Attention! I currently have a Wii, DS, PS2, and an Xbox 360. I am thinking of getting a PS3. PLEASE no fanboy comments. I want honest opinions and advices. I currently have 11 games on my 360. Only 4 are exclusives titles in which I haven't played as much as 7 of my games which are also on the PS3. I don't even play Halo or Gears of War. I'm not into FPS or TPS. I'm more into action adventure, fighting, platformers, and action/turn-based rpgs.More exclusives from the PS3 interests me then the ones on the 360. I keep feeling like I shouldn't get a PS3 cause IDK anyone else who has one. Most people I know have a 360. I also hear that some multiplats are better on the 360 than the PS3. Can someone explain to me how?
Never sell a console. Thats the worst decision you could ever make. That being said, multiplats tend to be better on 360. This is due to 360's hardware being easier to work with, so games tend to work better and multiplayer is always better in the 360 version of games. On top of that, 360 games tend to get exclusive DLC, which matters quite a bit. A PS3 is definitely worth owning though, but I would never recommend selling a console. Never. If you're into action adventure, fighting, and platformers though, you should pick up Little Big Planet, Ninja Gaiden Sigma, and Street Fighter 4 for PS3. Sounds like your thing. But in the end, don't sell your 360, you'll regret that in the long run.
.. It would be more productive to burn money.. You get ripped for selling consoles to places like Gamestop.. INless you have a better deal with a direct transaction with a person, don't do it.
your really not going to get a lot for a 360. a second hand one cant be worth anymore that £50 - £60. you'd most likely get more trading some game towards the PS3. and yeah it defo worth owning a PS3 but i think its worth owning both
Selling consoles is stupid, just save up. It may take some time to slowly gather the money, but look on the bright side. When you finally get a PS3 there will be tons of games for you to play on it.
Same as I did, now I have Resistance 1 and 2, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, Killzone 2, Heavenly Sword, MGS 4. and Valkyria Chronicles to play. With InFAMOUS and Uncharted 2. Maybe God of War 3.
Just save up for your ps3 and dont sell your 360. You have like a 11 games, and no 360 which is throwing money in the trash and it will take a long time to get rid of all your games. Anyways if you sell your 360 and games you will lose money.
I've sold consoles before. I get alot of money in return. Also, I'll sell it for store credit and use that for the PS3. And besides, I have alot of games.

No matter how much you could get though, unless its higher than what you paid for it, it would be a waste to sell it. You'd be limiting your options instead of gaining more, and thats just silly.

But Gamespot rips you off on getting store credit. You may get 'alot' of money in return. But it would not be worth it. But it sounds like you made up your mind.

are you planning on selling your 360 or just buying a ps3? if you want a ps3 i'd say go for it, if enough games interest you. Selling the 360 i'd say no, something interested you to get it in the first place, and a game or something might come back around that you want and you'll regret it, like me with the ds (selling twice lols). I will never sell consoles again now.

I trade in at Gamecrazy, they give me a bit more. They had a deal a while ago that you got quite a bit when you traded towards another console. I think its over now though.

Okay so what games in the genres that I play are coming out for the 360 in the coming years!? Please name 10!
[QUOTE="nelfer320"] Okay so what games in the genres that I play are coming out for the 360 in the coming years!? Please name 10! if i was you you i'd make sure the ps3 is 100% what you want, as you don't want to be dissappointed again, ps3 and 360 are very similar, so if no games on 360 interest you i wouldn't go for ps3, i'd look elsewhere or stick with your other consoles/handhelds.

Whatever, its your money. Waste it however you want, I don't care.

Save up some cash then buy a PS3, and Keep your 360.
I don't have space for another console. Also, I have alot of games. If the 360 and PS3 are similar, why have both? Huh? They're similar not the same. They both have there pros and cons but when you have both there's only pro's except for Wii's fun motion control but other than that your g2g.
the older ps3's can not the new ones, but you can buy psone games on the playstation store. the playstaiton 3 is definely worth having. especially for the genre of games you want to play
How much do you enjoy playing those 4 exclusives? Does paying the 50.00 per year for Live matter to you? Are you ready to deal with a service that doesn't have quite as many features as Live but is free and is improving? Do you have an HDTV? Are you into blu-ray movies? Does Sony's future lineup have you excited? Are you ready to deal with multiplats sometimes being inferior in rather miniscule ways?
It goes on and on. Seriously, you're going to lose a good amount of money trading in your PS3. I suggest you consider everything everyone has said and make your decision based on what games YOU want to play and what system your friends are on.
BTW, feel free to add me as a friend if you should happen to get a PS3.

To answer ur questions: 1. The exclusives are Crackdown, Kameo, Fable 2, and Tales of Vesperia. I have beaten them and now got bored with them. I don't feel like playing them again. 2. Yes cause I find it outrageous to pay to play online when I have to spend the same amount on games! 3. I don't even mind since I rarely play online. I play solo most of the time. 4. Yes. Its a Sony 32"inch LCD HDTV 5. Yes for I rent movies often. I can start renting blu-ray movies when I get a PS3 6. Not a whole lot but I like it. 7. Yes for I have played games like GTA IV on the a cousin's PS3. I found no differences what so ever.
But GTA4 is one multiplat that is the same, if not better, on PS3. Some multiplats are noticeably different. This is slowly becomming untrue, but it's still there. Also, some companies require an install on PS3 but not on 360. In the end, it's your decision. You'll do what you feel is best. Both consoles are really really good and you can't go wrong either way.
i sure as hell wouldnt sell my 360 for a ps3 though
im trying to sell my ps3 as we speak

Selling your PS3? Why? Need money to pay that XBL fee? Just joking of course. But seriously, why would you sell it. Celtics are done this year btw. ive had a great run with my ps3, but i dont ever use it, i dont get any replay value for any of its games, i dont take any games online because i dont use psn (not saying its crap, all my friends own 360s and i'm usually on live) on top of that i guess i could use an extra few hundred bucks, im going to london this summer to see MJ! (lol) so more money would be nice
Great idea, sell a bunch of your old games NOT the 360 system itself.I got rid of my first PS3 and regretted it so I since had to get another one. And now I'm more into my 360 again anyway and the PS3 has again fallen by the wayside. But I'm not about to sell it again cause I know a few months from now there will be a reason to use it again. BTW a refurbised 360 is selling on Gamestop right now for $170...and trust me if you were to sell yours you wouldnt even get close to that amount.

Yeah that is pretty true.
I sold my Wii for a PS3 and was happy I did it at first, but now I may want to get a Wii again.
