If you absolutely need a Blu-ray player for some unknown reason?

1. This thread is really original, I've never seen this topic before. 2. Why should people waste time trying to convince you to buy something when ultimately it's your choice...I just don't get these stupid topics.

I happen to like Sony's games. I know those will remain exclusive.

Hating on something you cannot afford. That's a novel idea. I'm glad you decided to make it a thread topic. Another novel idea. You sir, are on fire.

because its the best system thats why.  It wont break.  It wont be outdated for quite a while...cough...360 elite cough...  and its more powerful than any other console.   Thats why 165,000 ppl in the UK got it in a record setting launch

Why?  I like the games like MGS4, Ratchet and Clank, God of War, that new Naughty Dog game, etc.  Sony actually has games that caters to hardcore gamers unlike Nintendo Wii where they'll have 1-5 games a year that cater to hardcore gamers and everything else is casual/non-gamer crap.

Ummm...your first point = opinion, 2nd point = it's been out over a YEAR, 3rd point = it's equpped with less, but you pay for online yet too. Cool, sounds like a great deal...that's why I sold mine long ago :lol:

1. Because I want to play Metal Gear Solid 4.

2. I Dont want an Xbox 360 or a Wii right now.

3. I want a PS3 because it's my choice, I don't care if the Wii and  Xbox 360 is cheaper, I could care less about price.

Well you have 2 facts and 1 opinion. The facts are it has more games and its cheaper. The opinion is it has better games. You have to count the taste of the gamer. Whats good to you can be sucky to them.

I'd really like to get one now to play Motorstorm and try out the GT HD demo. VF5 seems great but may wait for 360 version. Plus I could play the MGS series that I missed out on by not having a PS2, to get me ready for MGS4.  Maybe my reasons aren't worth $600, but hey it still isn't a bad system.

Right now there's no good reason.  But further out, there might be.

I can't think of many reasons at all.

Though I'm considering getting one for 2 stupid reasons:

1. I havn't played MGS3:substance for the PS2 yet as I havn't got one

2. As I'm a James Bond Fan and MGM was bought over by Sony I'll have to get a a Blu-Ray player to watch Casino Royale in Hi-Def :|

£425 ($837) is kinda high just to play a PS2 game and watch one Hi-Def film

If your buying the ps3 for future proof hardware then your a fool. The technology is over 2 years old now. The only thing going for it is the Blu-ray.

And yes the PS2 was aweful to program for to with its assembler only language and dire emotion engine which is why ps2 games looked as blocky as they do now.

If you like japanese designed games then you can't argue it, that is reason enough to splash out. Although spending £500 on it at  this moment in time is a bit strange, unless you want blu-ray. 

As for people in the UK these people never suprise me. When the PS came out there was a petition to the government about how  high the games were. Yet later the ps2 became the biggest selling console. The ps3 on the basis of the name will make people buy it in the UK regardless of price.

If you want to pay 500 quid plus for a console that shows nothing over its competitors then i have to say that all Uk people should have "Mug" pinned straight to their forehead. 

Thank god i am a PC owner. I quit consoles when Sony entered the fray with its blocky graphic consoles.Â
