Is the Playstation 3 worth getting now?

Damn thread necromancers.   
 
I'm amazed that people put Demons Souls that high up there as an RPG.  I have it, it was ok, but ME2 and Dragon Age, not to mention some older ones, were definitely better.  I'm actually kinda ticked that we have a PS3 in some ways because whenever I go to the store, I don't really see any games for it that I just gotta have (that we don't already have on 360).

Really?  Bumping threads from 2 years ago?

" @smeff6969: It really all depends, and isn't really something we can best judge for YOU.  Some people here are obviously quite happy with their PS3.   Others see no cause to buy one. Personally, someone got us a PS3 for Christmas last year... we own maybe half a dozen games for it that we never play, and it's collected dust most of the year until just the other day when my kid decided she wanted to play some Little Big Planet. "

 Well, it depends on your situation.
 
If you have some money saved and are choosing what to do with it, I'd say definetely g ofor it.
 
If you're satisfied with your 360 and Wii and wonder if you should start gearing up to buy or 
saving for a PS3 I don't think its a necessity.
 
PS3 has a ton of amazing titles (I don't really get people who are still denying that - it's not 2008, dammit),
so if you want to try them out I'd highly recommend it. It's an awesome console for $300.
 
A list of some awesome PS3 exclusives:
 
Action/Adventure
-Uncharted 1 and 2
-Warhawk
-Valkyria Chronicles
-MGS 4
-Heavy Rain
-God of War III 
-inFamous
 
Platformers
-LittleBigPlanet
-Ratched and Clank:Tools of Destruction and R&T:A Crack in Time 
 
RPGs
-Demon's Souls
 
Racing Games
-Motorstorm 1 and Pacific Rift
-Gran Turismo 5 
 
Shooters
-Resistance 1 and 2
-Killzone 2
 
Party titles
-Buzz! games
 
PSN
-Flower
-Pixel Junk series
-Echochrome
-Super Stardust
-Wipeot games
-some Playstation 1 titles
 
Also there are the PS2 HD remakes such as:
-God of War collection
-Sly collection
-(in June)Ico and Shadow of the Colossus
 
Again, if you know that you'll be able to afford buying some of these and the future titles (would be kinda silly if you bought it and
weren't able to afford games you want for all your different systems ) I'd strongly advise you to buy a PS3.

Yes, it would still be worth it to get a PS3 now.  The next generation of consoles is still at least a few years away and the PS3 offers a lot of value in exclusive titles(like the Uncharted series) and as a Blu-Ray player (if you don't have one already).

I'm far more interested in Dirt3, and again, I'm more likely to get that for 360 rather than the Ps3 due to the online community. "

 I don't see how having a  "larger online community" is a major reason to choose one console over the other, both consoles have a huge amount of people online and the only games that struggle to find people are generally those with bad multiplayer components which effects both consoles.  "

How about you read the post you're quoting next time? He didn't say 'larger online community', he said 'online community'."

" Generally if there's a multiplatform game coming out that I'm interested in, I'll get it for 360 due to the larger community.

If everyone you play with is on the 360 why would you get games for the PS3? (and vise versa) It would have to be an exclusive or vastly superior version, 360 Bayonetta and PS3 FFXIII are the only two that spring to mind. "

"I have been waiting to get a Playstation 3 for sometime now and I was wondering if it is time to give in or wait longer. My Xbox 360, Wii, DS, and Psp have been more than enough entertainment for now. Two factors have kept me getting one. The first is a lack of good games which Sony is finally starting to solve. The second is the price which has been way too high but is finally getting affordable. 
What do think is the Playstation 3 worth getting now or should I wait? "

Hahaha! Oh god, this is awesome.
 
I didn't even realize that this thread is 2 years old :)
And yet I went bashing on the guy who said that in 2008 there were no good PS3 games :-P
 
This is hillarious.
