Well not really.All the IMPORTANT 360 EXCLUSIVES sooner or later appear on the PC in better quality.But thats not the case with PS3.

angelkimne

Do you want a list, or will you accept defeat now ???

What ? Halo 3,Gear of War 2 and a Mass Effect ? All sooner or later on PC.We know that :).Infact if i am not mistaking isnt Mass effect already on the PC ? Yes and it got a BETTER score on PC :D (proves my point).

And lets see the PS3s important exclusives Killzone 2,Resistance 1&2,MGS4,Little Big planet,Grand turismo,Heavy Rain and Uncharted (Notice that i ONLY included MAIN exclusives) None of them will ever appear on PC.

[QUOTE="flowdee79"]I really can't see how people have enough time to play 2 consoles. I study all week and party all weekend =)flowdee79

I work 12 hours a week, just imagine how much time I have left for having fun and do all the other stuff plus gaming lol.

I could easily play 6 hours a day if I get addicted into some game ( MGS4, Mass Effect, COD4 ).

Lucky you, I got college so I work 35 hours a week and I can barely find time to play my 360. I will play it again when Gears 2 comes out and maybe Fifa/Pes.

Thats alot, try to play more on the weekends, enough partying :P

Oh and PES 09 is shaping up really good.

I want to get a PS3 but I just think it would be a waste of money because I won't get enough play time out of it.

Just wait for a price cut then or get a good old used 60GB, it is the best SKU imo.

I don't see the point in owning both for myself. I almost pulled the trigger on a PS3, so I could have NetFlix send me Blu-Ray movies, and stream movies through my 360. Right now, the only game I really wish I had on the PS3 was MLB the Show 08.

The answer yes ......... you just have to have

  • money
  • time
  • like all kinds of games

Just look what is dropping on the ps3 exclusively upcoming for the rest of the year

  • Wipeout HD
  • Socom Confrontation
  • LittleBigPlanet
  • Motorstorm Pacific Rift
  • Resistance 2
  • Valkyria Chronicles

Not to mention the backlog ... MGS4 , Uncharted , Resistance , Ratchet , HS , Warhawk , etc.

It really just comes down other factors ..... objectively , great content is there for both to justify having both.

Nike_Air

A lot of time and like almost all games.

In reality only two of the games you listed really interest me. And I know full well I wont have enough time to play half the multiplatform games I want to, coming out this holiday.

I am sure for a few people it is worthwhile, but I get the impression that a lot of peolpe are buying both and realising only after the fact that one of their consoles see very little use.

Well if you don't think even one of these are main exclusives.... :

Ninja Gaiden 2

Dead or Alive 4

Forza Motorsport 2

Project Gotham Ravcing 3 & 4

Amped 3

Ace Combat 6

Blue Dragon

Lost Odyssey

Perfect Dark Zero

Banjo

Kameo

Lips

Scene It

Infinite Undiscovery

Saints Row

Too Human

Halo 3

Gears 2

And I say Halo 3 & Gears 2 because you stated it as out right fact, which means either you don't think either of them are 'Major Exclusives' or you have total proof both will go too PC.

THIS!!!! Neither my PS3 nor my 360 is used as much as my PC but my 360 is used ALOT more than my PS3.. seems like a wasted investment... that is until I start renting some blu-ray movies :)

One good thing about owning both and Netflix. Is you can watch your bluerays on the PS3 and watch the streams on your 360.

Have not done either yet myself.

I am amazed at the people who say they couldn't find enough games from just the one console. I can see that people might like the option to play every game going but I can't believe people have enough time or money to play every game they are interested in.

People obviously put a high value of some games as we are talking $400 to play the 8-9 quality games a year that don't appear on the other console. (according to this thread 5) And that assumes that every one of them is to your taste.

cakeorrdeath

Well here I am to tell you that with just a ps3 I have enough games to take up my playtime. (I do have a PC and game on it but even so its mostly older games and games that should be played on PC- OB, FEAR, etc)

With only a PS3 I have enough to play enough exclusives that are great (R&C, Uncharted, MGS4, Resistance, etc.) and a ****ton of multiplats which I've enjoyed.

I don't see a NEED to buy a 360 but I do want one for the exclusives. But right now money is the biggest factor and even with a 199 pricepoint its lacking the things I want in that bundle.

