What's your excuse not to get a PS3?

[QUOTE="moose_knuckler"][QUOTE="AdoringFan_"]

Well for the lemmings, its because of the price.

AdoringFan_

Fixed again! :D

I'm not made of money. And there aren't enough games I find interesting to justify a purchase.

i have one, but the only reason i own it is because i bought my friends launch PS3 for 200.00.

WELL...

1)I have a 360. Most of the games I want are multiplats(like Call Of Duty and Rock Band) or aren't even ON the PS3(Like the Banjo-Kazooie remakes, Halo Wars, Castle Crashers, Mass Effect 1 and so on).

2)XBOX Live might be filled with annoying teamkillers in matchmaking(I met one today in CoD:World At War, MG42ed me and then knifed me while I was down while slurring expletives at me...no idea why, but I filed a complaint on him. Something with Shanker in it, and his clan tag was L33T. =/), but only one of my actual friends own PS3s, whereas virtually all of the rest own 360s, so...XD

3)I'm 14 and my parents aren't exactly the richest. As such, I'm not in a position to spend $400 I don't have on a gaming console or ask my parents for $400 for said console. Plus I'm in need of better guitar gear, so even if I DID have $400, I'd be spending it on some relatively fancy amp or whatnot.

4)My dog ate it.

...NOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

The games and the price are a good excuse..

already own one

I hate how people complain about the price, don't you people know that Sony loses several dollars every time they sell a PS3! Of course I think the PS3 would have been fine without the Bluray player which probably would have decreased the selling price(but thats what makes some people buy the PS3 in the first place).

lil_zelda_dude

i got a blu-ray player for £119 a few months ago :/ bit over exagerated there dude.

i own a 360 and wii and am happy with those 2...the ps3 has some good exclusives and will get one later this year prob

It seems like they're getting harder and harder to come up with these days, doesn't it?

The price is a very acceptable excuse.The only problem is that there is a lot of people who don't need/want some of the stuff that makes it expensive (Blu-ray player), even though a PS3 give you the best bang for buck.

What I don't understand is people saying that the PS3 has "games I don't care about or not interested in." This is very interesting to me because I start to wonder about all the previous consoles these have had. Did they once own a PS2 with the huge game library then buy an Xbox for Halo/Fable 2? Or did PS3's small line up of games that it had in comparison to the Xbox 360 at PS3's launch draw them to the Xbox 360.

Not only because of money, but because of time. I don't have enough time to play my 360 let alone a whole other gaming system.

Excuse? Give me a break. I don't have one because there isn't a single game on it that I want.

I would rather get a gaming PC if I were going to get another system to game on. But that and there are only a few sony only games that I want [ LBP inFAMOUS MGS4 ]

You didn't read my whole post. I'm not talking about the price here. I'm talking about the people who say they want a 360 instead of the PS3 because they aren't interested in PS3 games, which assumes they aren't focused on the price. Also, I already said that the PS3 had a small line up of games compared compare to the Xbox so I don't know why you are basically repeating what I just said, lol.

The Xbox 360 isn't/wasn't more diverse hardware wise and at the PS3's launch it wasn't clear that it the Xbox 360 was"blatently"more powerful.

I already own a Blu-ray player, there's no need for me to buy an additional one.Stevo_the_gamer

so your post suggests that you believe that the PS3 is useless to you except for the fact that it can play blu-ray discs, right?

I've got one.

[QUOTE="-Snooze-"] The Xbox was A, cheaper then the PS3. B, it had alot more good games. Also, it was blatently more powerful, and more diverse, hardware wise.-Snooze-

The PS2 did definitely lack in hardware as it was the older console and I'm assuming that you mean it was more diverse in terms of what the Xbox could do with its hardware. You say it was a great media center. Was it because of the hard drive so you could rip music on it? My brother was the one who played our Xbox game.

Ditto almost everyone else, not getting a ps3 is all about the price. I do have enough money but I'm just not willing to justify paying the price currently tagged when it will be most likely significantly cheaper (heres hoping) by probably september/october at the latest. I have a 360 and wii already so that's another reason. I will buy one though eventually, hopefully in the event of a price drop as I am keen to play a few of the exclusives and the blu ray player remains one of the better models on the market at the moment

My "excuse" is it's to expensive a purchase to justify for the couple of exclusive games I'm interested inthat I can't play on our existing systems.

Once it drops to a couple hundred bucks - then yeah, I probably will.

I don't care for "GIANT ENEMY CRABS". And you "attack it's weak point for MASSIVE DAMAGE". It's Ridge Racer, Riiiidge Racer".

I know you were joking. I just felt compelled anyway to address all those who actually have an allegiance to a certain console.

Also, having limited resources to get all the games they want is still no excuse them to aggresively defend the console they bought and declare others as being useless, for causual gamers not hardcore gamers, or "having worst games than x console so it's dumb to buy it." There are a lot of people who do this this all the time and they are mostly ill informed

It seems like they're getting harder and harder to come up with these days, doesn't it?

Messiahbolical-

I would have waited until the price of blu-ray players dropped before thinking about getting one. I think it would be worth the wait, since they are still very expensive, lol. How much did you buy your PS3 for?mD-

I bought the 40GB PS3 for $400, but when my PS3 broke -- Sony with all their infinite wisdom decided to discontinue the 40GB model -- so my replacement plan for my PS3 (given from Best Buy) was useless. They instead gave me a $403 giftcard... completely ignoring the fact that I payed well over $500 for it considering the cost of tax and the warranty. Needless to say, I was not happy. I used that giftcard to buy a few games and a buy a $270 (was on sale plus used a best buy rewards 12% discount) Blu-ray player.

The fact that I already have a Wii and a 360 and a DS and a PSP. 4 current-gen consoles out of 5 is already much I think so I'll have to pass the PS3. Plus there's only MGS4 and maybe Infamous that I'm interested in for the PS3 so it's really not worth it to buy this thing for two games. That and the price.

I'm happy with my Wii60 duo, I don't need more then that.

For most of the lemmings, its because of the price.

AdoringFan_

So if I'm strapped for money then I'm a lemming? Or if I am a lemming then I'm automatically strapped for cash??? NO

I don't understand why some people can't grasp why people don't want to buy another system. Ever thought that one is enough? Or that person isn't willing to spend that much money? Or that person isn't interested in the games???? Nope Boredy, Your dumb for even thinking that people are willing to spend money on something they can't afford or are not interested in....

Anyway, I don't want one because it's to much money. The Xbox is way cheaper but my mom still isn't that exuberant about buying it. What makes you think that she would want to buy something twice the price?

Price and NO Backward Compatibility (BC). :(

I wish I had bought one with 60Gb and BC when they were available.

I hope Sony would announce the SLIM PS3 with BC at E3. 8)

the only reason I dont have one is the trade in value for the 360 is trash ($60 at the game shops in my area)

I know people with 360s and Wiis so they don't need a PS3 but I also know people with PS3s so they don't need a 360 or Wii. People will buy what they like and if sales are any indication which systems sells the best and which system sells the worst, then sales should show that. My excuse for not getting a PS3 is because I already own one.

mD-

Don't need one, i have a decent PC, a 360 and a PS2 for this generation. I don't want to spend £300 for a few games i don't even like.

Excuse?

Is it an excuse to say I'm a poor college student who already owns a 360 and a PC and cannot justify shelling out $400 for a system with only a small amount of games that I find intresting?
