Why i do not have a ps3 yet, and what it would take to get me to buy one.

So this generation i own a xbox 360, psp, and a capable pc. Most of my friends have 360's as well, though a few also have ps3's and i have a good amount of playtime on it. Right now, i have maybe 10% interest in buying a ps3 RIGHT NOW though, and here is why.

Blu-ray: It is a great thing for the consumers that sony put a blu-ray player in the ps3 (im not so sure it was good for sony though.) Having a Blu-ray player cheaper than actual blu-ray players, awesome. However, the last time i bought a dvd was in 2001. I usually watch all the great movies i want to see in theaters and then im good. So in my case, blu-ray does not really motivate me to buy a ps3. This is in my case only remember, because the blu-ray player alone is a system seller to MANY people.

Games: This is what really matters to me. The ps3's games do not all suck. However, most good ps3 games are multiplat, so its really only exclusives that i take into consideration seeing if i should get a ps3. When i go through the ps3 exclusive that are available that i would like, i see Metal Gear Solid and warhawk... This is where the 10% interest is. I am not a Metal Gear Solid fan, but since it got GREAT scores i would pick it up if i had a ps3, but it is not a system seller at least to me. Warhawk also looks like a game i would like to play, but looks very like its... i dunno, small? Hard to describe. GT used to be on the list of "why i should get a ps3," since i am a big sim racing fan especially online, but i honestly think it is over shadowed by Forza at this point in time (at least until they release a proper GT game for the ps3, are there any release dates yet?) I did not like Prologue, aka expensive demo... sorry to those who liked it :D

What it will take: More good exclusive games!!! MAG gameplay video/pictures. Price cut? MAG release date. To people that are in the same position as me, what else would you add to the list? MAG...

More exclusive games? Have you seen the ps3's lineup this holiday?

Quite frankly, it looks like the system just isnt for you, which is a shame as the feeling of owning all 3 systems can't be matched.

EDIT: Also, you're the first person I've seen complain over Sony's price since the 80gb is now 399.99.

Its so obvious you just dont like it. so....

dont buy it?

For me it's simple. Make the mother****er backwards compatible. locopatho

Mine is :P

Grrr. I have the pleasure of being in Europe. So in addition to waiting 6 months for Brawl, I don't get proper BC. O well.

Not one game has wowed me.. Not one. I would have to say there is not one reason I would buy a PS3. Where's the 4D? Not one game looks or playes better than COD4. pilotc

Plenty of great games on PS3, at least to me. Sorry you don't feel that way, but it can't please everyone.

Until the PS3 has a quality selection of games i won't be buying. They have like 1 game that i'd like to try after i researched it. After so many titles are switching to the 360 also i don't think that will happen soon. Don't forget about 360 exclusives like Fable and Gears that will keep your mind off of having to even buy a PS3 anyways.xsfseal

im not worried about the 360 not having games for me to play xsfseal. Im just wondering what other reasons / games i havent seen exist for the ps3 that would woo me into buying it.

Its good your enjoying your system zyasun! Also, what i ment by my first post is games that are available NOW. I wont go get a ps3 for future games. When those games come out and if they rock, i have no problems going out and getting a ps3. Can you list the games that you are waiting for, i will go and to the research on them.101xxx

well for me, at the moment, im only waiting for white knight story, ratchet and clank, little big planet, ff13(also on 360), and tekken(no clue when this is comming out). not really looking foward to kz2 and r2... im getting tired of first person shooters, theyre all the same to me -_-.

Really...plenty. Maybe Ok games but not great. I have played most of your great games for hours..and they ain't great. Average at best. The only game I haven't played was MGS4.

How did you play my games? My apartment is locked.

If you meant PS3 games, I would have to let you know, that I have all the consoles, so none of them are "my" systems. And I have played lots of games over a very long time, and to me, the PS3 has quite a few great games.

Like I said, sorry you don't feel that way.

I dont buy systems for 1 game. If you do then you will end up disappointed.

I bought my PS3 to play alot of games, both exclusives and multiplats.

I find it funny that people say they would have bought a PS3 for FF 13, but yet they say they wont buy a PS3 just to play MGS 4.

While you squabble I will be having loads of fun with these games......Force Unleashed, Resistance 2, Infamous, Fallout 3, RE 5, FF 13, Quantum of Solace, Killzone, and many more.

A happy gamer with just one system will buy multiplats and exclusives that interest them.

I hope you ment "people" in general, because i did not say any of those things. And yea, i have seen some videos on those games you said. Most are multiplat, but resistance 2 and infamous look cool. When they come out, they might raise my interest level in ps3 a little.

I am in the same boat about Gears 2, but will hold off to see if there is a PC port.. All in all each system will share most of the games and both do not have a single game system seller. It will come down to hardware, first party support, and future features.

If you are really looking into getting a PS3 ask somewhere else because this place is full of cheerleaders and non logic.

This is not a me against you thing. I am just saying PS3 doesn't have alot of great games and where is the 4d. I think the whole thing is hyped up piece of junk.