So couple the cost to benefit ratio along with the fact that many of my friends have a 360 where I can play a majority of its exclusives and one gaming system is enough for me. (But the PC does help too!)

You're picky , and you made your bed already , and you'll have enough to play on one system ...... I understand. I am the same way. That is why it is a subjective thing ...... objectively , the ps3 has tons of great content ..... we all know that - look at it !!!

A gamer can justify having both.

Do you think there are enough exclusives between the two consoles to justify owning both?

Is it the blu-ray player in the PS3 that convinced you to buy it as a second console?

If you own both which one do you buy most of your games for? How much play time does the other console really get?

Are there really not enough games on just one of the consoles to monopolise your play time?

cakeorrdeath

I got the PS3 as a Blu-ray player primarily and for it's exclusives secondly.

I buy most of my games on the 360, especially coop games because of XBL.

I've always owned all of the consoles available in a generation so I am able to play everything I want to play.I don't see that ever changing. I will get rid of a console if I don't feel that I will be playing it all that much, but I will at least give it a chance.

No, had I owned a PS3 before a 360 I probably wouldn't buy a 360 as the libraries share tons of games. But if I owned a PS3 I would be more compelled to buy the cheaper system in the 360 which currently has more exclusives and more multiplats due to PC/360 rather then if I owned a 360 buying a more expensive PS3 for less games.

Its all about money. They both play pretty much the same games yet the 360 is cheaper in addition to it representing more exclusives, more quality excluisves and a more diverse line up.

I gotta say I like the PS3 a whole of a hell lot more then the Wii. But the $250 entry price for those Nintendo exclusives was cheap enough for me to take the plunge.

Blackbond

So I'm guessing you won't be playing BlazBlue then huh?

What an interesting and unique recomendation......

But to answer your question I would be playing it if was out right now but it isn't. I won't get to play it until about 2010 when it releases Shungo.

Is that the year it releases or is that the year you finally buy a PS3?

well for me, I use the 360 less than my PS3 now but that doesn't say it is not worth the purchase, the 360 offers alot of games that I consider best experiences of this gen ( Dead Rising for example ),

And we need more people who own both consoles to see whats their take on the subject, we can't say few or alot until this thread is flooded with different posters.

I have in past generations so I automatically looked to do the same this time. But apon closer inspection I am no longer convinced it is worthwhile. Both for my considerably smaller amount of free time and because there is less difference between the consoles than ever before.

Well if you don't think even one of these are main exclusives.... :

Ninja Gaiden 2 Not important 8.0 title only

Dead or Alive 4 Nothing to miss out on

Forza Motorsport 2 Nothing special (Grand Turismo is better,Grid is also good)

Project Gotham Ravcing 3 & 4 Again nothing special

Amped 3 What AMPED ? Seriously AMPED ?

Ace Combat 6 Again nothing special

Blue Dragon HAHHA LMFAO are you kidding me ? A 6.0 GAME ?

Lost Odyssey Nothing to miss out on only 7.5

Perfect Dark Zero Yes something good.Count that 1

Banjo ok count that in 2

Kameo What ? i think you forgot to read the word "important"

Lips Nothing special as of yet

Scene It Nothing special 7.5

Infinite Undiscovery hahaha 6.5 game important ? come on man !

Saints Row NOT EXCLUSIVE

Too Human Again please be serious understand my posts and than reply.I wrote IMPORTANT EXCLUSIVES that would be worth buying both the consoles.5.5 game worth buying Xbox ?

Halo 3 & Gears 2

For both Halo and Gears we all know that they will come to PCs sooner or later.Most of the people over here with UNBIASED views will Agree with me :) .

And I say Halo 3 & Gears 2 because you stated it as out right fact, which means either you don't think either of them are 'Major Exclusives' or you have total proof both will go too PC.

angelkimne

Comments in BOLD.

So that makes it a total of 3-4 titles ? 2 of them will most probably appear on PC.But still 200$ isnt much.Still my point proved.Much will be missed out if you dont own a PS3 rather than a 360.

I wasn't really, but I would guess that most who own both bought the PS3 second. Simply for the reason it came out second.

