Question for PS3 Fanboys

Does it bother you that you paid $600 for a console that will probably cost $200 less by the time you get to actually play the games Sony promised were going to be uber untouchable next-gen gameplay (MGS, GT5, etc)?

I for one would be asking sony for a rebate or something. Its bad enough that the Xbox 360 had games worth playing a year before Sony even launched the PS3, with a console that already cost $200 less...

Electronics never stays the same price. If you go out and buy and HDTV today I guarentee in 6 months it will be $500-$600 dollars cheaper than what you paid for it.

Your argument is stupid. The 360 is going to continue to drop its price as it gets older too. Should early adopting lemmings complain about getting a rebate?

The PS2 was $300 when it first came out, but I could buy one today for $130.

I was listing one, chill out. Gears of War was a popular game, maybe you missed that. Still is even now. There was Oblivion, GRAW, Call of Duty 2, Rainbow Six, and others could be considered. The price cut was recent, a lot of good games came out before that.

No I don't think I am. I bought the PS3 to not just play the games that are out now but the games in the future. The same reason people buy any kind of electronic.

I think you are, otherwise you wouldn't have used that example.

Your analogy would only be correct ifthe tv you bought was not functional until the price dropped. Of course, that would never happen...

meanwhile his point is that cows hype (and presumably bought systems for) games that won't be released untilafter the price has dropped significantly. Unless you can convince me you bought a ps3 for resistance and motorstorm, you've wasted your money on the multiplats that would have been better experienced on a cheaper system.

I didn't pay $600, I paid about $850 (£425). Sometimes I hate being British.:cry:ball_of_air

Even though I'm sure ther majority of PS3 owners bought for playing games exclusively IT can also be used as a high end blu-ray player. That alone makes the $200 worth it. However, as I said probably most PS3 owners bought it as a gaming machine this point is pretty moot.

MY question to those who bought the PS3... If the PS3 didn;t have a blu-ray player would you have went out and bought a blu-ray player that was priced at $200 or would you have continuted to be happy with DVDs? Even thought I'm sure a few of them will say "Yes of course!" or "$200 for a blu-ray player is a great buy!" chances are that they wouldn't. At least not while blu-ray and HD-DVD are so young.

I doubt it will be 300 next year....

I wasn't attacking you, sorry if it came out like that. I mean besides Gears they really don't have their "Big Guns" out.

Indeed I did buy it for games such as Resistance and Motorstorm as well as Ninja Gaiden Sigma and MLB 07 The Show (which is the best Baseball game out there). And I also enjoyed games such as The Darkness and Rainbow Six Vegas. Yes they are multiplats, but you know what I it doesn't take away the fact that it is a great game.

You can also throw in the fact that I got a PS3 because of free online, Wifi already included, and the fact that it is the cheapest Blu Ray Player. I can say I got my money's worth for purchasing the system when I did.

It is what all early adopters have to deal with when purchasing a system. I mean by your logic why not just purchase the system in 10 years when the price is small and all the games have been released and then just pick them up when the games are cheaper too and play them.

The reason I didn't is because I want to enjoy the good games now and when they come out.

The problem is your logic. You will sit here and tell me that you bought ps3 for the games that are currently available, but we all know those aren't the heavy hitters that Sony touted.

What the ps3 has provided for your money in terms of hardware is meaningless here, the same hardware would be available at a lower price, with the added bonus of a few good reasons to use it.

There just is very little getting around the fact that 600 was too much to pay for a ps3. It's one thing if you're ok with that, but as we're seeing, it will be a much better buy at 500, and not just because it's a lower price.

I got mine for $499 and I'm going to be also using it as a Blu-Ray player as well as a gaming console.

So no, it doesn't bother me.

Right now I'll be content with Ninja Gaiden Sigma (plus whatever Blu-Ray movies I get) until Heavenly Sword, Lair and the rest of the holiday line up comes out.

Shaqneel

I don't know.. Maybe you could ask someone whose 360 has set fire to their house, because mine hasn't. Why are you so defensive? You know darn well that Resistance and Motorstorm aren't must-buy awesomeness, so pray tell what exactly it is that made your $600 investment worth it.

The way I see it, Xbox owners had their cake and have been eating it for some time. PS3 owners paid for a very expensive cake that has to age 2 years before its worth eating, and by that time the price of the cake will have dropped nearly 50%... sounds like a rather poor investment to me in comparison.

But that isn't the big gun MS touted about, for now Resistance and Motorstorm are the best exclusives on the PS3. But next month, Heavenly Sword comes and the month after that is Ratchet and Clank, besides why do you all care? Halo was suppossed to be out months ago from what I understand and it's not coming until next month. That is the biggest game in MS's arsenal, nbut it's not out yet.

Just because you buy a system for a games that are coming out later doesn't mean you can't enjoy games that are already out. How many people bought a 360 at launch for Halo, but they enjoy playing gears of war, oblivion, etc. Plus I can buy an HDTV at any point in time for something later, pleanty of people have purchased and hdtv in the last year for football, maybe for their next super bowl party, or maybe for the new fall line-up does that mean they do not enjoy the hd quality and the tv until football starts or until the fall shows start.

Atleast someone else saw my point.

Early adopters know they are going to be paying for something that will eventually be cheaper, but the extra money is worth it when you want to enjoy all the games as they come out.

I mean why buy a 360 now? Why not wait till the are extremely low in price 5 to 6 years from now and then pick up the 10 best rated games in the system's history? Some people do this, but other people like me enjoy having a system and playing the games when they come out.

hey the ps3's now can play the entire ps2 library, basically. this is what makes it worth it. the ps2 library is better than any other library in any terns(maybe besides fps's). this alone makes the purchase worth it, along with a cheap blu-ray player, and free online, and quality games now like resistance and heavenly sword.

[QUOTE="Prid3r"]and did u know that , if the new rating system was on during 360 launch , the xbox 360 would have launch with 3 AAA .SolidSnake35

Apparently..

By SW logic, WarioWare Smooth Moves is better than Deus Ex.

Kinda sad isn't it?

no because i got to play resistance, oblivion, rainbow six, fight night, watch awesome high def movies, and soon i get to play graw, warhawk, lair, and heavenly sword.... so no. and i got a question for u. are u mad that u have to send ur 360 in every3 months?
