be so bad with all the just waiting crap IF it was cheap. Since I wouldn't mind dropping £200 on it, if it was that cheap and I could get the games later.

But since it's horribly expensive AND the good games on it I can play on a cheaper console, at a better rate with more better games. Would why I buy it?

sony screwed over ps3 fans more than microsoft screwing over 360.

My xbox360 doesnt have hdmi like newer 360's, but atleast it can still do all the same crap as the hdmi version.

difference between vga/hdmi is very little, not worth the upgrade dont care.

PS3 is an awsome console. The thing is people want instant gradification. I mean lets look logically here. PS2 owned Xbox for the last console war. I mean so far the 360 has nothing the PC doesn't have. So why have an xbox? Gears is great. Halo 3 gets old. And everything else is on the other consoles. Gamespot is extreamly biased twoard the 360 for no clear reason. PS3 will have games that are not just shooters. And yes xbox fanboys I know mass effect. Yeah ok. Well no offense but the only RPG you guys got going for you is Fable 2. So just chill and stop all this **** There will always be the PS3 gamers and the 360 gamers. In the end we will see who had won.

Yes the PS3 is a great system. It has everything I want in one all in one box plus THE mega line-up in 08, sorry 360 fans but it starts with MGS4 and the ball just keeps on rollin from there. Yes it stumbled at launch, yes Kutaragi was smoking "something" with his arrogance and yes "chicken" developers are jumping ship because theydon't want to take the challenge and ultimate reward for attacking new technology and learning it instead of whining about it, but things do and always change.I'll day it until I see otherwise....2008, Sony sets things straight.

Of course the ps3 is a good console but it seems that a lot of people let GS choose which games they play. They instantly see that the game has'nt gotten AAA and then decide not to buy it, and when you consider that the PS3 does'nt have as much AAA games as the Xbox 360 then it's understandable why it's not very popular. However, people on SW seem to look at it like "The PS3 does'nt have any AAAE games therefore it sucks" which is really silly, it's ok if none of the games appeal to you but to go out and say the console and games suck just because they did'nt get AAA is ridiculous. They way i look at it is the Xbox 360 is my favorite console right now but due to the amount of PS3 games i want now and next year i think it will change when i buy a ps3.

It's a great game IYO, not everyone else's. So you're basically saying stop having an opinion? Ok. While there are still faults with the PS3, which there are, you can't come out and demand people stop criticizing it. Puhleez grow up.

PS3 is a great console. Honestly, I'd rather have a PS3 than a Wii.

Basically for me: XBox 360 >>> PS3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Wii :lol:

At least 3rd party games are coming to PS3, despite heavy development costs.

I'd rather wait for a AAAE game for the PS3 than wait for my Xbox 360 to return from Microsoft for repairs.  I can still, you know, play games on the system, regardless of how "good" or "bad" they're considered to be.  Reviews are subjective and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of all gamers.  I have many PS3 games and I've had a great time with all of them.  I guess that makes me a bad gamer... :roll:

It's amusing that Lemmings usually resort to the "just wait" argument when, really, that's what 33% (I'm being very generous) of them are doing themselves.  I sometimes imagine Xbox 360 owners and the anxiety they must feel every time they turn on their system.  Do you cross your fingers?  Rub your lucky rabbit's foot?  Say a little prayer to the gaming gods?  It's really, really sad.

Does the Xbox 360 have good/great games?  Absolutely.  If the system were reliable and didn't suffer from what Microsoft itself admits to be a fatal design flaw (http://www.fastsilicon.com/latest-news/microsoft-admits-all-xbox360s-are-defective.html?Itemid=60), I would be the proud owner of an Xbox 360 right now.  This, however, is not the case.  When I spend my hard-earned money, I expect the product to work exactly as it's supposed to work.  I don't care about extended warranties.  Microsoft had to do that to avoid a deluge of lawsuits.  Even with the extended warranty, if your system fails, you're still JUST WAITING.

The PS3 is a great console with plenty of great games to play right now and more coming soon.  Yes, you heard me, I'm waiting.  And so are you.  If you aren't now, 360 owners, you will be...

Honestly I look forward to getting a PS3, I have just been poking fun at the cows today since they are upset over the R&C score. I had all 3 consoles last generation and have 2 of the 3 this generation. There is no doubt that I will eventually get a PS3, I know there will be some amazing games coming to it. It has a couple right now I wouldn't mind playing, but not enough the interest me for a definite purchase at this moment. One things for sure I'm going to have to win the lotto when I get a PS3, I 'm already going broke trying to keep up with all the games coming out for my other two consoles, PC and the DS.