This is true, but I've found that since the PS3 is a Blu-ray player (and a fantastic one at that) that in combination with it's exclusives is enough to justify owning one along with a 360. I love movies, so I get plenty of use out of both consoles by setting up specific functions for each console. The PS3 is my movie player, I use the 360 for coop/multiplayer games and the PC for TV shows/music/internet.

It works out quite nicely for me...

I just love how you use review scores to justify if a console is worth buying or not. That's incredibly shallow.Some of those games that you are disregarding are pretty good games, review scores be damned.

Live a little and think for yourself sometime. You'll might find yourself pleasantly surprised.

You can bash Too Human all you want, but I beat that games 3 times already, It's more than justified the cost of buying it.

Yes Easily

Is it the blu-ray player in the PS3 that convinced you to buy it as a second console?

No its the games that convinced me to buy a PS3

If you own both which one do you buy most of your games for? How much play time does the other console really get?

PS3 Multis and Exclusives 360 Exclusives

Are there really not enough games on just one of the consoles to monopolise your play time?

PS3 gets the most play time. But my 360 doesnt lie there and gather duse. I like them both

If they bought both , their only situation is their own time , money , and game tastes. Generally speaking , both should be getting a ton of use if one likes to play great games. Seriously , who is really going to pass on the Resistance series , Uncharted series , MGS4 , great exclusive online only games , LBP , Gears series , Halo 3 , Fable 2 , NG2 , etc ......... and stuff like God of War III , FF Versus XIII in the future ?

Most likely both unless BlazBlue comes out sooner. But I don't for see it coming out until close to a year after its Arcade Release then you figure since its an Arc Systems game it will take a bit longer to hit here after Japan.

There really isn't any point in buying *My own* PS3 right now as the price is kinda high right for me a person that already owns a 360. That and the roomate has one in the room. I don't believe we need two.

I really wish we could get online with it though. Resnet this year has been beast. Can't connect Wii, 360, or PS3 to it.

[QUOTE="angelkimne"]Well if you don't think even one of these are main exclusives.... :

Ninja Gaiden 2 Not important 8.0 title only

Dead or Alive 4 Nothing to miss out on

Forza Motorsport 2 Nothing special (Grand Turismo is better,Grid is also good)

Project Gotham Ravcing 3 & 4 Again nothing special

Amped 3 What AMPED ? Seriously AMPED ?

Ace Combat 6 Again nothing special

Blue Dragon HAHHA LMFAO are you kidding me ? A 6.0 GAME ?

Lost Odyssey Nothing to miss out on only 7.5

Perfect Dark Zero Yes something good.Count that 1

Banjo ok count that in 2

Kameo What ? i think you forgot to read the word "important"

Lips Nothing special as of yet

Scene It Nothing special 7.5

Infinite Undiscovery hahaha 6.5 game important ? come on man !

Saints Row NOT EXCLUSIVE

Too Human Again please be serious understand my posts and than reply.I wrote IMPORTANT EXCLUSIVES that would be worth buying both the consoles.5.5 game worth buying Xbox ?

Halo 3 & Gears 2

For both Halo and Gears we all know that they will come to PCs sooner or later.Most of the people over here with UNBIASED views will Agree with me :) .

And I say Halo 3 & Gears 2 because you stated it as out right fact, which means either you don't think either of them are 'Major Exclusives' or you have total proof both will go too PC.

Comments in BOLD.

So that makes it a total of 3-4 titles ? 2 of them will most probably appear on PC.But still 200$ isnt much.Still my point proved.Much will be missed out if you dont own a PS3 rather than a 360.

For you who loves to use reviews you realize that the PS3 current only has 4 AAE's and 1AAAAE right? That's 5 games AA or above. 360 got 3 AAE's in the past 3 monthes which would mean in the last three months it recieved 1 less AAE then the PS3 in its entire life time.

Much will be missed out if you don't own a PS3 rather then a 360? Your logic doesn't point to that since you contradicted yourself.

Total AAAA (# exclusive)

  • PS3: 2 (1)
  • 360: 1 (0)

Total AAA (# exclusive)

  • 360: 14 (4)
  • PS3: 9 (0)

Both should have enough exclusives to keep multi-owners happy and busy ...... I think PS3 should provide more gametime with (exclusives) , buy hey if you don't have the time and money ...... skip one of the systems and pretend only one or two games interest you on the other platform , it will make you sleep better at night.

