I usually buy Multiplats on my 360, and the PS3 exclusives though they will definately end up in my library, aren't my top priority of games to buy. On top of that there are still some last gen games I am trying to buy that I never got around to playing. I do plan on getting EoJ, Uncharted, Unreal Tournament 3, and R&C before the new year. I do love playing Warhawk though, personally one of my fav online games. I'd enjoy it if you'd add me TC so we can hook up and play some WH together

how is the PS3 still getting the "too expensive" tag when it is now the same price as the 360 when it came out. Just wondering cuz it seems pretty silly to say that.

I don't buy a lot of games because I guess I'm just careful with money. The only two games I've bought for PS3 this holiday was the Shivering Isles expansion, Ratchet and Clank and The Orange Box.

COD4 was way overrated I thought. It was good, short fun but nothing to go crazy over. Just a rental.

Uncharted was absolutely amazing-while it lasted. I got through the game in 7.5 hours. I'd like to back and play it again but not for $60. Just a rental.

So my question to 360 owners is why do you by so many games?

[QUOTE="TheJuiceyBar"]People rather game on real gaming machines ex: Xbox360, wii, pc, ps2 rather then a blu ray player.-PS360FTW-

I rather buy it on my ps3 because theirs a less chance of it braking on me

Exactly. The console is much more reliable. So I can actually play it.

And the disc remains unscratched. So I don't have to re-pay for it.

I know. I would have spent more money buying a 360 than I did getting a 40gb PS3.

Ps3 owners are going to start buying software in 2008.

I bet games like Tekken 6 , LBP , White Knight Story , Infamous , Burnout Paradise , GT 5 , Killzone 2 , etc will all be great sellers.

So in other words........Just Wait.

I know a lot of people joke about how PS3 owners dont buy games but on a serious note.. Why arent PS3 owners buying games. I mean for the love of God, a game that is so amazing like COD4 didnt even sell 500,000 units in its first month, and uncharted only selling 120,000 units?! I own both a 360 and PS3 and i actually buy games if they are good. Infact i own more PS3 games then i do 360 games.. For my PS3 i own COD4, Warhawk,UT3,Uncharted, Guitar Hero 3 and ratchet and clank and for 360 I own Bioshock, Halo 3 and Gears.. So why is it like pulling teeth for PS3 owners to buy games, even COD4 didnt have that great of sales on the PS3ChristopherM80

1. lack of identity

2. overall consensus games are better on the 360, which is cheaper..

3. bluray movies

4. very little income left after paying $600 for the ps3.

5. the world isn't as "hardcore" as the cows here and typically buy less games.

pick one. :)

Yea i find it disturbing that new PS3 owners are buying motorstorm and resistance over Ratchet and Uncharted...

Maybe it's there taste not everyone has the same one as you
