MGS is comiong to the 360 and looking far superior actually. And GOW isn't worth the price tag. So no, stick with your wii.

Why don't you give him yours? You don't seem to like it. And how did you come to the conclusion that the 360 version looks superior?

You're going to bust 400 dollars for two games? I'd invest the money in something better.

It's never wise to buy something for one game... good thing for the PS3, it's not. You should get it, but look into Killzone 2, Resistance 2, Uncharted, inFAMOUS, Warhawk, LBP, etc.

It has the most hardware features, but in terms of software features, the 360 destroys it.

Also the 360 has twice as many Games, and has the most highest rated games, so the 360 is obviously the best bet when it comes to games. but as the TC said, he wants MGS4 and GOW3, and I brought my PS3 for just MGS4 :D

I don't know if you care or if the price is too much, but Amazon still has the 80GB Ps3 for sale with MGS4(plays Ps2 games). And right now if you buy a Ps3 you get a DS3 for free, but it's still $500 there.

Edit: Check the free controller, that's only with the 80GB version without MGS4 or Ps2 compatibility.

IMO it's a good buy, and has some great games, but if you feel you don't need it, then don't get it. Your not right or wrong in whichever decision you make for yourself.

I think you should buy one simply so you can have all 3 systems. The only valid opinion on gaming is from someone without bias and owning all three allows you that luxury.

I'd say get one if you really want it.

I found a cheap one for 250 Euro on ebay last week and couldn't resist. MGS4's story telling blew my mind. KZ2... not so much, very average game IMO.

MGS4 is NOT going to the 360, the 360 is getting a multiplat MGS:Rising. The PS3 will have them both. And how in the hell did you come to the conclusion that the 360 version is looking far superior, there was no video or screenshot, or anything shown. just an announcement

The PS3 was the last of the big 3 that I bought. Depending on your preferences, it got a lot going for it. The free wireless online was a big plus for me. That being said, I'm not much of an online gamer, I use it mainly for downloading demos. I know a lot of people buy their multiplats on 360 because they have a bigger network/more friends with one.

One downside is game price. If you buy your games soon after release, there really is no difference. However, I've found that 360 versions of multiplats go down in price quicker on the 360.

Shouldn't this argument be dead and buried? PS3 already has a slew of great exclusives out with more to come.

The PS3 has always been a bargin with all the hardware that comes in the system. I bought one of the first 60 gig systems and have never looked back even after paying about $600.00 for the system. I never turn my system off and it has never overheated or had any kind of problems. As for friends list my list is maxed out at about 100 friends and I can find friends online at any time of the day or night.