[QUOTE="heretrix"]I just love how you use review scores to justify if a console is worth buying or not. That's incredibly shallow.Some of those games that you are disregarding are pretty good games, review scores be damned.

Live a little and think for yourself sometime. You'll might find yourself pleasantly surprised.

You can bash Too Human all you want, but I beat that games 3 times already, It's more than justified the cost of buying it.

lesner87

Then it shouldnt matter for PS3 games either rite ? Leave it man scores are scores end of story.

What does that have to do with anything? Yes, scores are scores and it changes nothing about what I said. The day I need some dude on a website to tell me if a game is good or not is the day I quit gaming.

360: Dead Rising
PS3: New Team ICO Project

Those are my reasons for owning them both. But then again I've found Kameo and Forza Motorsport 2 since first getting my 360 for Dead Rising and justified the purchase even more. I'll be buying a PS3 as soon as the new Team ICO game hits stores and will probably have more justification for buying it afterwards as well (MGS4 will probably help as well).

You're better off getting SingStar instead ( neither of these games are my cup of tea though ).

Imo no. I have a 360 right now along with a Wii. The 360 gets the most play time out of the two. PS3 doesn't have enough exclusive games that interest me to spend $400. I'm sure MGS4 is a great game, as well as Uncharted, but not good enough for me to make that kind of investment. I also don't have a HDTV so Blu-ray means nothing to me.DireOwl

MGS is awesome, but IMO uncharted was mediocre at best. I much prefer a game like R&C to Uncharted.

First question: Absolutely.

Second question: Absolutely not.

Third question: PS3 is getting all the play time recently, but that's probably because I have a decent gaming rig as well.

Final question: There are enough games on either to satisfy me. Actually wish I would have just gone with a PS3 from the start.

Forza Motorsport 2 Nothing special (Grand Turismo is better,Grid is also good)-Forza 2 got higher ratings than 4 of the 5 gt games released

Project Gotham Ravcing 3 & 4 Again nothing special - PGR3 got 8.8 which only one ps3 game has bested, and pgr4 is better than any driving game on the ps3 by a mile.

Amped 3 What AMPED ? Seriously AMPED ? - better than any snowboarding game on the ps3

Ace Combat 6 Again nothing special - the game got 8.5 there are 2 ps3 games which have scored higher.

Blue Dragon HAHHA LMFAO are you kidding me ? A 6.0 GAME ? - its an rpg, something which ps fans would love to have in thier libraries

Do you think there are enough exclusives between the two consoles to justify owning both? Definitely.

Is it the blu-ray player in the PS3 that convinced you to buy it as a second console? That was a great bonus, and saved me buying a blu-ray player, so that was a factor, but I would have bought it if it only used DVDs either.

If you own both which one do you buy most of your games for? How much play time does the other console really get? Right now, my console play time is fairly evenly split between all 3 and the DS gets some love as well. (Unfortunately my PSP is out in the cold since it lacks games right now.) Late last year the 360 got most of my time, this year up until just before summer has been the era of Wii, and now I'm on a very even playing field with all of them. I use the PS3 a lot as a DVD/Blu-ray player and media streaming from my PC throughout that time. MGS4 and Uncharted really impressed me for it as well. I'm fairly sure most people who own more than one console go through cycles like that.

Are there really not enough games on just one of the consoles to monopolise your play time? There might be, but I'd be missing out on individual games that are "must-haves" for me. I need to play the Nintendo games, the 360 has loads of exclusives and I'd hate to miss them, and the PS3 has been an awesome system all around to use, but no specific games stick with me as "best this gen". FF Versus XIII looks awesome enough though, I'm fairly sure that will be my PS3's game of choice.

cakeorrdeath

So overall the PS3's library has been somewhat lacking for me, but it's been a great system, and knowing by buying early that I got the 60GB with the EE chip is well worth the early investment in it. The 360's been great, I'm not MS Games' biggest fan, but the console has undeniably done well. The Wii is sorta off topic since you asked for a PS3/360 comparison, but I'll just stick with it's awesome and has the most "must-haves" for me. :D
