Poll: Should I get a ps3?

[BlindMessiah94]

I'd say save your money. Buy Starcraft 2. It's the only thing you will be playing for the next decade anyway.

three words. GOD OF WAR.

I say yes;

If you have a 360, it will only be a matter of time before you RROD, as it's held together with bubble gum and pine cones. If you do not have a 360, you can spare yourself this fate with the better made console. Also, as far as gaming technology, it's really starting to shine.

I enjoy mine quite a bit, if you have a lot of extra cash on hand then go for it, if you're strapped for cash then just buy more games.

 

[Firia]

I Can only hope there's no such thing as a PS3 Red Ring of Death issue!


In all I say, get yourself a PS3!

It's called the yellow light of death, but since hardly anyone has heard of it it's obviously not much of an issue.

It's a big deal on the PS3 forums. Then again, the forums are the first place sony recomends starting trouble shooting.

Yellow light = internal hardware failure.

I'd go for it. I splurged on one and never regretted it....I can play Halo over at my buddies house if I get really desperate.

 

[GhostPhantasm]

i own an xbox 360 and if i had the money i would get a ps3 in a heartbeat, there are a lot of games that are looking attractive...

 

[Jammerz]

Go with what your friends have. That way, you can game together.

This and if you have the money get both, they're ups and downs but if you have them both then you can avoid the downs

 

[OmniDesol]

I would have said no, but then I saw Heavy Rain played today.

Yes. You now should get one. I am seriously blown away by how good it was, and it makes me really trust in the quality the PS3 could produce.

 

[iamthehorde]

if you have the cash then go and get it. i have an xbox but no desire to get a ps3 so far. my roommate has a ps3 but it broke down recently and the guy is to lazy to send it in. some multiplatform games like bioshock seem to run smoother on an xbox. but if i was you i´d probably get a pc, mainly because i only own a g4 powerbook, which sucks gaming wise.

 

[theshadavid]

I chose ps2 over xbox originally (as I'm sure most sane people did)
but I chose 360 over ps3 because of the prise, and the exclusive games microsoft had, and, until recently, haven't regretted my decision.
But now games like heavy rain are coming out and they look pretty amazing but even I have to admit, the wouldn't work on the xbox. Also my house doesn't have a blue ray player. So should I cross over to the dark side and but a ps3 as well as my xbox? Or should I save and just get all the amazing games I want for the xbox anyway???

I was in the same position and I did buy a ps3. It is a nice console but in the end I still think of my 360 as the master system and it just doesn't have that awesome feel that 360 has. I'm not completely satisfied but there are definitely games that make it worthwhile.

If you want to, go ahead. It's a matter of personal opinion, same with the idea that you even need Blueray (Honestly, I hate the HD/Blueray craze. What's wrong with standard definition!?) but it's ultimately your choice.

It's fuzzy and crap. It's the exact reason no body watched VHS tapes anymore. Hell I don't think I know anyone who still has a VHS player. Get the PS3, the games are great adn the Blu-Ray will blow your mind.

 

[Pingieking]

Heavy rain is basically Quick time event the movie the game. That should not be a buying incentive.

Quoted for non-truth. The above statement is wrong.
I think a PS3 is totally worth it. It's got BluRay and really good exclusives going for it.

 

[RatRace123]

If you can get a PS3, why not? You can elevate yourself above fanboydom by having both consoles, join us, for we are the true gaming master race.

 

[Treblaine]

Yes, but it depends.

Overall you'd be best with a PC or upgrading your PC to likely something a bit more powerful. PS3 really shines with it's first party exclusives and it has a lot of them and many very good ones. Then there is blu-ray and also PlayTV if you live in Europe.

Seriously, ultimate combo right now is PS3 and PC though I'd say PC trumps.

Fuzzy and crap? Every time I see a comparison between Standard Def. and High Def, Standard Def. and BlueRay, or High Def. and BlueRay, I see no noticeable difference at all. If it were a big jump then maybe I could see it worth it but there's really no major difference as far as I can tell.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Yes. Without doubt. Yes yes yes. Greatest $299.99 and your particular tax you will ever spend. Do it. Love it. Thank us later.

 

[Gladion]

If you have many friends who own a PS3 and you want to play online with them - trade in your 360. If you don't, well, only get one if you really want blu-ray. There are so little exclusives on both consoles you only need one for gaming.

Edit: But you have to realize, for a BD-player, the PS3 eats a lot of power. Regular BD-players don't need as much.

Blu-Ray is dead and isn't going to revive to any real extent any time soon since digital distribution is becoming the norm.

Wait... what? Isn't Bluray thriving having won the format war with HD-DVD?
Either way, it's far from dead.

this. blu ray has been selling like hotcakes from what i have seen, in my state/area, more people i know buy blu ray now than standard dvd's, and no one i really kno uses digital distribution for anything, they like to own the hardcopy, and you get the digital copy with it anyways so there is a +1 for that

OT: if you can take the hit, go ahead and get it, i got my ps3 for christmas and i have not been dissapointed, been playing exclusives and i like em all, from demon souls to uncharted 2 to socom confrontation to mgs they are all good imo

look for what kind of games you like and then weigh your opinion along with possibly a few opinions you think are solid on here maybe

 

[asrz]

No, don't get a PS3.
Get three PS3's
